Addington Race 13

DARFIELD ITM MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

BETTER BE QUICK (2) is in good form at present. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 3.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she can grab that well-deserved win. MIKI SKIPPER (3) has had two runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished fifth over 1980m at this track, beaten 19 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SWEET ESPRESSO (1) pulled up last start over 1980m at this track a week ago. This is a nice assignment and a forward showing is anticipated. JOHN STEWART (5) ended last prep with a second at this track over 1980m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Good run 3.5 metres second behind Captain Cool at Oamaru over 2000m 3yo+ on August 17. Failed to finish behind Candy Cane on August 29 at this track over 1980m 3yo+. Top pick if at her best.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m second behind Candy Cane at this track over 1980m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 1.4 metres second again at this track in 3yo+ FM on August 15. Deserves a win and gets her chance from an inside draw.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 5th (Fr9) over 1980m at this track, beaten 19 m by Candy Cane (2:27.80) in 3yo+ on August 29 at $8.20. The run previous 7th (Fr6) over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 22 m by Captain Cool (2:26.10) in 3yo+ on August 17 at $9.60. Worth another chance. Rates highly on best form and he can find winning form.
