Addington Race 4

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH STAKES

Stake: $4,400

TAIERI GOUT (6) below best last time at this track (30.97) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 4 length fourth. Makes strong appeal on best. PERFECT HARRY (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.49) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Yet to miss the placings from four starts out of this box. Expected to be in the finish again. MINI BULL (2) has a strong record here including three wins from five starts. Comes off a (26.23) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Class 2/3 over 457m at Ascot Park. Can hit the frame with the right run. EAGLE EYE (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Was out of placings last time (26.92) at Manawatu in a Class 2/3, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Has two wins and two placings from six starts from the draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Good effort to score just a couple of days ago over 457m at Ascot Park by 2.25 lengths in a Class 2/3. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 525m. Last start finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (30.49) behind Ripslinger Ruby in a Class 3/4 on April 11. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
