Addington Harness Race 1
3 Fusion Reactor

Handy enough in three runs since resuming from a spell and should find this a little easier than those assignments too. Primed and ready to get back in the winners circle and from the draw an aggressive John Dunn drive early should be the first phase on the way to success.
Selections: 3-5-8-7-1

Addington Harness Race 2
2 Habibti Pat

Beautifully bred debutant from a strike-rate trotting stable with some really strong workout and trial form under the belt. Race inexperience is the only concern but looks to have all the makings of a very nice horse in the future and no surprise to see a winning return to the track here tonight.
Selections: 2-1-11-9-4

Addington Harness Race 3
1 The Bettor Deal

Only fourth behind a few of these last time out but the final 200m was exceptionally good. Made up a stack of ground. Cops the inside draw again tonight but they'll be a bit more aggressive early and should be on the speed, or at worst just off it. Good enough to reel them in late too.
Selections: 1-4-6-5-3

Addington Harness Race 4
9 Ruakaka

Good confidence building run last time out and didn't have all the luck in the world either. Should just keep getting better with racing and the best version here tonight would be good enough to win this too. Bit to do from the draw but gets a good chance.
Selections: 9-8-5-4-2

Addington Harness Race 5
2 Teddy The Terror

Looked like he needed to be out and rolling a bit earlier on debut but the effort for third was full of merit. Horse with a nice future ahead of him and from the good draw here should be punching forward early and making a serious play toward staying on top the whole way.
Selections: 2-7-3-6-11

Addington Harness Race 6
3 Adored Dreamer
Tip of The Day

Looked every bit an Oaks filly with her stunning fresh up win here and the world is her oyster right now. Finds a perfect race to take the next step and from a good draw with the natural Stonewall Stud aggression should be finding the front and not looking back. Well backed early in markets too.
Selections: 3-7-4-6-5

Addington Harness Race 7
6 Fernetti

A lot of factors meant a win fresh up last time out shouldn't have happened but somehow still found the post first. Horse with real toughness and with improvement off the back of that run should be able to get forward again and make a serious play toward going two-from-two for the campaign.
Selections: 6-5-7-1-4

Addington Harness Race 8
8 Zoltan Boscik

Trotter with a huge future ahead and patiently handled since the big effort for third in the Darren DeFilippi Memorial. Trial win in between times to keep things ticking over and should be right on song for a resumption tonight. High speed will take a long way.
Selections: 8-1-10-9-5

Addington Harness Race 9
9 Rosie Richter

Went close to pinching it last time out and there was probably still some improvement to come from that run too. Even field here tonight and will have to make own luck from the outside draw but good enough to get handy and be right there at the finish at a nice each way price.
Selections: 9-8-7-5-6
