Course: Addington

Surface: All weather

We've been disappointing so far this week but get another chance today with some tough racing predicted with great fields again for Show Day. Let's hope we can salute the tote a bit more on Friday.


 
Race 2 [12:33pm] MACCA LODGE 'SOUTH OF THE WAITAKI' MOBILE PACE  $30,000, 3YO & OLDER C1 TO C2, 1950m   
 
#12 Rakarolla. Represents a sound each-way bet given the way he races which is tough and fighting. The speed will no doubt be on here. A nice hit out last week sees him ready for this fresh. Each-way claims.  2nd $2.20
 
Race 3 [1:02pm] PENINSULAR BEACHFRONT RESORT 'MOOLOOLABA' HANDICAP TROT  $20,000, 5YO & OLDER C4 TO OC SPECIAL, 2600m

#4 Le Lievre's Gift. I'm prepared to give her another go today as she galloped when looking likely to lead on Tuesday. This is a tougher field though so I need a quote of around $13-15 to get interested.  4th
 
Race 4 [1:37pm] GRAPHITE DEVELOPMENTS SHOW DAY FUTURITY MOBILE PACE  $32,000, 4YO & OLDER C0 TO C3, 2600m   

#12 Rocknroll Legend. Looks hard to roll if he's able to get any sort of cart into things here. Showed with his last win that he possesses a great turn of foot and is versatile enough to be able to work and still be a factor. 2nd $1.40
 
Race 5 [2:12pm] METALCRAFT ROOFING HANDICAP PACE  $20,000, 4YO & OLDER C2 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY, 2600m   

#10 Captain Dolmio. Went a super race in a super-sonic time on Tuesday. I don't see the handicap being much of a hindrance given the small size of the field. Should give a good account of himself today. Each-way claims.  1st $2.00 1.30
 
Race 7 [3:22pm] PEEK EXHIBITION - ALF HUGHES MEMORIAL MOBILE TROT  $20,000, 4YO & OLDER C2 TO C3, 1950m   

#9 Donegal Bettorgretch. Sat parked on Tuesday but was brave in defeat and comes in a couple with the limited front line. I'd prefer her to be driven a little cold today and asked for a little bit of speed late. Each-way.  3rd $1.60
 

Race 9 [4:38pm] HARAS des TROTTEURS DOMINION TROT (STANDING START) (Gr1)  $260,000, FFA, 3200m   

#11 Monbet. You wouldn't get me taking anywhere near the $1.35 on offer at the moment but that's not to say he isn't the best horse in the race. Given the even marks the field is off he does look the one and should win all things being equal.  1st $1.40 1.20
#7 Kyvalley Blur. A good run into things on Tuesday and the distance of the Dominion should play into his strengths. Will keep going and give the Aussies something to cheer on late.  3rd $2.50
#2 Bordeaux. Impressive Kaikoura win and comes into a nice draw today. He's stepping into open class so I'd need decent place odds of around $4.00 to really get all that interested.  4th
Race 11 [5:53pm] WOODLANDS NEW ZEALAND FREE FOR ALL (MOBILE) (Gr1)  $260,000, FFA PACE, 1950m   

#5 Lazarus. Raced into the history books on Tuesday with an emphatic win in the cup. I shouldn't think that would have taken much out of him. Lazarus on repeat today.  1st $1.10 1.00
Race 12 [6:23pm] XCM SPORT MOBILE PACE  $20,000, 3YO & OLDER C1, 2600m   

#7 Vincent. Rounding off what has been another great cup week for the All Stars. A sound Tuesday run that just fell short. I think he'll relish the distance today.  1st $2.90 1.20.  Quinella $2.00
#8 Jack's Legend.  Great effort in the sires stakes final. The field lacks depth so he looms as one you need to respect.  2nd $1.10
