Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the seven races at the Alexandra Park Harness meeting on Friday 18 September below:  Alex Park Harness Race 1 5 Sammy Lincoln He took his time to break the maiden status, but the version of Sammy Lincoln (5) we saw winning last week was the true version of him. Big and bold and devastating. Often horses who take a while to break through end up being those who can string them together quickly and he’s just that type of horse. No surprise to see…

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the seven races at the Cambridge Harness meeting on Thursday 17 September below:  Cambridge Harness Race 1 2 Pyrenees Comes out of four very strong maiden fields up at Alexandra Park to open the career and while there have been mistakes in some of the runs from Pyrenees (2), the two fourths have had plenty of merit. This is a whole lot easier and if able to trot onto the speed early and stay down then should prove hard…

Has a massive motor and will just keep getting better with racing. Small field here is ideal. He’s going to be close enough to unleash on them if required. Selections: 4-3-2-1  Alexandra Park R1 – IRT…

Small field here today really suits and if able to get around in one piece then should have the measure of this field without too much stress.  Selections: 4-5-6-7-1  Invercargill R1 – APPARELMASTER HCP TROT Open Race time:  4. Pyramid Mischief (4) J: Matthew Williamson…
