3 Arafura <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

In a race that <\/span>wasn\u2019t<\/span> really run to suit her usual pattern, Arafura (3) was simply awesome here a fortnight ago first up from a spell. Trainer reports <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> gone up another level since and with only a small field of rivals to tackle, <\/span>you\u2019d<\/span> expect her to be delivering once again. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Addington Harness Race 2<\/div>\n
10 Request <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Plenty to like about the late work from Request (10) here two weeks ago behind the <\/span>very talented<\/span> Marikit. Made up a stack of ground and was strong through the line. Better set up here and if she can run up to her best in this field then <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> the one they all need to beat. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

The talented Scoundrel (3) lived up to his name here on debut when he threw away a victory in the shadows of the post for no good reason. Was home and hosed too. Clearly a bit to learn but boy <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> got a big <\/span>motor<\/span> and they might roll along a bit here which will suit him. Can have the final say.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

Don\u2019t<\/span> mind the <\/span>different set<\/span> up here tonight for Giorgio Denario (8). Yes, he was beaten last week when a short-priced <\/span>fave<\/span>, but he was beaten for speed by <\/span>Stumblin<\/span> In. Might be his turn to use the speed and stay out of it early and with the right kind of luck can storm past them all. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Plenty shown in the first campaign here in NZ by Tetrick (7<\/span>)<\/span> but you knew that the second campaign was going to be even better with more time on his side. Two great trials to prepare and if he turns up in the right mindset and trots the entire then <\/span>he\u2019ll<\/span> be <\/span>awfully hard<\/span> to beat tonight. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

1 Easton Doll <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A filly of top quality, Easton Doll (1) has been so good in her career to date and has really <\/span>emerged<\/span> as one who could go on to compete against the best of the best in the age group. Nice set up here with her early speed and if she controls things in front then <\/span>she\u2019ll<\/span> likely win<\/span> again. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

He\u2019s<\/span> a raw talent Duke <\/span>Of<\/span> Bourbon (7) but <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> got a lot still to learn about the game and this trip south will really help with that. No surprise to see him step out tonight and give them a trotting lesson his motor is that big, but <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> a risky play given his liking for doing the odd thing wrong.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Great to have the star back on the track and while <\/span>he\u2019ll<\/span> improve with racing, the high speed of Marketplace (6) has him winning this race nine times out of 10, no matter where he lands. Looked sharp in his trial and a good bit of work her last week too. <\/span>Big things<\/span> ahead and this is just the start.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Huge run here fresh up in the Ordeal Cup from Habiti Pat (6) and <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> only going to be better for it. Worked on a couple of occasions during the running and was still right there at the finish. <\/span>Perhaps an<\/span> easier lead on offer tonight and if she can ramp things up and make it hard for those off marks then <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> a big winning hope. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

The leading light in the <\/span>very good<\/span> crop of three-year-olds, <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> got to come off the wide draw but his class, irrelevant of the stage of the preparation has him <\/span>awfully hard<\/span> to beat here. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Superb filly Cherish Me (3) kicks off her new campaign here tonight and off the back of a very sharp Ashburton trial a few weeks back, plus another quiet one, she looks ready to rock and roll. Will land in front by design here and with her own terms might be a little too good for this field, despite <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> depth. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
