Addington Harness Tips & Preview | Friday 3 July

He went out favourite from a horrible draw last time out and wasn’t bad, but things look a lot better for Harry Belafonte this week and he’s paying huge money. Should get the right trip on the markers behind the right kind of horse and with a bit of luck at the right time can be a major each way player here.  
Selections: 10-7-11-4-2 

Heavily supported in all three runs last campaign before heading to the paddock and time always looked like it would be a friend for Lexicon (6). Gets a great opportunity to kick off the new campaign on the right kind of note and should be hard to beat here.  
Selections: 6-4-2-8-1 

One of the better ones behind a rampant Tempo Warrior here a fortnight ago, Caught The Eye (8) made up good ground on slick sectionals and is going to win one soon. Nice chance tonight with only a small field of rivals and a little luck and a drag into it and she should be the one to beat.  
Selections: 8-1-5-3-4 

Enough signs in the last effort from Chocta (6) to suggest he’s getting back to somewhere near his best and at his best, he’ll be dangerous here. Mobile conditions suit and should be able to roll forward and get into a good spot. Talent will take him a long way.  
Selections: 6-9-8-3-2 

Wee freshen up for Bruciebytheseaside (4) after finishing second for Wishing For U here last time out. Talented pacer who footed it with some of the better three-year-olds of the age prior to his last run. Nice draw to work from and should be on the speed and out of trouble and, ultimately, hard to beat. 
Selections: 4-7-6-11-8 

With the sectionals Franco Harlem ran up front it was always going to be impossible for Crunchy Granola (1). Much better placed here form a good draw and if able to hold up then should be in a handy spot turning for home and very hard to beat.  
Selections: 1-7-10-9-8 

She’s a trotter with pacer like speed when saved up for one run and Midnight Diamond (11) showcased that here last time out. Only going to be better for the run too and watch her work through the grades quickly. Just needs to be close enough turning in to run them down again.  
Selections: 11-2-9-7-4 

One of the better three-year-olds in behind Marketplace and Got The Chocolates last season, Bettors Anvil (9) returns here. He’s been gelded in between times and has had a strong build up of work and looks pretty ready to go. Just needs a good tempo to bring him into play late.  
Selections: 9-4-6-2-8 

Getting back behind the mobile should be key for Transonic (7) after be bumbled the standing start fresh up. Pretty nice horse when he’s on the job and it would be no surprise to see him roll across and control this and show his talent.  
Selections: 7-2-3-12-11 

Really taken by the last two efforts of Randel Huston P (5) and think he comes into this as a horse with the confidence up and a live chance. Sectionally he’s been excellent in his last two and wouldn’t have to go any better this time around to be a major player at a nice price.  
Selections: 5-7-3-1-6 

Did it tough over the final lap last week but Bettor Than Lizzy (6) didn’t throw the towel in. Handled her first standing start well and this is a bit of step back in grade so would expect her to be very prominent. A good beginning and she should land on the speed and be right there at the finish. 
Selections: 6-7-4-2-3
