Addington Race 10

THANK YOU DAVE MATHESON DASH PBD

Stake: $5,900

GOTCHA BINGO (7) was a (16.94) winner last time out at this track from Box 7. Has a solid record from this box including six wins and a minor placing. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. COOL FRIENDS (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (17.24) in a Class 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Usually shows very good box speed. TWO DOWN (3) is a progressive type who recorded his 21st career win last time out (17.00) at this track. Expected to feature again. SLEEPLESS MAY (8) saluted last start after racing on the speed. Sure to run well again despite rising in class.

Was out of placings last time (17.24) at this track in a Class 5, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in six runs from this box, including four wins. Key player.

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.3 lengths in a Class 5 last start at this track, recording an enormous 17.00 over the 295m journey. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by one length in 16.96, beating Gotcha Bingo. Last start finished 5th over 295m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (17.51) behind Opawa Archie in a Class 5 on July 9. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Was out of placings last time (17.20) at this track in a Class 5, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Has three successes and two minors from nine starts from box 6. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
