Addington Race 3

ALLIED SECURITY MOBILE PACE

Stake: $8,000

DIDJASHOUTTHEBAR (1) worked home well in his latest outing on the grass and performed well the last time he raced here three back, coming from a deeper draw for fourth. Starts from the pegs and should get his chance from there. MILLWOOD GODDESS (5) is going better than her form may suggest and she was slugged with a very wide barrier last time. Starts closer to the pegs and could show a lot more. HE'S TOUGH (9) is capable of playing a role in a race like this if things go his way from the wider barrier while THE HIGHLANDER (6) had no luck from the back row last time so is worth another chance.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 10th (Fr8) over 2000m at Rangiora well beaten by Terrormylove (2:30.50) in 4yo+ on March 30 at $47. The start before 8th (Fr4) over 1980m at this track, beaten 40 m by Ann Sophie (2:29.40) on March 19 at $6.40. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
