Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the nine races at the Gore Harness meeting on Sunday 27 September below:  Only narrowly beaten last time out by a pretty smart one and Drummershavetime (3) wouldn’t need to go any better than that to be winning this. Decent wee slide back in terms of field quality and from the good draw should be on the speed and dominating here.  Selections: 3-11-13-9-10  Canterbury raider Humber Hawk (4) arrives in the south for Team Dalgety off the…

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the 10 races at the Timaru Harness meeting on Sunday 27 September below:  Plenty have been waiting a while for the debut of Grandad Don (7), he’s a promising trotter from the John Morrison stable who has looked well above average in his workouts and trials. Clean gaited and good mannered he might just trot to the front and not look back today. If he does, they’ll need to be really good to beat him.  Selections: 7-13-6-3-2 …

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the nine races at the Alexandra Park Harness meeting on Friday 25 September below:  A well below par effort for third first up from Signman (1) but expecting great benefit to have been taken from that run and lands in a pretty nice race for him tonight. Good draw to use and with that improvement might look to make the most of it. Anywhere near his best and he delivers here. Selections: 1-3-5-2-6  Race experience might come into…

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the 11 races at the Addington Harness meeting on Friday 25 September below:  In a race that wasn’t really run to suit her usual pattern, Arafura (3) was simply awesome here a fortnight ago first up from a spell. Trainer reports she’s gone up another level since and with only a small field of rivals to tackle, you’d expect her to be delivering once again.  Selections: 3-5-4-1-2  Plenty to like about the late work from Request (10)…

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 24 September below:  Cambridge Harness Race 1 4 Copy Ten Four Tip of The Day Four starts to the races for a bit of a mixed bag from Copy Ten Four (4) but it looks like there’s enough in what we’ve seen to clear maidens easily enough. This is the easiest task to date and if on best behaviour, should be hard to stop. Selections: 4-5-7-1-3  Cambridge…

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the eight races at the Addington Harness meeting on Wednesday 23 September below:  Addington Harness Race 1 5 Zoom X There have been plenty of chances for Zoom X (5) this time in, but none of them have come to fruition. That said, not bad races when you break them down and is knocking on the door of a success. Finds another good opportunity and will be out to make the most of it.  Selections: 5-1-3-2-6  Addington R1…

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the 11 races at the Geraldine Harness meeting on Sunday 20 September below:  Geraldine Harness Race 1 4 Aldebaran Lobell Perhaps the only surprising thing about the first campaign of Aldebaran Lobell (4) was that a maiden win didn’t come with it. Ran some cracking races, against good opposition, but just couldn’t break through. Time looked set to be a friend and judging by the trial looks set to kick off on the right note. Selections: 4-1-7-5-12  Geraldine R1 – THE FAMOUS…

Matt Markham has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the 10 races at the Addington Harness meeting on Friday 18 September below:  Addington Harness Race 1 4 Giorgio Denario Decent enough slide back in grade tonight for the talented but capable Giorgio Denario (4). He wasn’t bad behind the big guns last week and will only be getting better with racing too. Draw to use here and don’t be surprised to see him look to control this from the outset.  Selections: 4-8-2-1-5  Addington R1 – KIDNEY KIDS RACENIGHT 25 SEPT BOOK…

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 nine races at the Winton Harness meeting on Thursday 17 September below: Winton Harness Race 1 3 Mach A Wish A maiden win is incoming for Mach A Wish (3) and today looks a nice day to make it happen. He’s been OK throughout his short career to date and looks decently placed here tonight. A good draw should see bad luck taken out of the equation and him going close.  Selections: 3-5-6-4-1  Winton R1 – ALL LAY CARPETS & DRAPES MBL…
