Addington Race 10

GOLD BAND TAXIS MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

ZARLINI (5) scored last start by 5.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1980m. Her recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. FLYING BIRD (7) finished third last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 1980m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. TAKE THE MIKI (9) could only manage tenth when resuming over 2300m at Mt Harding last start. Worth another chance. BETTER BE QUICK (4) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 2300m at Mt Harding on March 22.
