Addington Race 1 - TAB 2ND & 3RD BONUS CASH BACK MOBILE PACE

FRANCO EZRA (1) scored by 1.4 metres at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m last start at his first run back from a spell. No excuses from this advantageous draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is fitter for that last hit-out and good enough to take this out. ESMARELDA (8) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 30 metres from the winner in third over 1980m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to prove tough to beat. TAKETHEPLUNGE (9) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1980m. HUGO (2) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Three-year-old colt who is racing well. Solid first up, won by 1.4 m as favourite (Fr2) at Ashburton Raceway (2:03.80) beating Beaudiene Always B in 3yo+ on May 11 at $1.80. Rates highly and looks hard to beat again.

Returns after five months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth behind Winnyzback at Omakau over 2000m on January 2 at $5.80. Previous preparation first-up won by 3.5 m as favourite (Fr8) at Oamaru (2:35.20) beating The Next Best Thing in 3yo+ on December 11 at $2.70. Has never been out of the placings when resuming and is expected to prove very hard to stop.

Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1980m at this track beaten 30 m by Beach Day (2:23.50) in 3yo+ on May 23 at $31.20. Two runs back posted a big 4 m win (Fr5) at Manawatu (3:09.40) beating Kevin Kline in 3yo+ on May 1 at $5.90. Might find this a bit tough.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Akatea at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on May 23 at $15.50. Raced better the start before that where she won by 14 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (3:11.80) beating Action Major in on May 2 at $1.80. Capable of playing a major role.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.4 m second behind Beach Day at this track over 1980m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres fourth again at this track over 2600m in on May 2. Likely to measure up.
