August 30 - last chance for the month

Hey All

Memsie Stakes day, the first group 1 of the new season - a great day of racing

Little loss last week -4.5 units so -60 overall for the month and the season now. Hoping to turn things around today with plenty of good horses running

Wiped out with my best with a 2nd and an incredibly unlucky 4th on protest - Better Land should have won the race easily

Today's Best

Caulfield Race 1 - 4 Amicus

Comes down from Sydney for Waller and finds a very winnable race

Rosehill - Race 4 - 1 Oh So Adorable

Very good first up, has won on the heavy and the 3kg claim helps heaps

Good luck if you're having a bet

August 23 - hoping to bounce back

Hey All

Racing can be incredibly frustrating at times and last week was one of those. Nothing went quite to plan and I ended up having a shocker after going in feeling pretty good about my selections.  I'm now well behind for the season but it's early days with plenty of time to turn things around.

August 16 -65 units
Overall -55.5 units

On a more positive note, one of my 2 best won so they keep going well


Today's best

Moonee Valley Race 3 - 3 Solsay

Loves the track, loves the distance and gets the run of the race up on the pace.  Looks beautifully placed in this and will be a better price due to there being a few others people will give a chance

Randwick Race 3 - 7 Better Land

Always tricky with young horses on heavy tracks but this one was a cracking run last start and won it's first on a heavy.  Needs a win to qualify for the Golden Rose and I think he gets that here.

Good luck if you're having a bet

August 16 - Spring is just around the corner

Hey All

Another small win last week to go back to back with thanks to Tony and Jake Noonan combining with Zevada to get me there in the lucky last.

+ 5 units for the week
+ 9.5 units for the year

1 of my 2 best got home in Sweet Idea so that's 3 out of 4 now for the season.

Today's best

Caulfield Race 2 - 6 Lord Durante

Looks to get a soft lead here and although the last little bit will be a worry I think he is the one. Beat the other favourite in Bagman last time they met and will again despite the 1.5kg weight turn-around

Rosehill Race 6 - 5 Entirely Platnium

Huge worry today in Sydney is the weather, when will the rain arrive and how much of it will there be???  This one should win either way - settles on the pace and is too classy for these

Good luck to anyone having a bet

August 9 - 2nd up from a spell

Hey All

Small win last week thanks to not getting on Liberation which lost the first in Sydney on protest.  Funny how things work

4.5 units up for the year

Both my best bets posted here won last week, shame no one saw them :)

Best for this week are

Flemington Race 2 - 3 Eclair Samba

Has form behind Backbone which won well last start.  Track, distance and conditions all suit - looks very hard to beat

Randwick Race 6 - 7 Sweet Idea

While I'd love to see Rebel Dane win for the Laurel Oak crew I think Sweet Idea will lead here and run it at a steady early pace making it hard for the horses looking for further, which most are.  She is classy enough to win this

Should be a fascinating race and a great first look at some of the big spring chances.

Really looking forward to the races today, best of luck if you're having a bet

August 2nd - Let's Go

Hey All

First meetings for me for the new season and I'm set to roll.  Hoping to get off to a positive start.

Best for today are

Moonee Valley Race 9 - 7 Jessy Belle

Is racing in great form, winner at the track and distance no issues with the slow track - looks beautifully placed

Rosehill Race 8 - 3 Moral Victory

Last start winner at the track and distance that only goes up .5Kg after the claim and should either lead or take the sit.

Best of luck if you're having a bet
