Addington Extra Race 1

2026 KINGSTON CUP FINAL

Prize Money: $18,182

CHIEF DRIBBLE (4) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in 13 starts, including 11 wins and two placings. Recorded a 8 length win (39.88) in a Class 2/3 last time at this track. Best staying dog in this field and rates on top. LITTLE DODO (5) latest effort finished 4th over 755m at Wanganui beaten 11 lengths (45.15) behind CHIEF DRIBBLE in a Class 2/3 H on April 10. Relishes the extreme journey and will be running home stronger than most. Looks one of the chances. ADOBE RAVE (3) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 8 lengths (40.48). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Place chance again. ADOBE VIDEL (7) generally performs well from this box. Include behind the top pick.

Easy winner to post a big 8 lengths victory in a Class 2/3 last start at this track, clocking a slick 39.88 over the 681m trip. Flying lately and can score again.
