Methven Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
8 Chance On Me <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Spotted sneaking up the markers after getting trapped away on the fence last week at The Mot, Chance <\/span>On<\/span> Me (8) should find clear air a little earlier this week. Different set up, but she\u2019s a good grass track operator and with the right kind of run can win. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Eye-catching final burst fresh up from a long spell last week by Real Velocity (6) and natural improvement you would expect to carry a long way here. Field is <\/span>probably a<\/span> little weaker than last week too so certainly ticks all the right boxes. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A bit to like in all three of the race day appearances to this point from Antisocial (11). Given a wee freshen up after getting left parked at Timaru and steps out here fresh and ready to go. Has high speed so <\/span>look<\/span> for a strong finishing burst. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

Lovely effort last week from Son E (5) in a field <\/span>similar to<\/span> this. No surprise to see some inspired support come off the back of that run. Should trot onto the speed early here and look to hold a forward spot throughout and with continued improvement, can win. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Two really strong efforts in the past two starts have Hey Tonight (8) knocking on the door of another victory. Loves the grass track venues and grabs a leading junior driver for the assignment in a <\/span>wide open<\/span> field which is another good tick. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Off the back of a strong run on Show Day where he finished third behind Captain Kobe, The Coalman (2) gets back onto the grass today and lends in a <\/span>really nice<\/span> race for him.
