The Zephyr at 7.50 for the place ... 'Handsome Thief' & 'El Sicario' scratched which means Milwaukee is now favourite.  The race has got a First4 feel about it with a few of the lightweights now in the betting. 

Can Dan deliver a payday for us? ... here is the field again

    The scratchings will aid his quest somewhat to break the streak Macca. A lot will need to go right for Dan to salute IMO. 

    It’s interesting they kept the horse at 1200m, with the way he hit the line I thought a step-up to 1400m would be ideal. 

    Looking forward to an enjoyable day in front of the box.

    Morning punters. Apologies for not putting up my best etc last couple of weeks. Have been flat out Sat mornings. Coincided with a scratchy couple of weeks for me on the punt so i can assure you did not miss much, though my value runner last week was Houtzen (which was just about my only winner).

    Another tough day in sydney. But big fields mean good vale so fingers crossed. So here are my tips, all at Randwick

     

    Best bet: Race 2  no 2 Isaurian 

    Best value:  Race 8  no 10 Aloft

    Best longshot: Race 6  n no 10 She’s a Treasure

    Good luck on what is really the last day of Autumn for me save a couple of races i like in Morphetville in the next couple of weeks.

    Here are the current 'Longines' World's Best Racehorse Rankings (up to April 8th)

    Plenty of Australian bred horses on the list and a number of familiar names from Hong Kong ... those who are interested may need to enlarge the page to read with more clarity.  Levendi is the latest Australian horse to make the elite list. 

    One would think that Winx will be the outright No.1 horse if she wins tomorrow.

    Viridine's a very good choice Wadda ... I'm as confident as ever with the 3 picks.  So much so that I just got on a 75-1!  That seems overs for 3 quality thoroughbreds all with excellent current form. 

    Here are the 3 Best Bets ...

    • Randwick  Race 5  No.1  Viridine  $3.50
    • Randwick  Race 6  No.2  Hiyaam  $5.50
    • Randwick  Race 8  No.1  Almandin $4.20

    Now we have Binmans Race 2 Lsaurian  $2.45. That gives us a total of approx 198/1.

    Lsaurian Plc $1.20

    Viridine  Plc $1.45

    Hiyaam Plc $1.85

    AlmandinPlc $1.70         Place multi is approx. 5.47/1

    I hadn't seen that but have backed it. I think i may have posted this before but Sportsbet have a seemingly standing offer of the first four races money back up to $50 if your horse finished 2-4. It always syd and melb but changes for the third venue. The week it is Morphetville so really getting each way with Music bay in a small field.

    I've done the form for Randwick with the thought it will suit horses on the speed and and sitting 2-3 of the fence (so favouring horses from barriers 8-13). It is one reason i also really like Hiyaam.

    In terms of trying to guess the pattern of races it is obviously a bit riky if you punt as i do which is putting all bets on at the start of the day. If i get the pattern wrong i struggle. Last week i read it the same and picking Houtzen was a result of that. But it actually ended up playing ok and horses from mid field had their chances and i couldn't sang any more. That said i had remarkable number of seconds last week (across 3 states). Five or six i think from memory.

    In an ideal world i would put the first couple on and get a read of the pattern and then adjust selections as required. But my model of punting with a mate doesn't allow that as neither of us can focus on the races enough during the day (other than listening to them) Determining bets between races can be very time consuming, even if you have done the form thoroughly and have narrowed selections down to a handful of chances (which is how i do form)

    What do think about Saint Valorems chances in the race Macca?

    I followed the horse last preparation without too much success.

    Hiyaam looked home for a moment there ... ran a race record but the winner too good.  Both horses were impressive. 

    So Bowman stitches us up twice ... that was nice of him!

    In the first 4 races, the winning jockeys in Adelaide have gone H Coffey/J Kah/H Coffey/ J Kah.

    Both ride decent chances in the next.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
