ADDINGTON, Friday Sept 29
R2 – RUTHLESS SUCCESS (15, fr. 2600m stand) Laura McKay – “She has been racing pretty honestly as suaul. Would have been nice to get a front row draw with her in this race and the back row does make it tougher. She will run on better than most.”
R4 – JOEY MAGUIRE (11, fr. 2600m mobile) Laura McKay – “He’s been going really good races. A draw would have helped, but in a juniors race quite often a poor draw can become a good one so we’ll take our luck. Capable of finishing top three with the right run.”
R7 – WHITTAKER (1, fr. 2600m stand) Sam Ottley -“It’s good to have him back, no in a ideal race under the ratings but nice to have him on track again. His two trials have been pleasing and I expect a good run without being able to say he can beat these tougher older types.”
R8 – MANINTHEMIRROR (8, fr. 1950m mobile) Sam Ottley -“He’s going really well but up against a stronger maiden field this week and he may well be tested, especially given the wider draw. Hoping for some luck to finish top four there.”
R9 – MICHELLE (U3, fr. 2600m stand) Sam Ottley -“Undoubtedly she has the talent. I’m perhaps just not quite as happy leading into this one and she can have a wee break after this race. If she trots all the way we know she’s good enough to trouble them.”
R10 – THE BUS (8, fr. 2000m stand) Sam Ottley -“He looks our best chance on the night to win if he can step well in his first standing start race. I expect him to go away. He is racing well and should win another soon, maybe this week.”
Sam Ottley will team up with the Jones team again in these colours (Whittaker)
