Addington Race 5

STONEWALL STUD & STABLES MOBILE PACE

Stake: $10,000

PATIRO (9) resumes from a spell after finishing eighth at his latest appearance at Ashburton Raceway on June 1. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has the class to take care of this field. IVONA DADIC (8) is in good form at present. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance based on recent form. MELTON MAGNATE (10) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1980m. Genuine threat. KALATRA (6) could only finish ninth over 1980m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr7) over 1980m at this track beaten 12 m by Enya Franco (2:30.30) in 3yo+ on July 27 at $24.80. Before that 8th (Fr4) over 1980m at this track, beaten 14 m by Stubing (2:29.00) in 4yo+ on July 6 at $27.60. This looks far too tough.

Last start 12th (Sr5) over 2600m at this track, beaten 24 m by Mouton Cadet (3:16.40) in 4yo+ on July 25 at $36.80. At his previous start 8th (Sr1) over 1980m at this track beaten 12 m by Loveyourmother (2:29.80) in 4yo+ on July 13 at $10.40. Certainly up to this and expected to atone.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Harry Belafonte at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on July 20 at $8.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Enya Franco at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on July 27 at $5.80. Should be in the finish again.

Returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth behind Times Are A Changin at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m in a 4yo+ on June 1 at $8.20. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 6 m win (Fr6) at Mt Harding (1:59.50) beating Tanganyika in 4yo+ on November 1 at $4.10. Can open the campaign with a win.

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1980m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Brandi Snapp (2:31.20) in 3yo+ on July 20 at $6.10. Top chance in this line-up.
