Kyle Cameron with "bit of hope" at Addington today

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk

Kyle Cameron doesn't know what to expect at Addington today.

The Fernside-based trainer-driver will take two of his own to the races in Style Council (R1) and  Special Edition (R5) and also drive Natives Inferno (R2), Prince Teka (R4) and Hez A Loch (R7).

"You could easily see a few of them run in three or none of them run in three," says Cameron, "but at least we've got a bit of hope."

In Race 1, the Diamond Racing Lot 54 Shares Available Mobile Pace, Style Council will be driven by Blair Wilmott in the Amateur Drivers' race, after a last start third at Motukarara on February 15.

"There are plenty of horses who have won plenty of races in that race, "says Cameron, "it's a bit of a lottery though he is a live chance."

In the next Cameron links up with a "real head-scratcher" in Natives Inferno for trainer Austin Thornton.

"He came out travelling last week and broke," says Cameron.

That was at Motukarara on February 15.

"If he could put in a clean round he'd be a winning chance."

"But it's a big 'if'!"

Taking on start number 224 is 10-year-old Prince Teka for trainer Gerard McCrea in Race, Diamond Racing Lot 90 Shares Available Mobile Trot.  

Cameron is his regular driver.

"He'll get on the speed and he's not out of that race."

"He doesn't have the speed he had three years ago but he can still run overall time but just can't sprint," says Cameron, "any cheque would be a good one with him."

Cameron is not hopeful about Special Edition's chances in Race 5, the ownthethrill.co.nz Check It Out Mobile Pace, after drawing the outside of the front line over 1980 metres.

"She's drawn nine and that makes life tough for her, she'll need a lot of luck."

In Race 7, the Diamondracing.co.nz Proven Winners Pace Cameron will drive Hez A Loch for his father Ian. A winner at Methven two starts ago he will make his first appearance on the grit.

"I'll be looking for one run and see if he can show what he showed at Methven," says Cameron, "last time at Mot (Feb 15) he felt good but I made a mid race move to sit parked and it didn't suit him."

Addington's eight race midweek programme starts at 4.16pm.
