Addington Race 9

ITM ORDEAL CUP (HANDICAP TROT)

Prize Money: -

MUSCLE MOUNTAIN (11) scored by 7 metres at this track over 1980m last start at his first run back from a spell. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. OSCAR BONAVENA (12) ran third last start at Albion Park over 3157m, beaten 9 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. LOVE N THE PORT (6) should be ready to peak now after finishing fourth over 1980m at this track two weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. CONFESSIONAL (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 7 metres when resuming at this track over 2600m.

Well beaten last start by Muscle Mountain, a rival who he faces again; when 18 metres seventh at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ race on August 22. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Resumed this campaign three starts back after a long break. Wasn't too bad last time 3rd (Fr5) over 2200m at Gore Raceway, beaten 2 m by Mixed Faith (2:47.20) in 3yo+ on August 24 at $17.30. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Well beaten last start by Muscle Mountain, who he meets again; when 15 metres sixth at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ race on August 22. This looks far too tough.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Sr5) over 3157m at Albion Park, beaten 9 m by Arcee Phoenix (3:57.00) in No NR on July 19 at $9. Progressing well. Sure to be there at the business end.
