Third up from a spell this time around Auntie Deb (5) should be ready to strike. Couple of handy enough runs since resuming but this small field looks ideal and with a nice trip, just off the speed, can have the final say at them here.
Selections: 5-4-3-6-2

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Wednesday 29 April.
Copped a check on the home bend last time out and that was it for Always B Hayley (6) but all the prior form had been good enough to suggest that with a little luck in running here, she should be a little too good for this line up today.
Selections: 6-3-4-5-1
| 6. Always B Hayley (6) J: Samantha Ottley 24476T: John Howe |
A nice return to form of late from Valyrian (6) and largely it has come in fields much better than this one. Just needs to trot today and can stalk the speed throughout and look to join into the race late in the piece and get home over the top of them all.
Selections: 6-9-4-3-7
| 6. Valyrian (6) J: Olivia Thornley 06442T: Regan Todd |
Some good work in the past few weeks from Red Wine Kisses (2) and sure to be rewarded with a winning turn at short enough notice. Nice chance to get an early sweet trip just off the speed here and with the tempo good is a chance of working home strong and grabbing a well deserved win.
Selections: 2-3-6-4-1
| 2. Red Wine Kisses (2) J: Jim Curtin 96523T: Jim Curtin |
Got it wrong at The Mot last week on the grass but all the prior form from Royalglow (3) had been good enough to be a strong winning hope in this line up. Has to catch the start right but get through that first task and from there you’re a chance of a nice return on investment.
Selections: 3-4-9-1-2
| 3. Royalglow (3) J: Jason Ford 86250T: Jason Ford |
Doesn’t win them out of turn, but Hugo (10) is a horse that when the opportunity does present, he’ll take it. The runs two and three starts back behind Captain Cool and My Wingman respectively would be good enough to win this eight times out of 10, just needs a little luck from the inside of the second row.
Selections: 10-7-6-11-5
| 10. Hugo (1) J: Sam Thornley 89357T: John McDermott |
Did a bit of work at Motukarara last time out and he didn’t throw the towel in Magical Max (2). Won’t ever win them in a row, but gets a race here where all the hard work should be done for him and with a nice trip just off the speed is capable of out-staying his rivals.
Selections: 2-5-4-7-8
| 2. Magical Max (2) J: Blair Orange 53026T: Kevin Fairbairn |
