Addington Race 3 - WOODLANDS STUD - ALL STAR FIVE MBL PACE
CRUNCHY GRANOLA (4) ran fifth last start at Phar Lap Raceway over 2050m, beaten 5.5 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. CULTURE VULTURE (1) is a three-year-old gelding from the Andrew Stuart yard on debut. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has strong trial form coming into this. Has the right credentials to play a major role. RISE N SHINE (11) last appeared when fourth over 1980m at this track 13 months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. BONJOUR MIKI (10) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1980m at this track.
