Winton Harness Race 1
4 Rangitata
A maiden trotter on debut in the Phil Williamson colours is usually enough to grab the attention and Rangitata (#4) brings some strong trial form forth to this debut. Looks a pretty professional sort of trotter who should handle the occasion and with manners is the one to beat.

Winton Harness Race 2
1 Our Twinkle
Been a bit of word around for Our Twinkle (#1) for a while and he kicks off the career here ready and rearing to get straight into the work. Looked very slick winning a recent workout and if he can bring that kind of form through to this he'll be the one to beat.
Selections: 1-9-4-8-3
Winton Harness Race 3
1 Blue Dragon
A key upgrade in draws tips the scales in favour of Blue Dragon (#1) today. Has been very good in the short career to date and with the aid of the marker pegs throughout gets a golden opportunity to get career win No.1 on the board here.
Selections: 1-8-7-4-2
Winton Harness Race 4
5 Rise Up N Dance
One of the more frustrating pacers in Southland, Rise Up N Dance (#5) has the motor to be a very good country cup type horse but often lets himself down. That said, this is well below some of the fields he has taken on and even in a fresh state it would be no surprise to see him win.
Selections: 5-8-9-12-6
Winton Harness Race 5
1 Saucy Delight
Proved pretty costly for punters on the trip to Addington did Saucy Delight (#1) but there's perhaps one last chance to get a bit back here today. The one draw is interesting, it'll either work or it won't but if it does then expect a winning turn.
Selections: 1-3-13-12-9
Winton Harness Race 6
11 Tarragindi
One of the most progressive young trotters in the land, Tarragindi (#11) brings some outstanding form back down south from Canterbury including a strong victory last time out. Bigger fish to fry this time in for sure, but he'll be here to win and the master in the bike can get him home.
Selections: 11-4-1-5-7
Winton Harness Race 7
8 Ten Da Touch
As honest as the day is long is Ten Da Touch (#8), simply doesn't know how to run a bad race. Will have to do some work from the outside of the front line here, but capable of doing that and out-toughing his rivals in the run to the line.
Selections: 8-2-5-3-1
Winton Harness Race 8
7 Always B Batman
TIP OF THE DAY
Promising three-year-old Always B Batman (#7) returns back to the home province after two very tidy efforts behind the sharp Bar Louie up in Canterbury. Given a bit of time after those runs and a good workout run to dust of the cobwebs. Ready to fire here.
Selections: 7-13-8-9-11
Winton Harness Race 9
7 Aint No Angel
She worked to the lead to win last time out and Aint No Angel (#7) might have to do the same again here to repeat the dose. She's more than capable. Loves getting on the top end and bowling along and if she finds the markers today, they'll need to be good to beat her.
Selections: 7-9-5-1-6
Winton Harness Race 10
1 Emily
A very deserved win last time out for Emily (#1) after a string of excellent placings. No reason why she can't go back-to-back here either. Will ping away and put herself on the speed and with a bit of pace on she can out-tough her rivals in the run to the line.
Selections: 1-5-4-9-10
Winton Harness Race 11
7 Bobbies Rock
Put a line through the last run from Bobbies Rock (#7) and take a good pointer for today out of the run two starts back. Likely to look to roll forward here today and if he was to find the front and perhaps take a sit behind the right one it wouldn't be a surprise to see him slingshot and win.
Selections: 7-8-10-1-4
