Addington Race 7 - IRT SIRES' STAKES SERIES 2YO CHAMPIONSHIP (MBL TROT)
DUKE OF BOURBON (9) is really delivering now and comes here off back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance including the Harness Million. Has beaten most of these rivals in those wins so only needs to hold his form and got everything right and he can land the hat trick. EYES WIDE OPEN (8) kicked off his career with back to-back wins at this circuit and distance before chasing DUKE OF BOURBON as runner-up in the last two outings. Draws wide but it is hard to knock anything he has done so far and there looks to be plenty of upside there. Big chance to turn the tables as is MASTER MCGOOGAN (1) who is a reliable young trotter who has been consistent in putting together a string of wins and placings and he should get every chance from the inside draw. MR MERCEDES (7) has ground to make up on the top three through his last-start fourth and he cops a wider draw but he won in good style at Ashburton prior so may be capable of better.
