Addington Race 5

DONAGHYS PROEQUINE HANDICAP PACE

Stake: $12,281

WOODBINE ROCKS (9) ran ninth last start at Oamaru over 3000m, beaten 25 metres. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MAJOR HIPSTER (7) was in the money two runs ago then was about the mark again last time over 2000m at Oamaru, finishing 5 metres from the winner in third. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. FITZTHEBILL (8) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 3000m at Oamaru two weeks ago. DAVE DULEY (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Last start 7th (Fr9) over 2600m at this track beaten 18 m by Malakai (3:13.00) in 3yo+ on March 28 at $11. At his previous start 5th (Fr1) over 2170m at Motukarara beaten 8 m by She's Tough (2:47.30) in 3yo+ on March 16 at $3.50. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Solid run when a close second behind Blue Rock Dancer at Reefton over 2500m in a 4yo+ on March 9 at $39.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Classie Linc at Oamaru over 2000m in a 3yo+ on March 23 at $6.20. Will be right in the thick of things.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr5) over 3000m at Oamaru, beaten 25 m by She's Tough (3:58.60) on March 23 at $12.30. The run previous 9th (Fr2) over 3200m at Ashburton Raceway well beaten by Dance Till Dawn (3:57.20) on February 22 at $27.30. Certainly worth another chance.

Didn't do much at the last run, 13th (FrU2) over 2500m at Reefton, beaten 40 m by Sinai Sermon (3:15.20) on March 9 at $35.30. Before that 7th (FrU1) over 2600m at Patterson Park, beaten 19 m by Tempo Warrior (3:20.20) on March 7 at $20.60. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
