Addington Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
1 The Beach House <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Nice upswing in draws today for The Beach House (1) after a couple of resuming runs through August. Not bad in either of them. Blair jumps\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0the bike, lands the ace in a very\u00a0<\/span>wide open<\/span>\u00a0field. A lot of boxes ticked and a nice start to the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Near enough efforts in the last two from Origin (4) and the fourth behind Just\u00a0<\/span>For<\/span>\u00a0Today two starts back should be good enough to win a race like this.

\n

A\u00a0<\/span>long time<\/span>\u00a0maiden with 66 starts on the board, but Miss Woodville (7) has been pretty decent of late and in some very good maiden fields. Near enough efforts behind Rosetta Road,\u00a0<\/span>Nansana<\/span>\u00a0and Christian Bale in the last few. A bit of luck and can win this at a price.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Racing\u00a0<\/span>really well<\/span>\u00a0recently without landing the killer blow, Zoom X (5) gets a big chance here.

Big win at Ashburton five starts back and then good efforts ever since by Ocean\u00a0<\/span>Of<\/span>\u00a0Tears (1).\u00a0<\/span>Perhaps best<\/span>\u00a0in front so will be hoping for a quick beginning here to land on the speed and look to stay there.

Very keen\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0her recent\u00a0<\/span>trial, but<\/span>\u00a0trotted beautifully all the same. If she turns up in the right frame of mind,\u00a0<\/span>she\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0win.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
