Addington Race 3 - FIBER FRESH HCP PACE
ELTON J (6) resumes from a spell of 11 months after showing some very good form last campaign, closing it off with a win over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Will have plenty of admirers. MYSTERY BEACH (5) finished ninth last start, beaten 35 metres at Mt Harding over 2400m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. FOLIEJON STAR (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1980m at this track a week ago. COMMANDER BEN (1) disappointed last time out when eighth over 1609m at Mt Harding. Can do a lot better so is worth considering.

Couldn't find more when asked at Methven. Needs to reverse form slide.
