You have picked a ripper meeting to go to - Cup and Derby heats.



There are more odds on favourites in Harness Racing and inside front row draws are pretty valuable.

My tips
Rc1No1 Should get you a good start to the night
Rc2No2 Good hope
Rc3No5 I think he is good value even at current price $2
Rc4No1 No bet - watch on
Rc5No4 Tad risky at the price
Rc6No1 Probably a no bet race again but brag time - backed this bloke $7 fixed for next weeks final just last week, now into $4.
Rc7No3 Probably should be winning this on NZ for so get on
Rc8No3 One of the riskier bets of the night but comes with big wraps
Rc9No2 No bet -Watch on. Not a chance in hell it will get beat. This is like Redzel racing in a benchmark 70 at level weights.
Rc10No4 No bet - Watch on

All shorties but you don't go broke backing winners. Next weeks racing at Melton should provide a few more open races.

going to my first trots night Saturday - Ballarat Cup. What am I looking for in harness form? Any tips? Normally struggle to pick anything when it comes to harness!

Cheers

Be careful with Ballarat as its the only Victorian that doesn't have a sprint lane. Horses can sometimes be stuck with no where to go.

Hope you found a few winners milkman

Horse in the first come in late to $1.20 but was $1.65 earlier. Horse in rc6 got out to $2.10 - I couldnt believe it! Horse in the Cup also come right in, was $3.20 at time of posting tips. As did race 8 it was about $3 at time of posting. Even horse in rc3 come in a bit to $1.70.

9/10 winners, all short but what can you do. I'll be off to Melton next week for the Derby final. Boys trip Caulfield races, Melton trots!

Season sort of dies of for a while now with older horses in paddock and 2 and 3yo racing not quite heating up yet. Couple at Melton tonight Berisari and Maratei for Emma Stewart could be a race to race double.

No mobile starts in QLD, wtf is going on?
Not sure exactly why, could only be a short-term thing, but at a meeting at Redcliffe last week the mobile arms failed to come back in and they hit a young boy and 2yo girl who were on the outside fence watching. I think the kids are going to be ok in the end but copped some big injuries.
