Addington Race 10

GOLD BAND TAXIS MOBILE PACE

Stake: $16,000

CAPTAIN CHRISTIAN (10) scored at the first run back from a spell last time out over 2000m at Rangiora on 18/05/2025, finishing 3 metres ahead of his rivals. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. TOBY TOM B (2) finished third last start over 1980m at this track, beaten 6 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. JACK TAR (6) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1980m at this track two weeks ago. MOUTON CADET (3) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Akatea at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on May 16 at $12.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Kotare Kelso at this track over 1980m on May 30 at $14.70. One of the key runners.
