Cambridge Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
10 Father Barry <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

With four really strong runs under the belt since resuming from a spell it appears to be time for Father Barry (10) to find his way back into the winners\u2019 circle. Has been great in fields much better than this and as long as he has no traffic issues, he should be winning tonight.

The best horse in the race without doubt, Paramount Kiwi (10) is going to take a few runs to get back to his absolute best but into a winnable race tonight he might be ready enough to salute. Powerful trotter when\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0on his game and look out for him if he loops into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

An eye-catching effort after a little bit of bad luck in running by Blue Chip Lou (4) on New Year\u2019s Eve at Auckland. Found the line\u00a0<\/span>really nicely<\/span>\u00a0though and is really taking that next step up.
