Addington Race 8

GARRARDS SIRES' STAKES SERIES 3YO C&G SEMI-FINAL (MOB PACE)

Prize Money: -

MARKETPLACE (9) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 18 metres victory over 2700m at Alexandra Park. Must overcome a very wide draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat once more. FIVE CROWNS (1) scored by 13 metres at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m last start, the second win from his past three outings. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. GOT THE CHOCOLATES (12) disappointed last time when seventh over 2700m at Alexandra Park. Can make amends. FLASHPOINT (2) is a genuine type who was second most recently at Ascot Park Raceway. Hard to rule out.

Solid performance when a close second behind Malakai at Central Southland Raceway over 1609m in a 3yo CG on April 17 at $59.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Five Crowns at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m in a 3yo CG on April 27 at $55.40. Going along well. Should be in the finish again.

Well beaten last start by Five Crowns, a rival who he faces again; when 25 metres fifth at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m in a 3yo CG race on April 27. Not keen.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 2700m at Alexandra Park beaten 80 m by Marketplace (3:14.90) in 3yo on April 25 at $3.50. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.1 m (Fr5) at Alexandra Park (2:42.00) beating Marketplace in 3yo on April 19 at $8.70. Likely to measure up this time.

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 2nd (Fr8) over 2000m at Rangiora, beaten 6 m by Spirit Downunder (2:26.10) on May 4 at $6.30. This looks a far sterner test.
