Addington (G) Race 2

ROSE & THISTLE STAKES HEAT 2

Stake: $3,900

ANGLERS ARMS (4) was well fancied on debut but could manage only a minor placing when second (26.06) at Manawatu. Shows promise and can open winning account this time. PORK CHOP (6) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 525m behind Goldstar Max (31.33) in a Class 0 FIN. Was in the money prior to that. In the mix. VILI VROOM VROOM (5) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 525m behind Goldstar Max (31.51) in a Class 0 FIN. Leading chance. EXPLORER BOOTS (3) is a newcomer from the D Fahey & K Wyllie kennel. Profiles well so pay to keep very safe.

Latest effort finished 5th over 525m at this track beaten 10 lengths (31.33) behind Goldstar Max in a Class 0 FIN on March 28. Should prove hard to beat.
