Show Day is another massive day at Addington, highlighted by the three Group 1s – the Renwick Farms Dominion Trot, the Dunstan Horse Feeds Sires’ Stakes Series Final for the 2YO Fillies, and the Airpark Canterbury NZ Pacing Free For All.
To help out Michael Guerin has selected his five of the best.
1: Muscle Mountain (R9, No.15): Adding pull-down blinds to his gear seems to have super charged his already impressive motor. Traffic looks his biggest concern.
2: Akuta (R11, No.1): The Cup runner-up looked a great chance in this and that was before Swayzee’s scratching. From one over 1980m he looks close to unbeatable and his price will reflect that.
3: Confessional (R6, No.8): The young trotter lost his concentration and punters lost their money on Tuesday. If he trots all the way he should atone. Note, the IF.
4: Coastal Babe (R7, No.2): Maybe the best filly but definitely the best drawn and the gate speed to use it. Trialled well enough last week to suggest long campaign not getting to her.
5: Amore Infidia (R3, No.8): Luckless and brave fifth behind princess of pacing Millwood Nike on Tuesday. If she has any luck will be too sharp for most of these.
