Addington Race 10 - GOLD BAND TAXIS MOBILE PACE
ESMARELDA (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5.5 metres from the winner in third over 1980m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. THE COALMAN (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in fourth over 2400m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. JACK TAR (2) is close to a winning run after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1980m at this track. Great chance to break through. ACTION MAJOR (3) has a good record at this circuit and distance. Go well fresh.

Solid run when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Taketheplunge at this track over 2600m in a 4yo+ on April 6 at $20.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Watching Brief at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 19 at $20.50. Great chance to salute from the more favourable draw.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following April 15 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.5 m (Sr1) at this track (2:28.90) beating Red Wine Kisses in 3yo+ on April 21 at $19.70. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen this time.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Tact Teena at Mt Harding over 2300m in a 4yo+ on April 13 at $10.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Dancing Desire at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ FM on April 25 at $14.30. Sure to be there at the business end.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last time. Won by a 0.5 m (U1) at this track (3:15.10) beating Topaz in 4yo+ on April 19 at $16. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourteenth behind Hi Hopes at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 11 at $25. Might find this beyond her.
