Addington Race 6

THANKS ROSO FOR YOUR INDUSTRY CONTRIBUTION PBD

Stake: $5,800

GOTCHA SANTANA (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Homebush Swindle (16.80) in a Class 4. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Makes plenty of appeal. DEWY NEWS (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (17.83) in a Class 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Drops down a class today and is a great chance to atone. HEART BEATS RICO (5) has a strong record this trip with four wins and four placings from nine starts. Hit the frame latest (17.20) when second at this track in a Class 4. Makes strong appeal on best. GO LARRY (6) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out. Is one to include in all exotic bets.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 295m at this track. Needs to lift.
