Addington Race 4

WOODLANDS STUD 'ALL STAR FIVE' PACE

Stake: $17,000

SLOTS (1) has been racing very well and kept it up last time out with a strong win at this track over 1980m. Has the benefit of a good draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MAGICIAN (5) finished second last start over 1980m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1980m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. CARDI B (4) resumes. Last appeared when a modest ninth over 1980m at this track four months ago. GOT YOU COVERED (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1980m at this track. Stick with him in the small field.

Finished third at his last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 6 metres behind Slots at this track over 1980m 3yo+ on July 18. Racing very well. Building in fitness so has claims.
