Addington Race 1

THE PENINSULAR BEACHFRONT RESORT MOBILE PACE

Stake: $16,000

MIKI FLYBYE (7) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance, finishing second over 1980m at this track. Has the talent to take care of this field. FOREVER DREAM (6) resumes here after closing her last prep with a ninth at this track on November 29. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. ROCKINGOOD (5) must be considered after he finished third over 1980m at this track a week ago. BANKSY (4) cannot be ruled out after breaking his maiden status three-and-a-half weeks ago over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway when well supported.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Akatea at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on May 23 at $19.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Franco Ezra at this track over 1980m in a 4yo+ on June 13 at $4.90. Nice effort last time. Solid top-three prospects.
