Addington Race 4

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT FEATURE PBD

Stake: $3,500

GOTCHA LUCK (3) has hit the frame at one of eight starts and has won two of last three, the latest scoring (16.84) over 295m at this track. Looks the testing material here. FERRARI JEWEL (2) produced a useful 17.21 when placed over 295m at this track last start in a Class 4. Has the ability and can measure up. DIAMOND HARRIOT (4) lines up here off a comfortable win at Ascot Park after jumping from box 5 (22.95). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Form should stack up. SUN STRIKE (5) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2.75 lengths third but did clock a speedy 17.21 over the 295m journey. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 7 lengths over 295m at this track in a handy 16.84, beating Gotcha Winnie. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 16.84. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 390m at Ascot Park in a handy (22.95), beating Homebush Bentley. In form and is right in the mix again.

Was out of placings last time (17.49) at this track in a Class 4, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Has two wins and four placings from 10 starts from the draw. Has ability and should be around the money.
