Addington Race 9 - THE FRIENDS OF THE JOHN PAUL II CENTRE FOR LIFE MOBILE PACE

CANDY CANE (4) finished half a metre from the winner in second at this track over 1980m last start as the favourite in what was her first career run. Well placed to take this race out. BETTER BE QUICK (7) registered another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1980m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ASIAN JOKER (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2600m at Oamaru last time out. Well worth an each-way ticket. LONGVIEW TUI (1) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 4.5 metres into second at Rangioray.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m second behind Smoking Ashes at Rangiora over 2000m last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres third at this track over 1980m in 3yo+ FM on August 15. One of the chances.

Last start 2nd (Fr4) over 2000m at Oamaru beaten 3.5 m by Captain Cool (2:26.10) in 3yo+ on August 17 at $42.80. Two runs back 4th (Fr6) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway beaten 10 m by Kowhai Star (2:04.10) in 3yo+ FM on August 10 at $17.50. Building well after 4 starts this time in. Seeking cover from inside draw. Sneaky chance.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr6) over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 22 m by Captain Cool (2:26.10) in 3yo+ on August 17 at $9.60. Not keen.
