Addington Race 9 - IRT NZ SIRES' STAKES 2YO TROTTERS PRELUDE (MOB TROT)
EYES WIDE OPEN (2) registered a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1980m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take care of this field. MASTER MCGOOGAN (4) has been excellent of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten by a neck. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. MR MERCEDES (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 10 metres at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m. DUKE OF BOURBON (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.1 metres at this track over 1980m.
