Addington harness racing 'Fixed Odds' early money as at 10:00am raceday.
Race 1- The best backed runner at the meeting is McClinchie $1.65 – $1.50 with $2,200 at $1.65 the largest bet so far. McClinchie is also the best backed horse "number wise" in multi betting.
The rest of the field in race 1 is struggling to attract any early money which would suggest that the favourite McClinchie could close at around $1.40.
Race 2- Very little action early in the win 'book' and in multi bets in this race.
Just A Dude $7.00, Family Knight $28 and Shay Scott $8.00 are the best backed early.
Race 3- Only two runners they want in multi bets with Shineonucrazydiamond $2.10 leading over Never Say Never $3.00.
In the win 'book' Afterdinnerspeaker $13 – $9.00 is the best backed.
Race 4– She'sa Tricky Bridge $19 – $13 is best backed but in multi bets the best backed easily is Omar Shariff $2.05 over Rummage $2.10.
Race 5- This is the quietest race in the win 'book' early with the $2.00 favourite Perissa slightly leading multi bets over Vanhalem at $5.50.
Race 6- The only runner they want to be on early is Dana Duke $7.60 – $6.00 and he does lead multi bets over the last start unlucky runner in Croft Bay $4.20.
Dexter Dunn is back on Dana Duke and he has won on two of his three wins so doubt that's what is driving the early support.
Race 7- Solid early support on Twelve Monkeys has seen her odds move into $6.50 from $7.00 and she is the only runner attracting any early money. Best backed number wise in multi bets is Shpeedy $18 over Jean Sebastian $5.50.
Race 8- The second best backed runner at the meeting is Major Rocket $3.50 – $2.60 and she is the only runner wanted in multi bets.
Her current odds of $2.60 do look short but the early weight of win and multi money verse her rivals would suggest she could close at around $1.80 – $2.00.
Race 9- An even spread of win money but there isn't enough action to get a good line early as to where late money will come. The favourite The Publisher $2.30 is dominant in multi betting over Benji Mara $5.60.
In early multi betting number wise and in order:
McClinchie race 1
Major Rocket race 8
Omar Shariff race 4
Shineonyoucrazydiamond race 3
