Addington Race 1

IRT. YOUR HORSE. OUR PASSION. MOBILE TROT

Stake: $20,000

MR LOVE (5) finished third last time out, beaten 17 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 2600m when second-up from a break. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of taking this out. SUNNYS SISTER (6) resumes from a spell here after closing her last prep with an eleventh at this track on September 6. Has ability and should be right in the finish. FREYA (1) disappointed last time when ninth over 2600m at this track. Can bounce back. MAUI (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2600m at this track on March 28.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Bet N Win at this track over 2600m on March 14 at $72.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Eurostyle at this track over 2600m on March 28 at $5. Fitter and should run well.
