Harness Analyst Best Tips

Best Bet: R1 Super Fund
Best Value: R4 I Can Too

Race 1

Super Fund (6) Kept finding on day one and looks very well placed to go another big race tonight.
Call Security (1) Drawn to get the run of the race and should be right in the finish again.
Ha’penny (3) Better than the last run suggests and this is a nice chance to bounce back.

 

Race 2

Mass Disruption (5) Strong runner-up effort last time and looks capable of making his presence felt again.
Mechanica (3) Forget the latest mistake and he can make amends if he gets away cleanly.
Pat Benatar (8) Impressive winner on Tuesday and clearly has to be respected despite the bigger handicap.

 

Race 3

Major Moonshine (6) Very consistent type who gets another good chance to break through.
Run Blaze Run (7) Keeps putting himself in the race and another honest effort looks likely.
Vera Grace (5) Unknown quantity with upside and could measure up immediately if forward enough.

 

Race 4

I Can Too (2) Strong winner on Tuesday and the better draw gives him every chance to go on with it.
Rack’em Up (6) Palmy debut win had plenty of merit and he shapes as a major danger again.
Skys Legacy (8) Forget the late error last time and she can improve sharply with better luck.

 

Race 5

Ordained (2) Racing very consistently and from the front tape should be around the action throughout.
Eagle Hanover (1) Tried hard again last start and gets another suitable chance from the front.
Very Majestic (7) Winning Palmy debut suggests another big run is on the cards despite the handicap.

 

Race 6

Captain Kobe (3) Didn’t get all favours on day one and is worth another chance to show his best.
Rough And Ready (7) Strong effort last time and the staying trip helps offset the big handicap.
Stealers Wheel (1) Gets a head start on main rivals and has been ok the last couple. Worth including 

 

Race 7

Courage Reactor (10) Tough placing on day one and even from the second line can be right in the finish again.
Indisposed (2) Can improve on the latest run and looks one for the multiples from a handy draw.
Who’s Your Dragon (1) Good effort from a wide trip last time and the ace draw brings him right into play.
