Gore Race 3 - MACCA LODGE NZ KINDERGARTEN STAKES PRELUDE (MOBILE PACE)
FANFARE (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1980m at Addington, finishing second and just half a metre from the winner. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. MAX VERSTAP (5) is at the track for the first time. By Captain Crunch and hails from the Brett Gray stable. Has strong trial form coming into this. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. ON YA BIKE (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1980m at Addington last time out. CAPTAIN WOLF (2) is a two-year-old gelding from the Tony Stratford stable on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win and makes plenty of appeal.

Brings proven form with his Addington 2nds. Should take plenty of catching.
