Addington Race 2

McVICAR ITM MOBILE PACE

Stake: $16,000

IT'S TOUGH (5) made a winning return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, getting home by 4.5 metres over 1980m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done again. SCRUNCH (1) kicked off his career with a win two weeks ago, getting home by half a metre over 1980m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. AUNTIE DEB (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1980m. Genuine threat. DANCING DESIRE (9) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1980m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Crunch Time at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on August 22 at $21.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Rustenburg at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on August 29 at $14.20. Can improve enough to take this out.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Fr8) over 1980m at this track, beaten 45 m by Caught The Eye (2:23.70) in 3yo+ on August 15 at $44.80. Before that 7th (Fr9) over 1980m at this track beaten 13 m by Joyride (2:23.80) in 3yo+ on August 1 at $42.90. This looks a far sterner task.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
