Maryborough Harness Preview - Monday, August 24

Maryborough Harness Preview - Monday, August 24

• Ladbrokes Team
Craig Rail has done the form for today at Maryborough.   Race 1 OVERVIEW: KYVALLEY DIXON (7) is a quality filly, which has had two wins from her past three starts and looms as a strong winning chance again. She won convincingly over Remembrance Time at Melton on July 11 and won a trial at Kilmore on Tuesday. ALDEBARAN EMJAY (6) was a runaway winner on debut then competed in the Nutrien Classic, where she finished in fourth after trailing the leader, being in a clear third but broke stride on the home turn. She hasn’t raced since May but would have benefited from two recent trial efforts and will take beating if she is…

Mildura Harness Preview - Friday 21st August

• Ladbrokes Team
Mildura hosts Friday afternoon harness racing with seven races on offer. Craig Rail provides a race-by-race preview and tips. Race 1 OVERVIEW: JUST INCREDIBLE (6) is racing in great form and looms as the horse to beat. He worked hard in the run and went down fighting when a brave second behind the smart pacer Don Crunch at Mildura on August 07. STARVIN MARVIN (2) began quickly to lead and held off his rivals to win at Mildura two weeks ago and is a good chance of finding the lead again so he cannot be dismissed. CALF PEN (1) is racing well below his best form but this…

Redcliffe Harness Preview - Friday 21st August

• Ladbrokes Team
Oli Cownie’s preview feels inspired by The Reddy mantra of “pegs, pegs, pegs” as he breaks down Friday’s eight-race card at The Triangle. Check it out below! Race 1 MACH ASSASSIN (1) has good gate speed and should be able to drive through and lead in the early stages of this race. The last time he was able to lead he scored a good win at this track over the 1780. He should lead and be hard to run down. STUDLEIGH MARK (7) should get a good run through behind the leader in this race which was the same run…

Race 1 – Qbred 4yo & Older Up to Nr65 Pace No. 8 Punters Jewel Each Way COSMIC FLYER (10) looks one of the class runners in this field and comes up with a reasonable draw considering his racing pattern is generally to get back and run on. He was running on nicely late two starts ago when getting into third behind Rakasandy. HOT…

Kilmore Harness Preview - Thursday 20th August

Kilmore Harness Preview - Thursday 20th August

• Ladbrokes Team
Thursday night harness heads to Kilmore, where Craig Rail has the seven-race card covered with his preview, staking plan and quaddie numbers. Race 1 OVERVIEW: ALDEBARAN JAZMINE (5) has been freshened since a disappointing seventh at Kilmore in July. Her form prior was strong and she will take beating if she can return to her peak form. THE ITALIAN DREAM (6) finished off nicely when fourth behind BUSLIN BRODY (8) at Kilmore last week. She is trotting consistently and should be competitive again. BUSLIN BRODY (8) settled three back on the markers and finished off best via the sprint lane when he scored at Kilmore last week. He is awkwardly…

Albion Park Harness Preview - Thursday 20th August

Albion Park Harness Preview - Thursday 20th August

• Ladbrokes Team
Thursday night harness heads back to The Creek, where Oli Cownie has done the form for all nine races on the Albion Park card. Race 1 LOCHINVAR SON (5) showed good gate speed two starts ago to lead before handing over and was running on nicely into second not beaten far by Dingane. He appears to find a suitable race where he is reasonably well handicapped and should go close to winning.   ITS ALL RIGHT NOW (6) made a break early last time out and was taken out of play there as a result. He was a good winner three starts ago at this track and a similar effort…

Ballarat Harness Preview - Wednesday 19th August

Ballarat Harness Preview - Wednesday 19th August

• Ladbrokes Team
Craig Rail has taken a close look at Wednesday night’s Ballarat card, finding the key chances, best angles and plays for punters. Race 1 OVERVIEW: WAR ZONE (6) was very aggressively driven after commencing from the second row and peaked late when ninth at Melton last outing. He was a big winner at Melton on July 24 when he led throughout in a mile rate of 1.55.3 and he is a good chance of finding the lead again here so a bold showing is expected. BETTORSWEETVICTORY (9) raced without cover throughout and battled on well for fifth behind Madam Reactor at Shepparton eight days ago. She follows out…

Redcliffe Harness Preview - Wednesday 19th August

• Ladbrokes Team
Continue the week at The Triangle, with Redcliffe expert Oli Cownie breaking down Wednesday’s night’s nine-race card. Race 1 THE TIGER ARMY (2) has gate speed and should be able to find a prominent position in this race from a good draw. He was running on nicely late behind Rock Hammer last time out at this track.   LUKA DONCIC (1) has very little gate speed which could see him shuffled back in the early stages of this race. He was crossed last time out. He was running on late into third there behind Bling The Noise and a similar effort should see him thereabouts again.   ULTIMATE ARK (10) should…

• Ladbrokes Team
Start the week right at The Triangle, with Redcliffe expert Oli Cownie breaking down Monday night’s eight-race card. Race 1 DOCTA FEELGOOD (1) has the gate speed to lead in this race and generally does his best work out in front. He was forced to race without cover last time out and battled on well for seventh not beaten too far behind Western Bill. STUDLEIGH MARK (7) should get a good run through on the back of the likely leader in this race. Led last time out before handing over to Queen Lilibet before running second last time out. He…
