Race comment
OVERVIEW: AVANT GUARD (1) has been chasing superstar trotters recently, including the champ Keayang Zahara. His run in the Ballarat Trotters Cup recently behind Jilliby Dreamlover was very eye-catching, the way he hit the line. He doesn’t have high gate speed, so he will need luck, but he is performing so well. I AM WILMA (3) is first up this year after an outstanding 2025. She didn’t miss a placing the whole year and won the Vicbred Super Series and placed in the Trotters Oaks and Breeders Crown. She’s definitely a star. She’s had two trials to prepare her for this step up to race the older horses. REMUS PHOENIX (8) is a brilliant performer at his best, with some question marks recently about where he is at. He is the only horse on the second line, so he has options. At his best, he will be flying home late. MORE WANTED (5) has not won since 2024, but he’s been racing impressively at a high level. He always seems to meet one or two horses a bit better than him, but he always gives races his all, and he is a reliable runner. BACK: AVANT GUARD (1) – 2 units (win) For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose. For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit The odds quoted on the fields page are a Goodform computer generated price based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licenced bookmaker.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: AVANT GUARD (1) has been chasing superstar trotters recently, including the champ Keayang Zahara. His run in the Ballarat Trotters Cup recently behind Jilliby Dreamlover was very eye-catching, the way he hit the line. He doesn’t have high gate speed, so he will need luck, but he is performing so well. I AM WILMA (3) is first up this year after an outstanding 2025. She didn’t miss a placing the whole year and won the Vicbred Super Series and placed in the Trotters Oaks and Breeders Crown. She’s definitely a star. She’s had two trials to prepare her for this step up to race the older horses. REMUS PHOENIX (8) is a brilliant performer at his best, with some question marks recently about where he is at. He is the only horse on the second line, so he has options. At his best, he will be flying home late. MORE WANTED (5) has not won since 2024, but he’s been racing impressively at a high level. He always seems to meet one or two horses a bit better than him, but he always gives races his all, and he is a reliable runner. BACK: AVANT GUARD (1) – 2 units (win) For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: AVANT GUARD (1) has been chasing superstar trotters recently, including the champ Keayang Zahara. His run in the Ballarat Trotters Cup recently behind Jilliby Dreamlover was very eye-catching, the way he hit the line. He doesn’t have high gate speed, so he will need luck, but he is performing so well. I AM WILMA (3) is first up this year after an outstanding 2025. She didn’t miss a placing the whole year and won the Vicbred Super Series and placed in the Trotters Oaks and Breeders Crown. She’s definitely a star. She’s had two trials to prepare her for this step up to race the older horses. REMUS PHOENIX (8) is a brilliant performer at his best, with some question marks recently about where he is at. He is the only horse on the second line, so he has options. At his best, he will be flying home late. MORE WANTED (5) has not won since 2024, but he’s been racing impressively at a high level. He always seems to meet one or two horses a bit better than him, but he always gives races his all, and he is a reliable runner. BACK: AVANT GUARD (1) – 2 units (win) For all your harness form in one place go to goodform.thetrots.com.au ** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10 Chances are you’re about to lose.
