Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday 17 April.  Alexandra Park Harness Race 1 7 Black Beauty Third up from a spell tonight and off the back of a cracking second when last produced, talented three-year-old filly Black Beauty (7) looks primed for success tonight. Has a big season ahead of her and is still on the way up, but even from the wide draw should be able to find the right spot to be a major factor.  Selections: 7-8-1-11-10  Alexandra Park R1 Final Race time:  3rd 7.

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 17 April.  Addington Harness Race 1 1 Sacetas For natural brilliance and push button speed, Sacetas (1) probably has this field covered but he can, at times, be his own worst enemy. Gate speed to use and a draw to use it from, the 2600m looks right at his maximum for now but if he can pinch a couple of quarters early then he’ll ramp it up on the way home and deliver.  Selections: 1-5-6-3-4  Addington R1 Open Race time:  1. Sacetas (1) J: Thomas Borcoskie 7×120T: Robert & Jenna Dunn 1.75WIN 1.06PLACE Dragged…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Thursday 16 April. Cambridge Harness Race 1 8 Lexington Queen Getting back onto the all weather can be key for Lexington Queen (8) here. She’s got as much ability as any horse in this race and even from the wide draw if she ran up to her Canterbury trial form then she’d be awfully hard to beat in this line up.  Selections: 8-3-2-13-7  Cambridge R1 Final Race time:  1st 8. Lexington Queen (8) J: Andre Poutama 07×24T: Peter & Vaughan Blanchard 5.00WIN 1.95PLACE For current odds on all of our live racing markets, please visit www.tab.co.nz/racing. Data…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Winton Harness on Thursday 16 April.  Winton Harness Race 1 1 Imperious Girl As the winner of all three of her last public runs, Imperious Girl (1) comes into today with a lot of expectation hanging over her. Has looked pretty smart and run a bit of time too, so just needs to overcome the inside draw for a debut and should be too good for them.  Selections: 1-7-6-2-6  Winton R1 Final Race time:  1st 1.

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Wednesday 15 April.  Addington Harness Race 1 1 Jack’s Eyre A huge slide back in grade here for Jack’s Eyre (1) who was last seen running a strong fourth behind Ukraine on Easter Rewards night. Is compiling a really good record and from the inside draw here with Cheree Wigg in the bike, looks hard to beat.  Selections: 1-6-9-8-4  Addington R1 Open Race time:  1. Jack’s Eyre (1) J: Cheree Wigg 24214T: Greg & Ben Hope 1.85WIN 1.14PLACE Solid up in grade following clinical Ash win from the ace. Expected to…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Methven Harness on Sunday 12 April.  Methven Harness Race 1 4 Johnny Trotter Got it wrong at the start last week at The Mot and took no part but expect Johnny Trotter (4) to be able to turn things around pretty quickly here and get a win on the board. Shaping up like a winner, just needs the legs to go in the right places early and he’ll be away and laughing.  Selections: 4-11-13-2-1  Methven R1 Open Race time:  4. Johnny Trotter (4) J: Jacob Dunn 333×0T: Robert & Jenna Dunn 3.70WIN 1.55PLACE Got it wrong…

Really nice trial at Addington 10 days ago, which while nothing flashy in the result, looked great to the eye and the small field here means he should win with no fuss. Selections: 4-2-1-3  Winton R1 Open Race time:  4.

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Friday’s Night of Champions meeting at Cambridge Harness.  Cambridge Harness Race 1 4 Layton David It’s been a productive start to the racing career of Layton David (4) with two really strong efforts followed by a below par one last time out. Back to the trials since and looked very sharp with a key gear change clearly working. Small field suits him here and he should be hard to beat. Selections: 4-5-3-1-2 Cambridge R1 Open Race time:  4. Layton David (4) J: Tony Cameron 257T: Mark Jones 3.00WIN 1.18PLACE Safely held…

Has been really strong over the past six weeks and lands in a reall suitable race tonight. If he can jump and find the markers, he’s well in play. Selections: 6-8-9-2-10 Addington R1 Open Race time:  6. The Coalman (6) J: Samantha Ottley 22326T: Mark Jones 3.50WIN 1.55PLACE Pay to forget unlucky…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Palmerston North Harness on Thursday 9 April.  Palmerston North Harness Race 1 5 Kink Missed Tuesday’s meeting after stepping out at Cambridge late last week and the effort of Kink (5) there was excellent in a very strong field. 40m handicap to contend with here but will overcome that without any issues and looks a strong chance to start the night. Selections: 5-6-1-2-3  Palmerston North R1 Final Race time:  3rd 5.
