Our harness racing tipsters are certainly in the doldrums at the moment.
Last week was one of the worst since we started the ringaround and with the meetings this week it might not get any better.
Last week just Mark Jones and Scott Phelan tipped out winners and we only managed another four placings over the whole weekend.
We can only look forward when it is as bad as that and this week we have four meetings and we have selections for them all.
Addington – Thursday night
Blair Orange – Thinks River Black will very hard to beat in race 1
Brad Williamson – Likes the chances of Western Art in race 2
Peter Scaife – Reckons Happy Heidi, drawn on the back of Western Art will win race 2
