Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday 29 May.  Alexandra Park Harness Race 1 4 Chanel Noire Tip of The Day A short priced favourite to start the night but given her form this campaign, it’s a price that is justifiable for Chanel Noire (4). She’s quick and from a good draw should land in a nice spot close enough to the speed for her to unleash on them here and deliver.  Selections: 4-2-5-6-7  Alexandra Park R1 Open Race time:  4. Chanel Noire (4) J: Zachary Butcher 35116T: Barry Purdon & Scott Phelan 1.70WIN 1.10PLACE Did a good…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 29 May.  Addington Harness Race 1 10 Larissa Beaudiene Dropping out of three really strong races to start this campaign, Larissa Beaudiene (10) looks beautifully placed here tonight. Runs in behind Forever Miki, Cinderella Franco and Cath will all have her primed and ready to go as will a quiet trial last week. Needs a little luck from the draw, but with it should be winning.  Selections: 10-9-4-1-2  Addington R1 Open Race time:  10. Larissa Beaudiene (1) J: Ricky May 6×635T: Brendon Hill 3.10WIN 1.45PLACE Quiet 6th at trials since…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Winton Harness on Sunday 24 May.  Winton Harness Race 1 2 Babe On The Beach Form has tapered off a little in the past three or four starts, but today poses a considerable drop back in grade for the talented Babe On The Beach (2). Lands a great draw to work from and an even field to take on. Should be prominent throughout and hard to beat.  Selections: 2-9-6-3-1  Winton R1 Open Race time:  2. Babe On The Beach (2) J: Craig Ferguson 32958T: Craig Ferguson 4.60WIN 1.80PLACE Steady in a harder field last start. Drawn to…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Timaru Harness on Sunday 24 May.  Timaru Harness Race 1 4 Help Me A lot to like about the recent efforts of Help Me (4) and the third at Ashburton last time suggested a win isn’t too far away. Best driven for the one cold shot at them which often opens up to luck issues but with any kind of rub of the green here should be the horse to beat.  Selections: 4-5-10-6-2  Timaru R1 Open Race time:  4. Help Me (4) J: Ricky May 61353T: Warren Stapleton 4.50WIN 1.80PLACE Eyecatcher late to secure 3rd at…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday 22 May.  Alexandra Park Harness Race 1 4 Magic Dash Never going to be much of a chance off the big handicap last time out when they ran such even sectionals, so put a line through that one from Magic Dash (4). Falls in here nicely, despite the 30m handicap which is negated by the small field. Less question marks than other key rivals and should thrive on the opportunity.  Selections: 4-6-5-3-2  Alexandra Park R1 Open Race time:  4. Magic Dash (4) J: Crystal Hackett 14150T: Michelle…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 22 May.  Addington Harness Race 1 4 Didn’t Di Came from a mile off Axel Rose last week and ran him very close and there’s every chance Didn’t Di (4) is going to be a whole lot closer in the running this week. That high speed is as good as anything going around at the moment in the trotting ranks in Canterbury and a show of it again here should produce a win.  Selections: 4-10-8-6-1  Addington R1 Open Race time:  4. Didn’t Di (4) J: Blair Orange 13252T: Matt Purvis 3.50WIN 1.40PLACE Rattled home when clear…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Thursday 21 May. Cambridge Harness Race 1 1 The Last Yarn Tip of The Day Really tidy improvement from the two Manawatu runs to open the career to what we saw last week from The Last Yarn (1). On the right trajectory and finds an even maiden field here and comes up with the ideal barrier draw to work from. Should be in the fight for a very long way.  Selections: 1-8-7-3-2 Cambridge R1 Open Race time:  1. The Last Yarn (1) J: Zachary Butcher 664T: Arna Donnelly 2.40WIN 1.24PLACE Beaten by last…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Rangiora on Sunday 17 May.  Rangiora Harness Race 1 2 Bronski A nice each way play to start the day here in Bronski (2). Has been really good in three runs back from a spell in this grade and from the good draw today should be on the speed throughout and with fitness peaking looks a strong chance of saluting.  Selections: 2-6-8-7-3   Rangiora R1 Open Race time:  2. Bronski (2) J: Craig Thornley 0x843T: Donna Williamson 6.00WIN 2.00PLACE Bold bid, 6 May after narrow miss 2nd-up. Expect another bold showing today. Odds are subject to fluctuation.…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Invercargill Harness on Sunday 17 May.  Invercargill Harness Race 1 7 Rangitata The talented Rangitata (7) kicks off a new campaign here off the back of some solid work over the past 12 months. Will appreciate getting into this kind of grade and has more than enough ability to win this even despite the likely need for a run under the belt.  Selections: 7-9-10-8-2  Invercargill R1 Open Race time:  7. Rangitata (7) J: Oliver Kite 2378xT: Phil Williamson 1.65WIN 1.10PLACE Took on nice company last prep. Kept fresh by old master trainer. Must rate. Odds are…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 15 May.  Addington Harness Race 1 8 Trump Card Sat off the speed here a fortnight ago and made the rivals look second rate and Trump Card (8) will look to do the same again. Bit of a step up and there’s a few handy ones in here so will need to be good, but is more than capable.  Selections: 8-9-13-1-10  Addington R1 Open Race time:  8. Trump Card (8) J: Olivia Thornley 78×31T: Hayden & Amanda Cullen 2.15WIN 1.25PLACE Very impressive with last say here 01 May. Moves up in class,…
