Addington Harness Race 1
4 Donna's Boy
First go out of maidens for 4 Donna's Boy tonight and takes on some pretty hardened rivals but there's no doubting the motor being there. Good manners are a big plus as has led in last two efforts so should be on the speed and capable of going back-to-back.
Selections: 4-10-5-7-2
Addington Harness Race 2
2 The Lazarus Effect
Highly touted pacer 2 The Lazarus Effect resumes from a spell here and drops into a pretty good grade for a horse of his quality. Trials have been excellent in preparation for this and from the good draw you'd expect him to just dominate this field.
Selections: 2-7-8-5-3
Addington Harness Race 3
8 Ready Set Jet
Only good things to come for 8 Ready Set Jet off the back of a strong run for second first up at Oamaru. Has always been a high quality trotter going forward and a bit more time on the side may have brought that on even further. Needs to do it right, but can definitely win.
Selections: 8-6-3-12-4
Addington Harness Race 4
1 It's Tough
TIP OF THE DAY
Two from two this time in from 1 It's Tough and he looks to have knuckled right down and is ready to live up to all his potential. Great gate for a horse with plenty of early speed and should be on the top end and in control of things throughout, making him awfully hard to beat.
Selections: 1-8-7-6-4
Addington Harness Race 5
6 Duchess Maria
Exciting two-year-old trotter 6 Duchess Maria resumes here tonight after creating a big splash in her early campaign. First up always comes with a few queries but one thing she has in abundance is blistering high speed and in a small field that means she can settle close enough to reel them all in late.
Selections: 6-4-7-5-3
Addington Harness Race 6
7 Marketplace
It won't be easy to win first up for the brilliant 7 Marketplace but he might just be that good that he burns them off the track anyway. Beautiful build up through to tonight's resumption and while there are bigger fish to fry if he's close enough to them turning for home he should still be winning.
Selections: 7-4-6-3-5
Addington Harness Race 7
11 Lakelsa
Trainer put the hand up and took blame for the last start failure of 11 Lakelsa so prepared to forgive and forget that one. Much better set up here on the second line where she can be driven for her high speed and strength at the end of races. Let go a wee bit in the market, that's dangerous because she can definitely win.
Selections: 11-7-5-12-8
Addington Harness Race 8
11 Mighty Logan
All you needed to see from the first up run of 11 Mighty Logan a fortnight ago was the final 200m. Simply stunning work from him through the line. Still off a big handicap tonight but with fitness on the rise expect a much sharper showing from him here. No bad luck and a little handier this week and he wins.
Selections: 11-9-7-4-8
Addington Harness Race 9
2 We Walk By Faith
Eye-catching first up effort from 2 We Walk By Faith last time out. Beautiful starting point for a Cup campaign. Expect big improvement from it too and from the good draw tonight if he can step onto the speed then he's most of the way toward success.
Selections: 2-7-10-1-5
