Addington Race 7

SHENAN DE SILVA AT CORCORAN FRENCH MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

GOT THE CHOCOLATES (5) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by 14 metres over 2600m at this track. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall again. JUMAL (3) had been racing in great heart then maintained the momentum last start when he scored over 2200m at Alexandra Park, getting home by 1.1 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. HARRISON JOHN (2) is in fine form with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at Rangiora over 2600m. Capable of turning this good form into a well-deserved win. HADRON COLLIDER (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2600m at Rangiora.
