Addington Race 2

DAVE ROBBIE PHOTOGRAPHER DASH PBD

Stake: $3,200

SUN STRIKE (4) missed the frame but ran a good fourth at this track over 295m in 17.24. Down grades today. Has the ability and looks hard to top. HARD FROST (8) was a course and distance winner (17.10) last time also from the same draw, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Class 2. Up in class today but rates a key player again. MITCHAM ARLICA (2) last start finished 4th on September 17 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Bubbles Tonight beaten 6 lengths (23.18) in a Class 3/4. Looks well placed here and among the chances from a low draw. BUMRAH'S JADEJA (6) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time. Odds will be lucrative.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by half a length at this track (17.34) beating All Potential in a Class 2 H on September 12. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Did a good job two starts back at Manawatu to win by 5 lengths in 26.03, beating Our Boy Romeo. Last start finished 4th in a Class 1/2 on August 20 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Wingatui Wizard beaten 6 lengths (26.71). Can bounce back with the right run.
