Addington selections 1st October 2025

Best Bet:  R4  Flyaway

Best Value:  R7  Playing With Stars

Race 1

Ask Me Lazarus (1) Hasn’t had a lot of luck in recent times. Will suit amateur races. Needed here
Mouton Cadet (2) Small field will help and should begin quickly. Upset claims in an even field
Just Ask Paddy (7) Disappointing last start. Goes best with one run at them. Winning claims

Race 2

Muscle Dash (5) Normally begins well and easier here. Has to be included with her manners
Wicked Annabella (9) Big motor but lacking ringcraft. Massive chance if she makes no mistakes
Mister (8) Improver from his last start and weaker field. Top three chance here at longer odds

Race 3

Street Fighter (1) Looked a run short last start. Better run expected and better draw to use
Tuppence (6) Ok last start and a threat to the favourite with a good run in transit. Include
Tallandfast (9) Good effort last start but wide draw a concern. Can sneak into the top three

Race 4

Flyaway (3) Solid finish last start and a winning chance here from the draw. Top selection in this
Courage Reactor (1) Has gate speed and goes well the track. Top driver booking adds interest
Lorton Vale (4) Only battled last start but an improver with top three claims at longer odds

.

Race 5

Carrera Tranquilo (5) Gate speed to lead if they light her up early. Top selection in this field
Emma Swan (6) Freshened and well placed here. Good chance if anywhere near her best
Style Council (9) Will be fitter after luckless run last start. Wide draw hurts but will be running on

Race 6

Diedre Franco (9) Goes well the track and nice effort last start. Hard to beat against these
Switch On (5) Manners needed but ability is there. Winning claims with no mistakes. Include
Navara (1) Due to show form and drawn well here. Should give a good account from the ace

Race 7

Playing With Stars (10) Out of form but conditions suit for this. Will need manners but can upset
Jake (1) Nice draw and good beginner. Should go close to placing in this with any luck in transit
Bettor Way (11) Good form last campaign and stable racing well. Tricky draw but top three chance
