Ok im going early. Ace has drifted out to 15/1. Thats enough to make me think there is something up or they are just putting it in for a run. or they are setting it for the next race......Somebody may also want to take Kentamari .......

I am going with Merchant Navy in the Newmarket R6 Flemington. I like this horse, hes down in the weights good barrier, strike rate 7:5.0.1

Theres a lot of talent n the race, but $5.00 is pretty good and thereabouts for our best. Will need some luck and Redkirk is a big danger. Hopefully the weight might get him across the line.

 

 

Continuing my theme of looking for the class horse which is the best horse I'll go with 'Kementari' in the Randwick Guineas as my best bet. 

Found a few standouts at Morphettville & Ascot but they are just good horses in inferior fields.  We've got the 2 best bets so far so it's over to @Demon77 & @binman

Here are the 2 best bets so far ...

Flemington  Race 6  No.11  Merchant Navy (5.50)

Randwick  Race 7  No.3  Kementari  (2.90)

Nice one Macca, love your work.... had a feeling as soon as i take out Ace High, that stands out a mile. (although Ace High the place is very tempting).....So does Gailo Chop actually. Weight for Age sniper ive been reading and at 3.00 its right up there.

Is it 5.50 now? Tab.....i was looking at Racenet.

You can get $6 for Merchant Navy at Ladbrokes (enhanced odds)

And I also like Gailo Chop in the Australian Cup Wadda whilst also being concerned with Redkirk Warrior and Brave Smash in the Newmarket but ... Merchant Navy (52kgs) has only ever carried 55.5kgs up to 58kgs.

With the other 2 best bets to come I will be doing the 4 trebles ... we're due for at least 3 of the 4 to get up.  Just a small outlay on each but the combined odds will be a lot better this week.

Spot on....i like those 2 into Gailo Chop as well.....takes it out to close to 48/1. Seriously good odds for those 3.

Yep ... with the odds booster I just got 47-1 for the 3 saluting.  As you said Wadda,  that is excellent combined odds for 3 very classy racehorses. 


Sorry fellas on a quick break. I like Merchant Navy a lot but I’m glad @Wadda We Sing picked it because I can count my winners down the straight over the years on the one hand.

Im having trouble so far but plenty of time left to find a “spesssshallll”.?

Its not easy this week. Plenty of good horses in every race......more of a pick and hope week i reckon.

I browsed through Sydney and Melbourne and there’s definitely some great value on offer.

Ace High seems to be getting the wobbles in the markets. Out to $14 as of tonight. He’s drawn well and could easily find himself in the first few on the fence. Show A Star (Race 9 Syd) has drawn poorly again and although the $8 is tempting it’s best to wait on him at this stage. Some real shorties going around in the sprint races in Sydney.

At this early stage Shillelagh (R7 Flemington) looks a good bet at $4.20.

Edit: Brave Smash back in distance.....hmmm? Craig Williams suggested this according to a news story I came across a few days ago.

'Show a Star is also entered in the 200k Canberra Cup on Sunday ... currently showing 4.60. 

In fact,  there are a few horses entered for both Randwick & Canberra.  The Black Opal Stakes for 2yo's is now worth 300k as compared to the 2 Randwick races for 2yo's which are both also worth 300k. 

Edited by Macca

I was torn between two runners for “Best”.

Shillelagh and Gailo Chop.

Best Bet: Flemington Race 8 No.4 Gailo Chop.

Odds: $3.00

Shillelagh is the highest rated horse in her race and her form reads better than it shows. Samovare (favourite) worried me out of it.

Went with the Chop as he has been earmarked for this all along and you can’t fault him at the moment. I go back to a Caulfield review of a few weeks ago when the experts stated he would be extremely hard to beat in the Australian Cup.

 I noticed he’s drifted a tad to the $3 mark as Almandin has come in from $6 to $5.50 in the last 24 hours.

Enjoyable viewing coming up on Saturday and go the Dees!!

Some feedback from my Santos mate. There was a very strong head wind last week at Randwick and Santos faced the brunt of it during the run. It was a very tough and gutsy win as the horse looked like he might get swamped with about 100-200m to go.

Top pick D77.......Chop Chop......Ok so that makes 3 runners at odds of around 47/1...again i will get on early as they could come in....

They will all run.

Yeah, he had no cover for most of the race, hence connections being ecstatic with the win. 

I thought Caulfield was the only track where the wind causes chaos.

Well maybe he is a good thing for the Slipper?..........just got to be careful with the hype tho..odds are good, so you can back a few....still 11s?

It’d be nice to get this one home. Since you have given us the Newmarket winner I’ve decided on Merchant Navy/Brave Smash quinella/exacta.?

Well....you’ve said it before. Any Gai runner is a chance, like on here, my mate knows there are some very talented sprinters in the race.

Yeah, $11W $3.50P currently.( TAB)

Terrific value at $11 but you’d have to go back to 2009 for a horse (Phelan Ready) at double figure odds winning the Slipper. 

That’s a good question, I’m not sure the number of legs permitted for a horse multi. I’ve only tried a max of 4.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
