Addington Race 8 - THERMO KING HANDICAP TROT

GOLD BULLION (13) did a good job to finish second when returning from a break at this track two runs ago before a modest eighth at his latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 35 metres. Has the class to find the winners' list. CORMORAN STRIKE (11) was successful last start by 2.5 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 2600m. Recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. SANDFLY BAY (4) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by a neck at Rangiora over 2000m when sent out at long odds. THE ROYAL GAMBLE (10) must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 2600m.

Last start 9th (Fr1) over 1980m at this track, beaten 45 m by Muscle Mountain (2:25.50) in 3yo+ on August 22 at $40.30. Two runs back won by a 0.8 m (Fr6) at this track (2:29.50) beating Atlantic City in 3yo+ on August 1 at $17.90. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (10m 2) over 2600m at this track, beaten 22 m by Confessional (3:18.70) in 3yo+ on August 22 at $31.10. Before that 5th (Fr3) over 2600m at this track beaten 23 m by Love N The Port (3:15.00) in 3yo+ on August 8 at $30.30. Finds a few better. Others make more appeal.
