Hi fellas. 

How do you want to go about this? I can list them now or do you prefer Raceday? I’ve also got 3 “ Emergencies” ready to go in case of scratchings. 

@Wadda We Sing raise the bat mate! 3000 likes!!

Its up to you DZ. Whenever you want to doesnt bother me. You can make late adjustments for scratchings if they occur.

I note your team the panthers are still 1.85 against the 2.00 away side on the bottom of the NRL ladder Cowboys at your home ground tomorrow night. Are you able to make anything out of that?

Yep 4 sure. just thinking out loud really. Even just making notes for myself, so i remember.

Are your mates doing the weekly multi this week Macca?

Hey im on 3000 likes.....shucks. :)

 

Yeah ... but we won't start talking about it until tomorrow night.  I haven't even had a look yet but will probably go at the Super Rugby again.  

I'm envisaging some more NBA,  AFL & NRL from the other 3 but who knows?

Whenever DZ ... the last 2 picks are your domain. 

The 'Get On' crew like Savacool & Think Bleue especially but 'Gator' has 'Temple of Bel on top of Sopressa if that's any help.

Injuries Wadda. They lost their young gun fullback for the season last weekend. Already missing Cleary, Mansour and Blake. They are arguably their best 4 players.

JJ's has tipped Sopressa and then Savacool in the Oaks. 

And he is leaning towards Catchy in the Robert Sangster (reading between the lines) Mentioned that barrier 8 is a good one for the horse with the 400m dash to the turn.  

Anyway,  here's our trifecta ...

  • W/2/3  -  Savacool
  • W/2/3  -  Think Bleue
  • W/2/3  -  Sopressa
  • 2/3       -  Pleasuring
  • 2/3       -  Temple Of Bel

I've got 2 best-bets in Wadda ... the other 2 might take a day or so though.  One mate has gone early and my Super Rugby tip kinda jumped out at me at first glance.  I'll post up the other 2 tips when I get 'em in.

  • Cronulla (1-12) over the Parramatta Eels  $2.75
  • Waratahs (1-12) over the Auckland Blues  $3.10

My best bet for the weekend - I need to get back on the winners list so I'm going to go with JJ's best bet - decent odds too!

Morphettville  Race 2  No.8  Silent Warrior  $4.00

Turns out they did get a bit of rain in Adelaide yesterday.

A Soft6 at the moment but quite windy ... could get back to a Good4 but a Soft5 is a possibility (according to the 'Experts')

Well,  Silent Warrior should win then ... because JJ is due?  Glass half full here Wadda.  

I watched the 2 preview shows on fast-forward last night and then listened out for the best bet on RSN this morning and the consensus tip is 'Land of Plenty' in the 7th at Flemington tomorrow (No.8)

I like land of Plenty but its pretty short. The track says good 4 atm to answer my own question, i didnt notice they put it on the guide there on Racenet.

He certainly is due.

3rd tip in ... 

Wells Fargo Championship - Geoff Ogilvy Top 10 finish ... paying $8.00

He is currently tied for 7th at -3 ... three shots off the lead. 

One for the 'wider' exotics.

Sportsbet is my standby betting agency when Ladbrokes fall short with the options.  They've got the golf top 10 up and available. 

We look to get around 15-1 up to 25-1 for the first 3 tips in one bet and then add on the golf tip in another bet to win big.  Small outlay of course so the risk is negligible.

The 'Land Of Plenty' tip from the pundits is more to alert those reading this thread that it could be used as an add-on for multi punters. 

I'll throw it into a few 3 race multi's.  I reckon 3 is about enough with the horses but they're are still very hard to get.  Again,  low risk with a small outlay.

Got word back that it will probably be NBA Sunday (our time) ... could be anything though Wadda.  When it comes through I'll post it up. 

I'm also looking forward to the 4 big races from overseas ... late tomorrow I'll post up the links again but I've picked out my choices after finding a bit more info. 

Knowing a fair bit about the runners makes watching the races all that more worthwhile - and of course having a wager on them more so again.

Best Bet: Morphetville R8 No1 Savapinski.

TAB odds $3.10

Good run first up and I thought the horse had a very good spring. Should be able to lead from barrier 7 and might be hard to catch.

Haven't done form for today (as i have said my Autumn has finished) so no best bets but my thoughts on today's group races based on recollection of the exposed form of the horses through Autumn.

You have to give Qualista a good chance today. Like Savacool, a horse that always runs well. Gets out in front and challenges other horses to catch it and i've said before on this thread i really like good horses that sit on the speed.

Similarly Sprightly Lass is terrific race horse that does not know how to run a bad race. Looks good value i reckon. Desert Lashes will surely test it though. A good horse.  

I backed Savapinski last start and it looks to deserve favoritism. But perhaps a little short? I backed Jester Halo and odds last start and it blundered the start, which is always poor but worse when it is a horse that likes to sit on the speed. Came home against the pattern for a fighting 4th and if it gets away allright today has to be chance. Has 3.5kg pull in the weights from Savapinski and due a win.

Coming Through is really good horse and deserves favoritism in the Hollindale i would have thought but i would not be shocked if Oregon Day runs a bold race. Has been there or thereabouts this Autumn in four group races without winning (three very close seconds and last start 2.9 length 4th to Alizee). At each way odds.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
