Addington Race 6 - BETAVET PREPARE & HERBAZOLE MBL PACE
TRUMP CARD (5) made it two wins from his last four starts when he came from this barrier and scored in good style at this circuit and distance last time out. Big chance to strike again. MALAKAI (6) made an encouraging return after more than eight months when he came from a wide barrier for second to TRUMP CARD. Draws a couple of spots lower and strikes at 50 per cent when second-up so should be improved. Could turn the tables. ESMERALDA (7) was last seen at in the G1 Breeders Stakes four-and-a-half months ago and was a Listed winner earlier in the campaign. Readied with a trial win so expect a good effort to kick off this prep. AMARETTO FRANCO (4) improved for fourth from a wider barrier last time. Has won twice before when third-up so could be ready to peak.
