Addington Race 10 - GOLD BAND TAXIS MBL PACE
IRISH DREAM (1) Ran 4th last run at this venue. Expecting improvement and gets a favourable draw. Performing honestly this campaign. Hard to dismiss. QUICKER THAN QUICK (8) Looked good when 2nd last time at Ashburton and showing improvement in recent outings. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. HENRY WINKLER (6) Ran 4th last run at this venue. Looking past the last run. Not out of this. FLYING ACE (7) Was ordinary when 9th last time around here. Could go well at this level.

Not at his sharpest 22 May, but 2nds prior are a great pointer. Right in this.
