Addington Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
4 Giorgio Denario <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Decent enough slide back in grade tonight for the talented but capable Giorgio Denario (4). He\u00a0<\/span>wasn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0bad behind the big guns last week and will only be getting better with racing too. Draw to use here and\u00a0<\/span>don\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0be surprised to see him look to control this from the outset.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Great to see the\u00a0<\/span>very talented<\/span>\u00a0Dash Dosh (8) back on track at Addington after her Australian campaign. High speed mare who while facing a task from the wide draw, might get a drag into it at the right time and with a cold shot would\u00a0<\/span>likely be<\/span>\u00a0too quick for\u00a0<\/span>all of<\/span>\u00a0her rivals here.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

Unseen since his very brave run in the Kurow Cup at the start of August, J T Boe (8) returns here tonight and can get straight back into his winning ways too. Needs to step, but plenty of room to work with and if able to get onto the speed at some\u00a0<\/span>point<\/span>\u00a0then will take all sorts of holding out.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A massive performance at Oamaru last weekend from Dynasty (13) in what was a quality field of trotting mares. Only bettered late by\u00a0<\/span>a very good<\/span>\u00a0one. This is easier and if she can stalk and then work into\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span>\u00a0then\u00a0<\/span>they\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0be hard pressed trying to stop her from winning.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Tracking beautifully toward this challenge and\u00a0<\/span>comes up with<\/span>\u00a0the right kind of draw to get onto the top end and make it her own.
