Addington Race 4 - EXPERIENCE THE THRILL AT ADDINGTON HANDICAP TROT

DIDN'T DI (7) has been racing well in higher-graded events at this circuit and distance, clocking in second two back and fourth last start. Looks nicely placed so could break through. Hard to knock the form of THE ROYAL GAMBLE (13) who won three back at this circuit and distance and has finished runner-up in both outings since. Goes back 10m in the handicap but can make an impact again. THE RIVER BOY (2) has had three runs this campaign without finishing in the top three and manners let him down last time but he is building in fitness. Favoured by this starting position and is a player if he puts it together. MILES AWAY (10) is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to come from this mark for second at Phar Lap Raceway.
