Addington Race 8

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR ANDY MCCOOK STAKES

Prize Money: $7,182

YUKI (8) comes here after a scorching win over 457m at Ascot Park in 25.90. Seems to have regained his confidence. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. TWISTED TRUTH (3) won by a space two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when second at this track (30.62) last time. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading player again. ANGLERS ARMS (4) started big odds but ran one of the quickest times of the card with a half a length win (30.41) at this track latest. Solid record here winning seven races. Can make it back-to-back wins. MISTER EFFICIENT (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit. Odds will be lucrative.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 30.36. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 520m at Wanganui at Class 4/5 level. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (26.04) over 457m at Ascot Park. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Latest effort finished 2nd in a Class 5 on May 21 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Fannin beaten 6 lengths (30.62). Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Go close on best.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.41 last start, beating Paw Striker. Has run slick time here with a 30.16 PB at the distance. Stay with him.
