Addington Harness Race 1
10 Ultimate Seisation

Nothing wrong with any of the three runs back from a spell by 10 Ultimate Seisation and apart from the second row draw should probably be contesting favouritism in this field. Needs a little luck, but room early to extricate and with any luck can win this at a nice price. 
Selections: 10-8-4-6-11 

Addington Harness Race 2
5 Queen Tyron

Too bad to be true here last week from 5 Queen Tyron after receiving a nice trip in the lead. She's much better than that and it would be no surprise to see her dominate this field from start to finish. Few handy ones in here but she maps to be on the speed which is always key. 
Selections: 5-8-9-11-12 

Addington Harness Race 3
6 Tarragindi

One of the better young trotters in the country at the moment 6 Tarragindi continues to build beautifully toward three-year-old features later in the season. Lands in another winnable race tonight and with good manners should really be saluting. 
Selections: 6-8-5-10-4 

Addington Harness Race 4
6 Riptide

Only a short career to date but 6 Riptide is making plenty of good moves. Hasn't run a bad race and proving to be very consistent. Finds a nice race again and if able to get onto the speed and perhaps control this then should be well on the way to another victory. 
Selections: 6-13-3-2-12 

Addington Harness Race 5
7 Bettors Anvil

Good enough to mix it with Marketplace in the first half of the season, 7 Bettors Anvil resumes here and starts his build up toward some big challenges. Won't be 100 per cent screwed down yet but he is a class act and at somewhere near his best will be too good for this field. 
Selections: 7-2-3-5-9 

Addington Harness Race 6
4 Tact Teva

Outstanding training effort to have 4 Tact Teva ready to win in the manner he did first up after such a long time away from the track. Has always been a very handy horse and with troubles behind him will go on and do a good job. Good draw tips the scales in his favour here. 
Selections: 4-9-7-3-1 

Addington Harness Race 7
9 Tyron Eros

Really nice return to racing last week from 9 Tyron Eros. Wasn't bustled but found the line with a bit of purpose and looked like he'd take plenty of benefit from it. Manners always a watch with him but there's no doubting the ability and he could blast away with this in the right mood. 
Selections: 9-10-8-1-6 

Addington Harness Race 8
7 Lakelsa

TIP OF THE DAY
Not a lot of luck in two runs back from a spell for 7 Lakelsa but both runs have been full of merit. Less likely to strike trouble tonight and with clear air the right time her high speed makes her a dangerous prospect for rivals. Should really be saluting.
Selections: 7-8-4-2-1
