Harness racing fixed odds win movers from Oamaru as at 11:30am.
Race 1 – Punters only want to be on the $2.50 favourite Jana's Wishs which is no doubt on the back of her recent easy win at the Ashburton trials. The largest early bet is $600 at $2.50.
The second favourite Lindsay Castleton is at $2.80 but we expect his odds to drift as more late money will come for the favourite.
In multi bets the two favourites are the only runners wanted with double the number on.
Race 2 – Strong support early for the second favourite Floating On Eyre at $3.20 which is no surprise as it comes from the Barron brother's stable and Blair Orange drives.
She leads multi bets over the $3.00 favourite Gypsy's Choice.
Grey Skies at $3.70 is the only ther runner taking some early money.
Race 3 – A big mover early is Jay Yayz Boy $13 – $9.50 but all they want in multi betting is the $2.60 – $2.40 favourite Mr Sharkey another first starter from the Barron brother's stable.
Best backed in the win 'book' is Selling The Dream at $3.30
Race 4 – Another big morning mover is Hold On Arizona $24 – $12 and surprisingly she is the best backed runner early.

Race 5 – The only runner they want to be on here is Monty Python $4.80 – $4.60 with the largest bet $1,000 at $4.60.
The three opening favourites Tornado Valley, Ottawa and Monty Python are all equal in multi betting.
Race 6 – The $2.10 favourite Hopes And Dreams is easily the best backed runner.
There is some solid support for Cool Changes at $11 ion the win 'book' but multi wise he doesn't hold many tickets.

Mach's Terminator the $2.00 favourite dominates multi betting.
