Addington Race 8

Gold Band Taxis Mobile Trot

Prize Money: $14,545

MARTHA STUART (5) turned in yet another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. HIGH INTENSITY (7) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when she finished well back after breaking at the start. She returns to a mobile start and can figure in the top 3 despite a wide gate. CRAZY N LOVE (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m. Genuine threat. WHAT THE BELL (9) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2400m at Waterlea last time out.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Mm Sunshine at Rangiora over 2600m on January 1 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Lotus Franco at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m in a FM on January 14 at $9.30. Nice effort last time. Hard to beat.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 12th (FrU1) over 2400m at Waterlea well beaten by Bullit Train (3:15.50) on January 19 at $5.60. The start before pulled up at Waterlea on January 17 over 2400m. Worth another chance. Can make amends.

Didn't do much last time out, 11th (Sr2) over 1980m at this track well beaten by George Eliot (2:27.90) in 3yo+ on December 6 at $131.30. Before that 8th (Fr8) over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 19 m by Ready Set Jet (2:37.40) on November 23 at $28. Hard to make a case.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Two back was well beaten into second behind Mm Sunshine at Waterlea over 2400m on January 17 at $6.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Bullit Train at Waterlea over 2400m on January 19 at $3.90. One of the chances.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh behind Sunny Louis at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m in a 3yo+ on December 22 at $7.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Mm Sunshine at Rangiora over 2600m on January 1 at $3.90. Bright prospects again.

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 0.5 m by Barrytown (2:06.40) in CGH on January 14 at $6.50. Decent effort last start. Should be in the mix again.
