Addington Selections October 8, 2025
Best bet: R2 Bannockburn
Best Value: R4 Million Dollar Chic
Race 1
Bad Annabella (9) Decent second her last start. Should be top three running with manners
Alotoftrouble (6) Running at the last start. Should get a good account again with no errors
Mister (8) Getting better at racing and just needing a faster start to the finish. Post the opportunity
Race 2
Bannockburn (5) Did too much work here for the last start and easier here. Top selection in this field
Tuppence (3) Has early speed to be one of the leaders and will be fitter. Winning claims here
Willy Away (2) Improving from his last start and hasn’t had much luck. Top three chance here
Race 3
Artful BROMAC (6) Ran home well, late on the last start and a similar pitch here. Good run expected
Ultimate advice (8) Fast beginner and a threat to the favorite with a good run in transit
Seaside Pond (2) Better effort last start and better drawing. Could sneak into the top three with luck
Race 4
Million Dollar Chic (3) Better sign for this and have bad luck. Should be included in this area
Lorton Vale (8) Has the finishing speed and handles the court well. Should give good account again
Belmont Valor (10) Out of form but improver with a place on longer chances without mistakes
.
Race 5
Elton J (4) Back to Grit will suit him better here. Hard to hold out when he finds the front. Necessary
Emma Swan (5) Had apologies for the last start and posted well here. Good any way to give this a chance
Ultimate Termination (7) Will be fitter after the last start. Wide draw but good enough to make it too much too much
Race 6
Shadow Creek (1) Good against a tougher field last start. Hard to beat if he stays handy
Quiet career (11) Running at the last start. Winning claims with a cart in it. Involve
Art Robyns (9) Good victory last start but in the class and broadly drawn here. Post the opportunity
Race 7
Miss Gracie (6) This has been refreshed, but will need manners. At her best this would come close
Brianna (9) Tricky Draw, but good beginner who might race close to speed. Winning claims
Lindy’s Rocket (4) Only fought last start, but is a top three chance in this field. Worths included
Race 8
Mystery Creek (3) Respect around the combination of the trainer driver and well tested. Can win on debut
Bruciebytheseaside (6) Decent engine and OK tests. One of the better opportunities with the right trip
Crunched (8) Good run last start and fitter now. Will continue to improve here and give hope
Race 9
Don’t tell Jenny (6) Good last last start and can improve that here. Wide draw but can win
Lily’s A Star (5) Decent engine and in shape. Has gate speed and can advance early here. Involve
Gladys Greenland (9) Paint and at its best would be a threat in this area. One for longer opportunities
