Addington Race 7

Valley Inn Tavern Distance

Stake: $5,900

MAESTRO MOJITO (4) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Finished third (45.35) at Wanganui last time making it two minors on end. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Winning claims. MATRYOSHKA (3) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at Wanganui over 755m behind Grande Vue Ace (45.71) in a Class 2/3 FIN. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Can measure up this time. BIT OF BACARDI (8) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Wanganui over 755m (45.39). Should be about the mark. ADOBE DAZZLER (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui (45.71) in a Class 2/3 FIN, finishing a 8 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Class 2/3 FIN on December 6 over 755m at Wanganui behind Grande Vue Ace beaten 3 lengths (45.35). Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Hit the frame latest (30.52) when second at Wanganui in a Class 1. Has one success and seven minors from 12 starts from box 6. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Has finished fifth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Wanganui over 755m. Others make more appeal.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (45.25) over 755m at Wanganui. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need everything to go her way.
