Addington Race 4

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Stake: $4,400

DINGO NIGHT (3) broke the clock when winning over 295m at this track last start, taking a Class 5 in a scintillating 16.77. In form and looks the one to beat again. GOTCHA HIDE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (17.34) last time in a Class 5 at this track. Key player if he finds his best. WAVE DANCER (4) ran a swift 17.14 despite finishing fifth over 295m at this track last start. In form and must include in calculations. AVA (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish. Sure to be running on strong at the business end.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a dominant 17.01 over 295m finishing third at this track. Looks a key chance.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Won two starts back at Manawatu over 375m in 21.77. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 295m at this track at R/A level. Look for improvement. Right in the mix again.
