Addington Race 9 - MAJESTIC HORSE FLOATS PACE
STRIKEM (5) resumes from a spell after finishing ninth at his latest appearance at this track on November 12. Has the talent to take care of this field. SHADOW OF THE MOON (2) is a five-year-old gelding from the Bob Butt yard on debut. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the right credentials to play a major role. WHATZ MY CHOICE (7) was beaten 4.5 metres on debut last start over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Has plenty of scope for improvement. MYSTERY BEACH (6) last appeared when tenth over 1980m at this track four-and-a-half months ago. Expecting a better effort to kick off this prep.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 4th (Fr8) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 4.5 m by Rakasandy (2:50.80) in 3yo+ on March 8 at $4.90. Has to contend with an awkward draw but is a likely improver.
