Addington Race 10

SPRINGSTON HOTEL DASH PBD

Stake: $4,400

DIAMOND RANGER (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with 12 wins and 13 minors from 28 tries. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (22.50) in a Class 4/5 over 390m at Ascot Park. Makes strong appeal on best. COOL FRIENDS (4) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten 1.5 lengths (16.84) at this track in a Class 5 FIN over 295m. Can measure up. HADWIN BALE (8) has a strong record this trip with 16 wins and 10 placings from 39 starts. Missed the frame latest (16.95) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 5 FIN. Can feature in the finish from an ideal box draw. RAPHAEL JEWEL (3) was below best last time at this track (17.20) in a Class 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has four wins already from this draw. Odds will be lucrative.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 3 lengths in a Class 5 H at this track and clocking a lightning 16.92 over the 295m trip. Expected to go close this company.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Class 4/5 last start at Ascot Park, recording a solid 22.50 over the 390m journey. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Was out of placings last time (16.95) at this track in a Class 5 FIN, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Strong record off the draw with eight wins and three minors from 17 starts. Makes strong appeal.
