Addington Race 9

MID WINTER CHRISTMAS AVAILABLE NOW AT ADDINGTON.CO.NZ PACE

Stake: $16,000

OCEAN OF TEARS (14) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 4.5 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. WHATZ MY CHOICE (13) was without a win before he improved last start to score by 2.5 metres over 2000m at this track a week ago. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. MAJOR TORQUE (2) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 2000m at this track. Great chance to break through. FOVEAUX GAMBLER (1) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1980m.

Two back was well beaten into twelfth behind Miki Bennett at this track over 1980m in a 5yo+ on May 7 at $24.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Destiny Dance at this track over 1980m in a 4yo+ on May 14 at $4.40. Expected to go well again.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Elektra King at this track over 2600m in a 3yo+ on May 23 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Miki Bennett at this track over 2000m in a 4yo+ on May 30 at $3.20. In fine form. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Last start 8th (Fr4) over 2000m at this track, beaten 13 m by Miki Bennett (2:30.50) in 4yo+ on May 30 at $64.40. Two runs back 9th (Fr9) over 2000m at Rangiora, beaten 35 m by Playing With Stars (2:30.10) in 4yo+ on April 27 at $22.10. This looks too tough.

Last start 7th (10m 5) over 2600m at Rangiora beaten 14 m by Blue Rock Dancer (3:17.90) in 3yo+ on May 4 at $12.50. Two runs back won by a neck (Fr2) at Rangiora (2:30.00) beating Anytime At All in 4yo+ on April 27 at $13. This looks a far sterner task.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Miki Bennett at Rangiora over 2000m in a 4yo+ on May 18 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Miki Bennett at this track over 2000m in a 4yo+ on May 30 at $49.30. Should be there at the business end.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Waikaka at Rangiora over 2000m in a 3yo+ on May 18 at $7.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Super Fund at Phar Lap Raceway over 2050m in a 3yo+ on May 25 at $5.20. Among the better chances.
