Trots ATX Addington - NZ

3-8 Addington 28Nov25 1980MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Sheree Tomlinson $11, btn 2.7m, wnr Macho Man , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Is a lightly-raced filly who produced a career-best effort when third at this track over 1980m last start. Further improvement could see her break the ice.

1-4 Ashburton Raceway 01Dec25 1700SS Trail Amber Lethaby won by 2nd MISS GRACIE , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has had two runs this prep without filling a placing, the latest effort a eighth at Rangiora over 2600m, beaten 60 metres. Should be at peak fitness and can turn things around.

2-10 Geraldine 06Dec25 1950SS $13,510 NON-WINNERS 3U Robbie Close $2, btn 3.8m, wnr D J's Gamble , 2:10.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Is going along well with placings at his last three starts, the latest a second at Geraldine over 1950m. Has been close to breaking through and gets his chance this time.

5-8 Addington 28Nov25 1980MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS 3U C B Ford $6, btn 21.6m, wnr Macho Man , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Crowded by an outside runner racing into the first bend.

Finished third two starts back at Rangiora then missed the frame last time out over 1980m at this track. Sure to be in the mix.

2-8 Addington 28Nov25 1980MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Seth Hill $3, btn 1.4m, wnr Macho Man , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke in the score up however was in position at the start. Broke again near the 1500m losing ground.

Is an honest gelding with very close seconds at his last two appearances, the latest over 1980m at this track two weeks ago. Racing well and can go one better.

7-8 Addington 28Nov25 1980MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS 3U John Versteeg $51, btn 43.5m, wnr Macho Man , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Switched to a pace leaving the pre-race formation losing considerable ground. Raced wide from the 1200m. Weakened near the 500m.

Easily accounted for last time when 45 metres from the winner in seventh over 1980m at this track. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
