Addington selections — 18th March 2026

Harness Analyst Best Tips

Best Bet: R4 The Highlander
Best Value: R5  Kotare Kelso

Race 1

Quinn (3) Gets a much kinder alley today and that gives him the chance to be far more competitive.
Warloch (7) Has built into form nicely and looks one of the harder runners to hold out in this grade.
Mouton Cadet (5) Capable enough in this sort of race and can get a slice of it with the right trip.

---

Race 2

Schoemaker (4) If he can stay in the right gait, this looks a race where he can finally cash in.
Lindy’s Rocket (8) Recent trial suggests there is still something there and he can improve at odds.
Arden Solitaire (3) Needs to bring his best, but this line up is not beyond him if he trots cleanly.

---

Race 3

Blastfromthepast (9) Has shown enough at his best to be a genuine winning hope in this maiden field.
Ultimatum (10) Keeps racing honestly and looks one of the safer options to be in the finish again.
Enoka (5) Still lightly raced and has the upside to bounce back into calculations here.

Race 4

The Highlander (1) Drawn to get every favour and big run last start. Top selection in this line up. Needed
Playing With Stars (9) Forgive the tough trip last time and he is more than capable of featuring in this grade.
Sweet Glory (10) Could get a soft trip from the draw, and a smoother run could see him improve. One for odds.

Race 5

Kotare Kelso (9) Needs things to go right, but has gate speed and can measure up in this company.
Sweet Willow (10) Unruly mark makes it tougher, though he can still work into the placings late.
Lorton Vale (5) Has had excuses recently and this is the type of race where he can bounce back.

---

Race 6

Monkee Major (2) Drawn to get the right run and looks a strong chance to be in the finish. Top selection
Down A Hundy (7) Looked above average winning on debut and clearly has the talent to run top three.
Unico Realta (6) Brings handy race form into this and has to be respected again. Might go forward early

Race 7

Crown The Moment (3) Proven at this venue and this draw gives him every chance to show his best.
Kingaroy (5) Racing well enough to be right in the fight again with even luck. Needs the right trip
The Merc (9) Better than his last two suggest and can improve sharply if manners hold together.

---

Race 8

General Rebeck (11) Market watch runner resuming, and any support would be worth taking seriously.
Country Gold (4) Handy enough record here and should get his chance to be right in the finish here.
Goorambat Art (10) Consistent enough type who can sneak into the minors with the right trip. Include
