Addington Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
2 Terry Webster <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Excellent efforts of late from Terry Webster (2) who looks to be really starting to get the hang of the racing game. A small field here is ideal as\u00a0<\/span>won\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0ever be too far off the speed. With no bad luck, should be stalking and then winding into it late and winning.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Some\u00a0<\/span>really big<\/span>\u00a0runs from\u00a0<\/span>Nansana<\/span>\u00a0(7) so far in the career and went\u00a0<\/span>very close<\/span>\u00a0to wearing down a smart one last time out.

Lovely race here tonight for One El (6) who has been doing everything but win lately. Has been up in a higher rating band for a lot of the recent racing\u00a0<\/span>too<\/span>\u00a0and from behind the mobile gets in on nice even terms. Will need to work for it, but\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0as tough as old boots and should be right there when it counts.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Some strong recent racing by Zeus (2) and he finds the perfect set up here.\u00a0<\/span>Shouldn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0have to cover any extra ground and looks set for a good trip on the pegs, no worse than three back on the fence.

With racing under the belt, George Eliot (4) is getting\u00a0<\/span>better and better<\/span>. Big run last time out to charge into second and with further improvement on that should have everything in this field beaten for natural speed. The right run is really all that is\u00a0<\/span>required<\/span>. Jump to the features page to find a boosted win price under the Winter Wipeout.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A tidy pipe-opener for the new campaign by Always\u00a0<\/span>A<\/span>\u00a0Porsche (8) here a couple of weeks ago and will strip a much fitter horse for that run. Has the class edge on most here and gets most for high speed too. Might need to work for\u00a0<\/span>it, but<\/span>\u00a0should deliver.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Promising filly Easton Doll (1) faces a step up in grade tonight after her impressive victory last time out but might look to take this race by the scruff of her neck from the inside draw and make it her own.

A lot to like about the debut win of Bord De La Mer (1) and it\u00a0<\/span>won\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0be the last win either. Looks a horse with a bright future and from the inside draw tonight gets a chance to really show his quality. Huge step up no doubt, but astute trainer\u00a0<\/span>wouldn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0be here if he\u00a0<\/span>didn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0think he could handle it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
