Addington Race 6 - CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL PARISH MBL TROT
EYES WIDE OPEN (5) faces the starter for the first time. By What The Hill and hails from the Hayden & Amanda Cullen stable. Has strong trial form coming into this. Will be right there at the business end. ROYAL MONARCH (7) is back from a break of four months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Sure to be right there at the finish. LA VENTURE (2) is in the mix at her first run since finishing runner-up over 1980m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. KINGDOM HILL (4) is a two-year-old gelding by What The Hill from Queen Kenny on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Will be ready to run a big race.

Good 2nd in 13 May qualifier. Broke mid-trial 19 Jun though. Rough odds.

Sprinting well when she broke 19 Aug trials. Not bombproof, but could stun.
