Ashburton Race 4

Mckain Quality Builders (2Yo C&G) Mobile Pace

Stake: $12,000

BETTOR GO VINNIE (7) resumes after finishing tenth at his latest appearance at Ascot Park Raceway on October 10. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets some better types this time but a win is on the cards. MOONSHINER (5) lines up for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the J C Hay stable. Makes plenty of appeal. CARRERA BANDIDO (4) finished 80 metres back in 12th over 1980m at Addington on debut 11 weeks ago. Watch for a better run at the first run back. ZOOM X (2) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1980m at Addington on December 13.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1980m at Addington beaten 17 m by La Concha (2:28.40) in 2yo on December 13 at $15.60. At the start before 4th (Fr4) over 1980m at Addington, beaten 14 m by Artful Bromac (2:25.80) in 2yo on December 6 at $8.20. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

Resuming after ten weeks off the scene. Ran only once last campaign running when well beaten into tenth behind Tomcat at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m in a 2yo+ on October 10 at $2.90. Very hard to beat.
