Addington Race 9

BETAVET THANKS JACK HARRINGTON HANDICAP PACE

Prize Money: -

MARKETPLACE (5) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 2600m at this track. Will have plenty of admirers. MO'UNGA (2) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a tenth at Mt Harding on November 30. Expected to run well. HADRON COLLIDER (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 2600m. Hard to find fault. AMERICAN ME (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 3000m at Mt Harding last time out.
