Addington Harness Race 1
8 Classie Linc

Life is a little sink or swim with Classie Linc at the moment, but on the right day and in the right mood a win in this field would come as no surprise. Could blast around them from the unruly and then run them into the turf. Alternatively, could get it all wrong and take no part. That's why they call it gambling, I guess.
Selections: 8-5-4-7-6

Addington Harness Race 2
5 Vin's Deal
Tip of The Day

There's been plenty to like in all of the public runs from Vin's Deal ahead of today's debut. The trial win at Rangiora 10 days ago was superb and a repeat of that would net a winning turn on debut without too much issue. Just needs to bring the manners along to make it all happen.
Selections: 5-6-12-3-2

Addington Harness Race 3
2 Bluey

The whole occasion on debut at The Mot on Saturday might have got a little too much for Bluey. Fear not though, the ability is there to win a maiden race and this one in particular is going to feel like nothing more than a trial. So, with the manners back in check, can reward those who go again.
Selections: 2-4-8-3-6

Addington Harness Race 4
6 Fear Gogh

In a field of maiden battlers, of which few have tasted a placing, let alone come close to success, Fear Gogh shines bright. Has placings in much stronger fields in two of the last three starts and a repeat anywhere near to one of those here will result in a victory.
Selections: 6-3-2-8-9

Addington Harness Race 5
8 Captain Kobe

Perhaps not quite set to live up to all the early hype, Captain Kobe should find a nice wee niche here on the mid-week meetings. Has gate speed, loves to be out and rolling and there's a naturally gifted driver in the bike. You're going to get everything needed to win.
Selections: 8-12-2-7-6

Addington Harness Race 6
3 Miles Away

Sneaking under the radar and turning in some handy performances in the last handful of starts, Miles Away might well be ready to strike here today. Meets a very wide open field and if able to get away with them on even terms and settle close to the speed might have a little too much class for the majority of these.
Selections: 3-14-7-2-9

Addington Harness Race 7
2 Gliding High

After a handy run first up for new quarters at Motukarara, Gliding High should come into this an improved horse and be ready to strike. A good stand start exponent, he can fly the tape and find a spot on the markers quickly and even if in front, with own terms, might be able to hold them all out.
Selections: 2-6-3-5-8

Addington Harness Race 8
12 Sophia Bromac

She doesn't win them out of turn, but Sophia Bromac generally always does enough to keep you interested. Maps OK here form the unruly as can stay out of the early rush and them look to unleash on her rivals late and get the job done.
Selections: 12-5-7-1-10
