Addington Race 10

THE LAST POST FFA MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

VESSEM (6) continued a strong run of recent form and registered another win last time out, scoring by 3 metres over 1980m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. BEACH BALL (5) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 2600m. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can add to the impressive recent record. WISH ME LUCK (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1980m at this track last time out. Each way value. WHO'S DELIGHT (4) will be suited by the small field and must be considered after he finished third over 1980m at this track two weeks ago.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Harrison John at this track over 1609m on April 4 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Vessem at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 11 at $6.40. Solid top-three prospects.
