Winton Harness Race 1
7 Majestic Challen
A long time maiden yes, but 7 Majestic Challen brings forth good manners and consistency which isn't something the majority of rivals can boast. If races run true to form over the past month then this is the day for the trotter to break through finally.
Selections: 7-2-4-1-3
Winton Harness Race 2
1 Ada RJ
A maiden victory continues to elude 1 Ada RJ, but it's only a matter of time until it happens. Two cracking efforts for second in the last two performances and if able to lead up here and control things, should have the measure of rivals.
Selections: 1-7-3-6-2
Winton Harness Race 3
1 South Beach
Talented pacer 1 South Beach resumes from a spell today after taking on some smart types in the initial campaign. Has hit out nicely in public runs to prep for this and with the aid of the inside draw should be able to hold a forward position and prove hard to stop.
Selections: 1-5-4-2-6
Winton Harness Race 4
9 Chicago Sky
TIP OF THE DAY
9 Chicago Sky put in a superb run first up at Addington when finishing second behind Celestial Sea in a Nevele R Fillies heat. This is a huge slide down in grade and as long as there's a little luck from the tricky barrier draw she really should have the measure of this field.
Selections: 9-7-1-2-3
Winton Harness Race 5
1 Superfast
1 Superfast put in an eye catching effort last time out from a tricky spot in running. Found the line really nicely. Lands the ace draw today which can really help turn things around and with a sweet trip just off the speed on the fence can join in and have the final say.
Selections: 1-11-5-3-7
Winton Harness Race 6
5 Evangalist
A sharp Ashburton trial last week looks to have 5 Evangalist resuming here today in fine fettle. Lovely mare who has done a great job and with her gate speed should find the fence early. From there with her own terms she'd be hard to catch up the lane.
Selections: 5-8-6-7-3
Winton Harness Race 7
10 Julie Jaccka
High speed mare 10 Julie Jaccka wasn't quite able to get it right from the stand last time out in a hot field. Cops a 40m handicap here but she's a class act when on the top of her game and if she can step away today she'll be well in commission.
Selections: 10-8-5-6-7
Winton Harness Race 8
5 Seaside Pond
Capable type 5 Seaside Pond resumes here today and won't have come down from Canterbury for nothing. Nice enough draw and showed a bit of lick in a recent trial to win. Should be in for a good campaign and can start on the right note here.
Selections: 5-9-4-2-10
Winton Harness Race 9
12 Always Be Batman
No doubting that 12 Always Be Batman is the best horse in the field but he might need to be really good to win today from the tricky draw. Would expect a confident drive that has him up on the speed at some stage and if in front turning for home will take some catching.
Selections: 12-6-9-7-2
