Addington Race 4

NORWOOD MACHINERY PACE

Stake: $16,000

RIPTIDE (7) opened his career in pleasing fashion two weeks ago, finishing second and beaten 1.1 metres over 1980m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. MYSTIC MAGIC (3) resumes here after closing her last campaign with a eighth at Ashburton Raceway on September 1. Expecting a very good run. ALWAYS B HAYLEY (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at her first run back over 2000m at this track. EDICT (6) has each-way claims following a respectable second at his first run back over 2600m at this track.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Coba Charged at this track over 2600m in a 3yo+ on July 6 at $27.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Archer at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on July 13 at $9.80. Has the same draw and gets its chance to break through.

Three-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1980m at this track, beaten 1.1 m by Berrettini (2:27.40) in 3yo+ on July 4 at $1.90. Has to contend with an awkward draw but is a likely improver.
