Day 39 - Diva Day :)

Morning All,

Boxing Day is always an interesting day, more so this year though. Two reasons - firstly the cricket is on at the MCG the same as normal only this time Australia is going into the match trailing the series vs South Africa 1 - 0 with 2 games to play. Australia has dominated for a long time which made things a little boring in some ways so at least now it's more exciting to watch again - GO THE AUSSIES

The second is Soul Diva is racing :)

I mentioned her a few weeks back when she last raced. I lease 5% of the mare and she's been a great - unfortunately this preparation they aimed a bit higher with her and she didn't really cope, so it's been very frustrating watching her go around and get beat. I'm hoping, and pretty confident, that today is the day she gets back into the winners stall.

Ok, here we go then - my boxing day bets

Bank 1

Bet 3 Caulfield Race 2 - 1 Soul Diva

It's a pretty even bunch but if she can find any of her old form she should win this one today. She's been freshened up and is back to the 1800m which should be ideal. Blinkers are going on for the first time and they seem to have given her a bit more focus. Most importantly, she's got a dry track again which she loves and is way down in class on what she's been facing. Should get around $5 so let's hope she gets this bank rolling again :)

Bet 4 Randwick Race 7 - 3 Ready to Lift

Won the traditional lead up to this race - The Christmas Cup - by 2 lengths beating most of those he faces today. That was on a wet track but has won on the dry before so that's not a problem. Looks very well in and is being backed. Dangers are Nuclear Sky, Zazabeau and Danzibaa.

Bank 2

Bet 104 NBA Mavs vs Trail Blazers @ $2.80
Bet 105 NBA Cavs - 14.5 vs Wizards @ $1.86

Have a wonderful day All - GO THE DIVA :)
