Addington Race 3

BRECKON FARMS - CHECK OUT OUR 2026 DRAFT MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

CANDY CANE (3) registered a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 2600m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and she can take this out. BETTER BE QUICK (8) finished sixth last start over 1980m at this track, beaten 12 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1980m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and she can play a big role. SCOTLYNN CRUNCH (7) is flying at present with two successive wins to her name, most recently at this track eight days ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. CHEER THE CAPTAIN (5) disappointed last time when ninth over 1980m at this track. Can turn things around.
