12-13 Addington 04Apr26 1980MS $25,438 R51 TO R70 3U John Dunn btn 33.8m, wnr Taketheplunge , 1:57.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hung outwards and paced roughly in the early stages. Raced wide until being restrained to the rear of the field near the 1400m. Weakened over the concluding stages.

Ran below par last time when 12th over 1980m at this track but his form prior to that run was sound. Has a low draw and is a leading player.

8-11 Addington 24Apr26 2000SS $17,685 R40 TO R50 4U Jim Curtin $39, btn 20.8m, wnr Moonlite Blood , 1:59.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start eighth over 2000m at this track, beaten 20 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

9-13 Addington 19Apr26 2600SS $15,263 R41 TO R54 4U Matthew Williamson $14, btn 30.8m, wnr The Coalman , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Has been struggling of late and finished ninth last start over 2600m at this track. Seemingly has forgotten how to win so others preferred.

5-11 Addington 24Apr26 2000SS $17,685 R40 TO R50 4U Sarah O'reilly $15, btn 16.2m, wnr Moonlite Blood , 1:59.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Saluted three back but has been safely held since, last start finishing fifth at this track and beaten 16 metres. Others rate better.

5-9 Addington 17Apr26 1980MS $17,529 R47 TO R51 3U Tim Williams $9, btn 14.9m, wnr Take The Miki , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returned to winning form two back but was safely held last start, finishing fifth and beaten 14 metres over 1980m at this track. In the mix on the form from two back.

6-7 Rangiora 26Apr26 2600SS $22,813 R51 Darnika Williams $30, btn 36.7m, wnr Bruntwood Brigade , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was sixth at Rangiora over 2600m last start after filling a minor placing at this track two starts back. Among the leading players.

7-11 Addington 24Apr26 2000SS $17,685 R40 TO R50 4U Riley Harrison $6, btn 20.5m, wnr Moonlite Blood , 1:59.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was racing well before a last start seventh at this track over 2000m. Should be in the finish.

2-3 Oamaru 28Apr26 2000SS Trail Graeme Telfer btn 0.3m, wnr SALUTE , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last raced four-and-a-half months ago when fourth at this track. Has since placed in a trial at Oamaru. Likely to measure up.

7-11 Addington 10Apr26 1980MS $18,668 R46 TO R60 3U John Morrison $7, btn 7.6m, wnr Diamonds Are Forever , 1:58.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Ran second two starts back at this track then was safely held last time in seventh over 1980m at this track. Sure to improve on the latest effort.

4-13 Addington 19Apr26 2600SS $15,263 R41 TO R54 4U John Morrison $14, btn 13.2m, wnr The Coalman , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continued a long run without winning when fourth at this track over 2600m last time out. Can make amends.
