Gore Harness Race 1
7 Nyla
Not a horse who wins them in a row, 7 Nyla is one you can back on the each way with a bit of confidence most weeks. Falls into a very winnable race today with no real standouts and plenty of horses looking for some form. Wide draw a little concern but might just roll forward and take bad luck out of play.
Selections: 7-6-3-4-1
Gore Harness Race 2
2 Leithen Louie
Jumps up in grade from a strong maiden win but 2 Leithen Louie makes up for the experience he's giving some rivals today in ability. Should do a really good job in the career and from the good draw here will be well in play throughout and hard to stop again.
Selections: 2-7-4-1-3
Gore Harness Race 3
8 To The Moon And Back
Sink or swim trotter 8 To The Moon And Back has all the ability in the world and while the manners are getting better they're not the complete package yet so some caution is required. That said, a faultless display here will be too much for all rivals to handle.
Selections: 8-4-6-7-5
Gore Harness Race 4
7 Bowlem Over
TIP OF THE DAY
A couple of handy efforts in recent weeks from 7 Bowlem Over and this week might be the week that they decide to cut him loose early after some quiet trips in behind the speed. Best version would be too good for this field and he's not far off his best so a big watch on today.
Selections: 7-3-2-1-5
Gore Harness Race 5
3 Major Torque
Out of form up in Canterbury, 3 Major Torque is looking to find his mojo again and gets a great opportunity here. On speed runner who gets a draw to work with finally and if he can land on the markers around Gore they'd need to be pretty good to run him down.
Selections: 3-2-6-7-5
Gore Harness Race 6
4 Clotilde Wainwright
Smart trotter 4 Clotilde Wainwright returns from a trip up to Canterbury where she was far from disgraced in a good field. This is easier and she's shown in her short career that there's plenty of ability and speed there, certainly enough to round this field up if the opportunity arises.
Selections: 4-11-1-3-8
Gore Harness Race 7
5 Samtapa
A really smart Rangiora trial win last week from 5 Samtapa suggest that it's all systems go for this week's return to racing. Handy in only run to date when finishing fourth and should find this race well within range. Looks hard to beat.
Selections: 5-6-4-2-1
Gore Harness Race 8
2 Styx Jewel
2 Styx Jewel backed up a really strong win here two starts back with an equally as good effort in behind Father Time at Addington last week. Mobile conditions really suit this girl and if she can land forward and be close enough turning for home she's got the high speed to win this.
Selections: 2-8-3-5-7
Gore Harness Race 9
2 Rakamick
All the form suggests another win for 2 Rakamick is just around the corner and today might be that time. Going great guns, but often just finding one or two a bit better. Lands the good draw to work from and shouldn't have to do too much extra so can hold them all off late.
Selections: 2-9-1-10-3
