Addington Extra Race 4

AMBERSMOOTH SPRINT PBD

Stake: $5,900

GOTCHA BINGO (7) in the money last time at this track (17.03) in a Class 5, finishing a one length second. Was sent out a very hot favourite last start but just went down. Expected to be in the finish. DURRINGTON (8) was last seen when rocketing around 295m at this track in 16.86 for a 1.75 lengths victory. In form and must include in calculations. SPOT THE ANGEL (5) produced a quick 17.08 when filling a minor placing over 295m at this track last start. Should be in this for a long way. BUSTED HANDLE (4) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run. Odds will be appealing.
