Harness Racing this weekend

Related Articles
Another big weekend in Harness Racing sees Group 1s run at Melton and Menangle. There is also action from across the ditch at Alexandria Park.

We start with the Australian Pacing Gold for the 2 year old fillies tonight at Melton. The unbeaten Courageousquick will start well into the red and is currently favourite at $1.40 at Luxbet after cruising home in the semi-final. Her main competition is likely to come from the winner of the other semi-final Musical Delight ($3), who found it just as easy. 

Over in New Zealand the trotters do battle in the Group 1 Anzac Trotting Cup. Two time reigning Inter Dominion winner, I Can Doosit ($1.55) is naturally the one to beat despite drawing the tricky position of inside 2nd row. Springbank Richard ($12),  Raydon ($6) and Stig ($12 ) are the main threats, but they'll have to be at their very best to take down the champion.

Saturday night sees Menangle take centre stage with 5 Group races including 3 Group 1s. The NSW Derby for the 3 year olds is first up, with the placings to be fought out between  Ideal Scott ($2.50), Scandalman ($4.80) and Smolda after all 3 won impressively in their heats. Look for some value in roughie Regal Knight ($31) after he came home strong to run 2nd to Ideal Scott in his heat. 

The Chariots of Fire will see Sushi Sushi ($2.30) hoping to bounce back from 3 straight seconds and regain some of the form he showed earlier in his career when he was touted as the sport's next superstar. Hands Christian ($4) will be looking to back up his defeat of Sushi Sushi in the Adios Stakes. Ohokas Bondy ($7) and Excel Stride ($4.20) will also be there to provide some heat. Smoken Up ($1.8) will look to continue his dominace at Menangle over the mile as the Lance Justice driven Gelding aims to win his 4th Len Smith Mile. Can Return Fire ($9), Lincoln Royal ($6.50), Franco Jamar ($5.5) and Pembrook Benny ($8.50) offer the main competition.
