Addington Race 9

BOOK NOW FOR MID WINTER XMAS AT ADDINGTON 1 & 15 AUGUST PACE

Stake: $16,500

C C ARDEN (4) won at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 2600m at this track, beaten 11 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. RUSTENBURG (7) was responsible for a far better performance when second up last start, finishing third over 1980m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can find the winners' circle. THE COALMAN (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1980m at this track last time out. In the mix. MYSTERY BEACH (9) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 2600m.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Our Shangri Lana at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on July 11 at $8.50. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 4.5 m win (10m 4) at this track (3:20.10) beating Mystery Beach in 3yo+ on July 6 at $4.10. Rates highly. Nicely drawn and gets his chance to bounce back.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 2600m at this track, beaten 11 m by Classie Linc (3:17.80) in 3yo+ on July 4 at $1.60. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 14 m win as favourite (Fr7) at this track (3:16.90) beating Carbon in 3yo+ on June 20 at $1.70. Capable of playing a major role.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind The Lazarus Effect at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m in a 3yo+ on May 22 at $15. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Christies Art at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on July 11 at $4. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Christies Art at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on June 27 at $7.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind The Coalman at this track over 2600m in a 3yo+ on July 6 at $2.50. Close to a win.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1980m, 7 days ago before that 4th (Fr1) over 1980m at this track beaten 15 m by Amass (2:24.90) in 3yo+ on June 27 at $20.50. This looks far too tough.
