Winton Harness Picks - Saturday, 16 November


Winton Harness Race 1
1 Robyns Hustler

A really suitable opportunity for Robyns Hustler here today with the aid of the ace draw. Drew the second line last time out and never really got into the race but prior runs off good draws, including an unlucky fourth behind No Added Sugar two back are much better indicators toward success chances here.
Selections: 1-5-2-8-3

Winton Harness Race 2
10 Top Of The Hill

Consistent performer Top Of The Hill has been handy enough in some recent handicap trots with good ones behind to be a serious player here given he'll be the one chasing. Massive drop back to take on largely maidens and with a good beginning should be well in commission early and hard to stop.
Selections: 10-6-3-7-9

Winton Harness Race 3
6 Always Dreaming

After spending most of the last campaign ticking along behind the likes of Rubira and Got The Chocolates life should feel a whole lot easier here for Always Dreaming today. Handy young pacer who simply just has better credentials than the race rivals here and with no bad luck should have no problems in winning.
Selections: 6-5-7-1-4

Winton Harness Race 4
7 Ultimate Mach

A handy fresh up third at Oamaru last week should have Ultimate Mach ready to rock and roll here. Talented horse but had a few steering issues in that first up run. Those should be rectified here and if able to get onto the speed early will take a bit of catching.
Selections: 7-3-5-1-10

Winton Harness Race 5
3 Lily's A Star

Always worth a second look at any Canterbury runner trekking down to the south for an assignment. Lily's A Star is one of those runners. Has been knocking around in some decent fields up the road and running good races and will find this a whole lot easier. Hard to stop with the A Game.
Selections: 3-7-4-8-5

Winton Harness Race 6
5 Dwindle Star

The last couple of runs from Dwindle Star have looked like a horse who is ready to pick one up at short notice. Great opportunity here too. Kerryn Tomlinson is driving well, especially when in front and if she could find the top here, then they might have a bit of chasing to do.
Selections: 5-8-7-2-12

Winton Harness Race 7
7 The Wulver

Life got tough for The Wulver at Oamaru last time out when eighth of eight at Oamaru – but wasn't actually that far off the winner, Dancing Desire. This looks a lot more in the wheelhouse today and should be able to bounce back to form here if things pan out nicely early.
Selections: 7-4-9-3-5

Winton Harness Race 8
1 On The Wing
Tip of The Day

Brilliant win last time out beating a quality pacer by On The Wing and given we're staying in largely the same grade and get the aid of an inside barrier draw, there's plenty to like about the chances of going back-to-back here. Should punch out and be handy throughout and prove hard to stop.
Selections: 1-7-4-6-9
