Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Winton Harness on Sunday 9 November.  Winton Harness Race 1 4 Babe On The Beach Handy mare Babe On The Beach (4) resumes here off the back of a good spell and a nice build up for Craig Ferguson. Has taken on much better fields than this in the past and with those public runs under the belt should have the edge on rivals here today.  Selections: 4-2-6-3-5  Winton R1 Open Race time:  4. Babe On The Beach (4) J: Craig Ferguson T: Craig Ferguson 1.65WIN 1.05PLACE Solid work in trials & comes off the…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 7 November.  Addington Harness Race 1 2 Who’s Ya Daddy Tip of The Day Reliability and good manners make Who’s Ya Daddy (2) a good bet here tonight. He’s been racing against the best of the age group of late behind Kyvalley Ray and Duchess Maria and running strong placings. So should enjoy their absence. Will be handy to the speed and hard to stop.  Selections: 2-4-1-3-5  Addington (H) R1 Open Race time:  2. Who’s Ya Daddy (2) J: Bob Butt T: Trent Yesberg 3.20WIN 1.04PLACE More convictions than most here &…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday, 7 November.  Alexandra Park Harness Race 1 3 Cyclone Rebel Talented two-year-old Cyclone Rebel (3) might have been beaten last week but was fresh up for a number of weeks and looked likely to take plenty of benefit from the run. Fitter tonight and lands in a good race again and should be finding the line with plenty of purpose.  Selections: 3-2-4-5-1  Alexandra Park R1 Final Race time:  1st 3. Cyclone Rebel (3) J: Matthew White T: Tate Hopkins 2.15WIN 1.14PLACE For current odds on all of our live…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Oamaru on Thursday 6 November.  Oamaru Harness Race 1 7 Sans Repos High speed pacer Sans Repos (7) offers up a bit of value in the first of the day. An excellent winner here three starts back and two handy enough runs in better company since then too. Just needs to navigate the standing start and be close enough turning for home to reel them in. Selections: 7-5-10-8-4 Oamaru R1 Open Race time:  7. Sans Repos (7) J: Ricky Alfeld T: Danni Alfeld 5.00WIN 1.85PLACE Had an excuse at Add, 17…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Wednesday 5 November.  Cambridge Harness Race 1 1 St John Eight Off the back of a cracking third first up behind Double Parked, St John Eight (1) didn’t receive all favours in the Metro Final last week at Alexandra Park. Third up here and dropping well back in grade and with the aid of the inside draw, the hopes tonight look very bright and should prove hard to beat. Selections: 1-4-2-7-6 Cambridge R1 Open Race time:  1. St John Eight (1) J: Harrison Orange T: Andre Poutama 4.60WIN…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races on Kaikōura Cup Day at South Bay Racecourse. Kaikōura Harness Race 1 6 Franco Harlem A steady diet of public runs from 6 Franco Harlem ahead of today’s debut but the latest of them looked very sharp and also looked like one of a quick winner. Steps out in a strong maiden field here but looks to have the class to handle that and get the job done. Selections: 6-4-2-1-7  Kaikoura R1 Open Race time:  6. Franco Harlem (6) J: John Dunn T: Robert & Jenna Dunn 3.80WIN 1.05PLACE Plenty of trials/workouts under…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Kaikoura Harness on Sunday, 2 November. Kaikōura Harness Race 1 7 Courage Reactor Some strong form recently from 7 Courage Reactor and it shouldn’t be too long until it is turned into winning form either. Knocking on the door of a victory and lands in here quite nicely. Blair in the bike pulling the strings and should be going close in the first of the day.  Selections: 7-12-1-10-2  Kaikoura R1 Open Race time:  7. Courage Reactor (7) J: Blair Orange T: Michael House 4.40WIN 1.70PLACE Showed gate speed to lead out…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Winton Harness on Friday 30 October.  Winton Harness Race 1 1 Here’s Johny After a couple of runs back from a spell it’s about time we started seeing the best of 1 Here’s Johny and today provides the perfect opportunity for it. Has raced in and competed well against much better fields than this and if he can hold a forward position looks well in play here. Selections: 1-6-2-3-4 Winton R1 Open Race time:  1. Here’s Johny (1) J: Peter Hunter T: Peter Hunter 5.50WIN 1.55PLACE Got it wrong last start…

Carrera Hombre (5) J: Maurice McKendry T: Brian & Gareth Hughes 1.55WIN 1.05PLACE Resumes tonight after racing with purpose last campaign.…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Thursday, 30 October.  Cambridge Harness Race 1 2 Enzo A strong return to racing at Alexandra Park last week from 2 Enzo when going down narrowly to the promising Tight Lines. Sure to be improved from that run and with the aid of a good draw and a drop back to Cambridge company looks everybody’s right way to start the night.  Selections: 2-4-3-5-1  Cambridge R1 Open Race time:  2.
