Addington Race 10 - GOLD BAND TAXIS MOBILE PACE

KEEP SMILING (4) finished second last start, beaten 23 metres at this track over 1980m. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. CAPTAIN LAWLESS (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1980m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and she is a strong winning hope. SMOKING ASHES (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fifth at this track over 1980m. READY TO DREAM (1) ended last prep with a seventh at this track over 1980m five-and-a-half months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Here Comes Marty at this track over 1980m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten a neck second again at this track in 3yo+ FM on July 11. Overdue a win and gets her chance.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Bettor Than Lizzy at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ FM on July 4 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Arden Seascape at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ FM on July 18 at $4.60. One of the primary contenders.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1980m at this track beaten 7 m by Desert Dancer (2:27.00) in 3yo+ on August 1 at $4.40. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m fifth behind Here Comes Marty at this track over 1980m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at this track over 2600m same class on July 11. One of the better chances. Ready to win.
