Addington Race 2 - CONTINENTAL EVENT HIRE MOBILE PACE
SWEET GUINESS (6) is a four-year-old son of Sweet Lou making his debut for the Greg and Ben Hope stable. Has taken a while to get to the races but has shown ability at the trials and finds a winnable assignment first up. HEAVEN'S MARK (8) didn't have the best of luck when in traffic first up so was far from disgraced in finishing midfield. Draws wide but will strip fitter so is open to improvement. JUSTA RIPPA (5) is building towards a win and there was merit in the last effort here when he placed after racing wide. This could be his chance to break through. SMOKING ASHES (9) starts from the unruly again but did well to finish second from there last start. Winning chance if the penny drops. SHADOW OF THE MOON (3) draws well and will be fitter for a solid fourth when resuming from the back row.
