Addington Race 2

Livamol For Yearling Sales Prep Needs Mbl Pace

Prize Money: $16,363

MIDNIGHT MIKI (1) is back today after a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Closed the last preparation in great style with a win by a neck over 1980m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Sure to be ready to run well. ALWAYS B YOU (7) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Richmond Park, beaten 7 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. DAVE DULEY (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Richmond Park a week-and-a-half ago. MAJOR HIPSTER (2) ended last prep with a ninth at Oamaru over 2000m five months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort. Include in all combinations.

Registered three wins at his last three starts. Last start won by 1.1 m (Sr1) at Phar Lap Raceway (3:15.10) beating Biggles in 4yo+ on January 8 at $5.60. Hard to leave out on current form. Will be about the money again.

Last start pulled up at Roxburgh on January 4 over 2700m. Two runs back 10th (Fr6) over 2810m at Motukarara, beaten 40 m by Tanzania (3:37.90) in 3yo+ on December 29 at $67.90. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway beaten 23 m by Kaysans Rock (2:00.10) in 3yo+ on December 22 at $19. Two runs back won by 1.1 m (Fr8) at Rangiora (2:27.20) beating Sky Rocket in 3yo+ on December 15 at $5.90. Will not find this easy. Hard to enthuse.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Sky Rocket at Richmond Park over 2400m on January 10 at $4.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Follow Your Dream at Richmond Park over 1609m in a 3yo+ on January 12 at $14.50. One of the chances.

Last start 4th (Fr8) over 1609m at Richmond Park, beaten 7 m by Follow Your Dream (1:53.80) in 3yo+ on January 12 at $4. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 2400m at Richmond Park, beaten 6 m by Sky Rocket (2:57.80) on January 10 at $5.10. Very hard to beat.
