Addington Race 1

LIVAMOL AMATEUR DRIVERS MOBILE PACE

Stake: $8,000

ALMIGHTY CLEVER (3) finished fourth of 12 last start over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior when leading all of the way. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the talent to return to the winners' list. ENYA FRANCO (4) finished second last start over 1980m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres. Best recent result was a win at Ashburton Raceway three starts ago. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. FOVEAUX GAMBLER (6) is in the mix following a respectable second of eight at his most recent appearance over 2600m at this track. GLIDING HIGH (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up at long odds over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 11 m by Treasure Cove (2:47.30) in 3yo+ on April 3 at $59. Decent effort last start. Top chance in this line-up.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Samvasa at Phar Lap Racecourse over 2100m in a 4yo+ on April 2 at $7.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Okiwi Bay at this track over 1980m in a 4yo+ M on April 9 at $5.10. Winning prospects.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Georgie Zukov at Phar Lap Racecourse over 2100m in a 4yo+ on April 2 at $17. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Onwardsandupwards at this track over 2600m in a 4yo+ on April 9 at $7. Should go well again off the same draw.
