Addington Race 4 - RICOH CANTERBURY PLAINS CHALLENGE (HEAT 7) MOBILE PACE
NORMIE STEAD (8) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he finished 8 metres away in third over 2600m at Rangiora. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Primary contender in a similar race. DIDJASHOUTTHEBAR (6) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing tenth at his latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 15 metres. Primary contender if he is at his best. BETTERWITHBLING (7) is better than his last-start ninth over 2600m at this track. THE HIGHLANDER (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1980m at this track on April 30.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Hey Tonight at this track over 1980m in a 5yo+ on April 21 at $6.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Flying For Me at Rangiora over 2600m in a 5yo+ on April 27 at $4.70. Will give a good account.
