Addington Race 7 - TYRE GENERAL BASIL DEAN FREE-FOR-ALL (MBL TROT)
HE AINT FAKIN (3) Failed to threaten last time at Winton. Should bounce back and proven runner at this trip. Brad Williamson has a high strike rate on board but coming back in trip. Rates a winning chance. MR LOVE (7) First up after a break. Really dug deep when winning last time at Alexandra Park and suited at this trip in the past. Back in trip. Winning hope. GEORGE ELIOT (2) Honest race when 3rd last run at this venue. Solid place bet prospects. BRING ON THE MUSCLE (5) Fought on well to win a tight contest last run around here but dropping back to a shorter trip. Getting better in recent performances. One of the hopes.

Swamped after setting things up last week. Tough ask here, even from the ace.
