Race comment
OVERVIEW: Most, or possibly all, truly committed punters eventually ingest and accept the concept that trends, while often illogical and immeasurable definitely exist. Winning streaks are real and losing streaks are real. Perhaps it’s Higgs Boson, better known as the God Particle, at work. Perhaps Chaos Theory. Either way, tonight’s trend is simple. Nothing, not one thing, in all 10 races on one of Harness Racing’s greatest nights makes sense. In many ways the bedlam that defines this programme is beautiful; and it all starts right here in race one. The first issue is a front line bereft of an obvious leader and several runners with similar early speed. Hopefully, this scenario inspire Jimmy ‘Love Bug” Herbertson to rush forward with last start Metrospective (SEN Track) Black Booker OPERATIVE LINE (6). Last weekend, in a similar contest to this, and a very similar draw, OPERATIVE LINE (6) went back early and hit the line like a steam train late. Tonight, if encouraged, he’s a huge chance of finding the front and while the risk involved with playing that card is significant he looks the one to roll if fortune favours the brave. Sadly, for those wanting a cheap kill early, however, there are dangers. Half a dozen of them. Leading the charge is HES CHARLIES ANGEL (10) who rediscovered his Mojo when dropping in grade last start and DAMYSUS (3) whose shooting for three on the bounce and would likely brain these if he located enough early zip to hold those outside him wide and work on to the front. Then there’s DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) who is crazy EW odds from an ideal alley, POST GAME (8) who will also relish an ice-cold journey, MIRAKURU (9) who has most of these covered for class when on song and MONA MIA (12) who will relish racing in this class but can’t afford to give away precious meterage by trailing the field as the mobile rolls as is often the case. EARLY SPEED: 1,4?,6? + 2,3 RATINGS: 6/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 8/ 9/ 12/ 4/ 5/ 2/ 7/ 11

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Most, or possibly all, truly committed punters eventually ingest and accept the concept that trends, while often illogical and immeasurable definitely exist. Winning streaks are real and losing streaks are real. Perhaps it’s Higgs Boson, better known as the God Particle, at work. Perhaps Chaos Theory. Either way, tonight’s trend is simple. Nothing, not one thing, in all 10 races on one of Harness Racing’s greatest nights makes sense. In many ways the bedlam that defines this programme is beautiful; and it all starts right here in race one. The first issue is a front line bereft of an obvious leader and several runners with similar early speed. Hopefully, this scenario inspire Jimmy ‘Love Bug” Herbertson to rush forward with last start Metrospective (SEN Track) Black Booker OPERATIVE LINE (6). Last weekend, in a similar contest to this, and a very similar draw, OPERATIVE LINE (6) went back early and hit the line like a steam train late. Tonight, if encouraged, he’s a huge chance of finding the front and while the risk involved with playing that card is significant he looks the one to roll if fortune favours the brave. Sadly, for those wanting a cheap kill early, however, there are dangers. Half a dozen of them. Leading the charge is HES CHARLIES ANGEL (10) who rediscovered his Mojo when dropping in grade last start and DAMYSUS (3) whose shooting for three on the bounce and would likely brain these if he located enough early zip to hold those outside him wide and work on to the front. Then there’s DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) who is crazy EW odds from an ideal alley, POST GAME (8) who will also relish an ice-cold journey, MIRAKURU (9) who has most of these covered for class when on song and MONA MIA (12) who will relish racing in this class but can’t afford to give away precious meterage by trailing the field as the mobile rolls as is often the case. EARLY SPEED: 1,4?,6? + 2,3 RATINGS: 6/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 8/ 9/ 12/ 4/ 5/ 2/ 7/ 11

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Most, or possibly all, truly committed punters eventually ingest and accept the concept that trends, while often illogical and immeasurable definitely exist. Winning streaks are real and losing streaks are real. Perhaps it’s Higgs Boson, better known as the God Particle, at work. Perhaps Chaos Theory. Either way, tonight’s trend is simple. Nothing, not one thing, in all 10 races on one of Harness Racing’s greatest nights makes sense. In many ways the bedlam that defines this programme is beautiful; and it all starts right here in race one. The first issue is a front line bereft of an obvious leader and several runners with similar early speed. Hopefully, this scenario inspire Jimmy ‘Love Bug” Herbertson to rush forward with last start Metrospective (SEN Track) Black Booker OPERATIVE LINE (6). Last weekend, in a similar contest to this, and a very similar draw, OPERATIVE LINE (6) went back early and hit the line like a steam train late. Tonight, if encouraged, he’s a huge chance of finding the front and while the risk involved with playing that card is significant he looks the one to roll if fortune favours the brave. Sadly, for those wanting a cheap kill early, however, there are dangers. Half a dozen of them. Leading the charge is HES CHARLIES ANGEL (10) who rediscovered his Mojo when dropping in grade last start and DAMYSUS (3) whose shooting for three on the bounce and would likely brain these if he located enough early zip to hold those outside him wide and work on to the front. Then there’s DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) who is crazy EW odds from an ideal alley, POST GAME (8) who will also relish an ice-cold journey, MIRAKURU (9) who has most of these covered for class when on song and MONA MIA (12) who will relish racing in this class but can’t afford to give away precious meterage by trailing the field as the mobile rolls as is often the case. EARLY SPEED: 1,4?,6? + 2,3 RATINGS: 6/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 8/ 9/ 12/ 4/ 5/ 2/ 7/ 11

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Most, or possibly all, truly committed punters eventually ingest and accept the concept that trends, while often illogical and immeasurable definitely exist. Winning streaks are real and losing streaks are real. Perhaps it’s Higgs Boson, better known as the God Particle, at work. Perhaps Chaos Theory. Either way, tonight’s trend is simple. Nothing, not one thing, in all 10 races on one of Harness Racing’s greatest nights makes sense. In many ways the bedlam that defines this programme is beautiful; and it all starts right here in race one. The first issue is a front line bereft of an obvious leader and several runners with similar early speed. Hopefully, this scenario inspire Jimmy ‘Love Bug” Herbertson to rush forward with last start Metrospective (SEN Track) Black Booker OPERATIVE LINE (6). Last weekend, in a similar contest to this, and a very similar draw, OPERATIVE LINE (6) went back early and hit the line like a steam train late. Tonight, if encouraged, he’s a huge chance of finding the front and while the risk involved with playing that card is significant he looks the one to roll if fortune favours the brave. Sadly, for those wanting a cheap kill early, however, there are dangers. Half a dozen of them. Leading the charge is HES CHARLIES ANGEL (10) who rediscovered his Mojo when dropping in grade last start and DAMYSUS (3) whose shooting for three on the bounce and would likely brain these if he located enough early zip to hold those outside him wide and work on to the front. Then there’s DIAMOND ECLIPSE (1) who is crazy EW odds from an ideal alley, POST GAME (8) who will also relish an ice-cold journey, MIRAKURU (9) who has most of these covered for class when on song and MONA MIA (12) who will relish racing in this class but can’t afford to give away precious meterage by trailing the field as the mobile rolls as is often the case. EARLY SPEED: 1,4?,6? + 2,3 RATINGS: 6/ 10/ 3/ 1/ 8/ 9/ 12/ 4/ 5/ 2/ 7/ 11
