Winton Harness Race 1
6 Rise Up N Dance
He's burnt us so many times before but surely there is literally no better opportunity for Rise Up N Dance (6) to make his way back into the winners' circle than today. Has competed in far better fields than this in his career and done well. Just lacking that really powerful blow in his races but might not need it today.
Selections: 6-4-2-7-8
Winton Harness Race 2
1 Franco Seb
TIP OF THE DAY
Small fish are sweet and while you're not getting much meat on the bone for Franco Seb (1) it's enough to use as an anchor throughout the day. He's been very good in three runs to the races and in much better fields too. Ace draw means he should lead up and win this no worries.
Selections: 1-2-6-5-3
Winton Harness Race 3
8 Majestic Challen
Off the back of an excellent third in behind Axel Rose last time out, Majestic Challen (8) looks a strong hope here. Racing in foal and mares often find a pep in their step when that happens. She certainly did last time. A repeat of that has her winning.
Selections: 8-1-4-3-9
Winton Harness Race 4
1 Bowlem Over
Handy enough efforts of late from Bowlem Over (1) and his win two starts back was in a better field than this. Chance to jump from the ace today and look to run them into the deck and if he doesn't cop too much pressure than he can go all the way.
Selections: 1-4-6-8-7
Winton Harness Race 5
4 Side Hustle
Plenty of word around for Side Hustle (4) last week and it took a very good performance to better him. That doesn't look the case here today. Would expect him to be driven confidently and on what we've seen in his two runs, to win.
Selections: 4-3-2-6-7
Winton Harness Race 6
9 Anita Mary
Debutant from the Brett Gray stable, Anita Mary (9) has looked like an early winner fromn the moment she first stepped out in public. Very sharp turn of foot and while drawn wide here might have the game to overcome it and deliver on debut.
Selectons: 9-7-1-5-8
Winton Harness Race 7
7 Stranger Things
Lovely work late in the debut effort from Stranger Things (7) last week behind St Paddy and Side Hustle (Race 5). Showed enough there to suggest she's good enough to overcome the wide draw today and get the first win of her career without too much stress.
Selections: 7-6-3-2-1
Winton Harness Race 8
9 Bring On The Muscle
All at sea last time out when going a little rank on the home bend, Bring On The Muscle (9) gets a good chance to atone here. Best horse in the race and if he's trucking into it over the last lap then it will take a good performance to hold him out.
Selections: 9-8-7-5-6
Winton Harness Race 9
2 Flashpoint
Spent most of the last campaign chasing the likes of Marketplace and Five Crowns so Flashpoint should find this a nice wee race to resume in today. Has been hitting out nicely in public runs and with a small field and a good draw looks well in play.

Winton Harness Race 10
10 The Real Crunch
We haven't seen the best of The Real Crunch (10) this time in but get a golden opportunity to here today. Not a deep field and even off the second row should be close enough to them throughout to get the job done.
