Decent step back in grade for Clonakilty (1) here today after taking on some pretty smart fields up at Addington in recent runs. Lands the ace draw and gets Carter in the bike which is another big tick. Should be able to hold up from the inside, but a trip in the trail\u00a0<\/span>isn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0the worst result either.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
