Addington Race 6 - COMMODORE HOTEL HANDICAP PACE
LONNEKERS (5) continued his good form when he came from the back row for third at this venue last week. He should enjoy the return to a standing start having recorded two wins and a placing from his previous three outings under those conditions. Big chance. THE COALMAN (7) came from this mark to win the last time he attempted at a standing start and has been close-up in both outings since. Major player. HENRY WINKLER (3) was runner-up from the stand two back at Ashburton before winning behind the mobile here last week. He is right in contention again. PERAKI SEELSTER (6) must be respected after returning to the stand and winning last start at Ashburton.
