Addington Race 7

"UP THE WAHS" (ANZAC CLASSIC) MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

ARTHUR SHELBY (12) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 2.25 metres over 1980m at this track. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Meets a comparable field and he is all set to make it a hat-trick. STRIKEM (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 17 metres into eighth at Mt Harding over 1609m. No excuses from this more advantageous draw. Big chance if anywhere near his best. SACETAS (2) has been racing well and must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Mt Harding a week-and-a-half ago. WARRIOR CHIEF (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1980m at this track last time out.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at Mt Harding, beaten 5 m by American Blaze (1:57.80) in 3yo+ on April 13 at $2.70. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win (Fr9) at Ashburton Raceway (2:00.80) beating Spiritual Bliss in on March 26 at $1.50. Great chance to salute from the more favourable draw.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind American Blaze at Mt Harding over 1609m in a 3yo+ on April 13 at $4.80. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:25.90) beating Watching Brief in 3yo+ on April 4 at $3.20. Can do much better.

Resuming after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into seventh behind Perun at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on October 3 at $6. A big run would not surprise.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr4) over 1980m at this track, beaten 24 m by Sideshow Bruce (2:22.80) in 3yo+ on April 19 at $36.60. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.5 m (Sr1) at this track (3:12.80) beating Major Torque in 3yo+ on March 28 at $5.50. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (10m 3) over 3000m at Mt Harding, beaten 16 m by Here's Herbie (3:54.60) on April 13 at $10.20. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.1 m (Fr5) at Wyndham Raceway (2:56.00) beating Secret Agent Man in 3yo+ on March 30 at $6.20. Among the chances on best form.

Didn't do much at the last run, 11th (Fr4) over 3000m at Mt Harding, beaten 14 m by Here's Herbie (3:54.60) on April 13 at $52.80. Before that 10th (Fr1) over 2600m at this track beaten 20 m by Renegade (3:16.30) in 3yo+ on April 6 at $81.70. This looks far too tough.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following February 28 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m (Fr5) at Mt Harding (1:57.80) beating Premier in 3yo+ on April 13 at $12.70. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1980m. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr6) at this track (2:24.70) beating Munroe's Mate in 3yo+ on April 11 at $3.40. Hard to beat.
