Verdict

TROUBLESHOOTER (3) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 45 metres into 13th at Ashburton Raceway over 1 ¹/16m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up and she can figure in the finish. MOUTON CADET (5) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 20 metres into 12th at Ashburton Raceway over 1 ¹/16m. Ideally drawn and is sure to prove tough to beat. ART JORDAN (2) disappointed last time when ninth over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Can turn things around. HERE COMES MARTY (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1 ¼m at Rangiora on August 23.

5	Last start was well beaten into twelfth behind Suspicious Captain at Ashburton Raceway over 1 ¹/16m in a 3yo+ on August 30 at $73.50. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1 ¼m at Rangiora, beaten 7 m by Monkee Major (2:34.00) on August 23 at $10.50. Well-placed and should improve sharply. 2nd Pick 5 Mouton Cadet Jockey: Mia Holbrough Trainer: Bruce Negus J: Mia Holbrough T: Bruce Negus	75	-	-	-	17%	5/1

The start before 5th (Fr4) over 1m at Addington beaten 18 m by Royal Belle (3:15.00) in 4yo+ on August 14 at $23.40.
