Addington Race 2

IRT. YOUR HORSE. OUR PASSION. MBL PACE

Prize Money: -

MAJOR LAZARUS (3) was in the money at Oamaru two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 35 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he can play a big role. LAST HONOURS (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in third over 1980m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. MISSING IN ACTION (2) last appeared when fifth over 1980m at this track 11 months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. KHE SANH (9) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1980m.
