We're due for a change of order for the trifecta combo as well.

How does this look - we all rotate one spot and we go with the new order for 4 weeks (?)

  • W/2/3 - Dee Zephyr
  • W/2/3 - Wadda We Sing
  • W/2/3 - Macca
  • 2/3 - binman
  • 2/3 - binman

Looks good Macca, I’m happy to go with that.

While I’m at it, here’s my Best Bet:

Flemington Race 6 No.1 Rich Charm. $3.00Tab

A return to winning ways last start after being far from disgraced earlier in the Autumn. Likes the track and distance , goes very well on the soft and even if it dries out, the horse has won half his starts on a good track.

Interestingly, Udyta Clarke resisted running in the G1 Goodwood this weekend and opted for Flemington. Clarke stated she didn’t want to draw barrier 1,2 or 3 down the straight but I’m willing to put my JJ hat on and back what I feel is a classy horse.

Here’s the latest on Rich Charm.

    Happy with picking the place horse, particularly in a 200 metre race.  That distance sorts the wheat from the chaff a bit and unlike in 1600 metre races don't get those pesky 1400 metre horses that get a good run and snag a place.

    Just had a quick look at the filed. Pretty strong.

    Good luck!

    I might be playing it safe but Oregon’s Day is my selection. Untried at the 2000m but after watching her last start win it suggests the extra 200 shouldn’t be an issue. Terrific win pulling away impressively late.

    Looking at all her form, the mare seems quite versatile in regards to settling positions and from barrier 2 J Byrne shouldn’t have an issue gaining a good position from the jump.

    Great pick and a crowd favourite. Go Udyta.

    btw theyve put the call out for extras in Michelle Paynes film......if you feel like starring..

    Ok Doomben Cup im going to stick my neck out here, its a tough race with many winning chances. Im going for the Darren Weir horse, No10 Tradesman $14.00. Its had 3 runs in and won its last start, Its got 2 from 2 at the distance. Its as good a chance as any in this. Weir dont put em in just for the run.

    Yes please Wadda, can you get me an audition? My towering height of 170cm should easily get me a gig as a jock. 

    Nice pick btw, good value.

    Satono Rasen is my pick but not with any confidence ... this race has 'Box5' written all over it.  The good news is that it could well be a healthy dividend. 

    So it is back to you to finish things off BM ... good luck.

    i dont have the guide in front of me but i think that was one of the Japanese horses from that name? If so good, glad we picked one of them.

    I could find quite a few that can get into the finish in the race but no standout winners ... but that's just me.  It is more like a Group 2 race in that sense. 

    The 3 we've nominated all have claims though Wadda.  The Goodwood race is all the more harder to figure out.  I'm not sold on Vega Magic yet it is JJ's best bet.

    Are his bets up? Or was that on TV somewhere? Its drawn the carpark in a short race......it would want to get across pretty quick.

    Watch out for VOODOO LAD. :)

    It is a 400m - 500m straight dash from the barriers to the turn at Morphettville but even though Vega Magic is a fast starter it still may be caught wide with so many decent sprinters in the race. 

    The race is a bit of a lottery to be perfectly honest but Voodoo Lad has real claims.

    So do they win out of turn Wadda?  It seems that way sometimes.

    I reckon a lot of my best bets have won their next races rather than the one I nominated them for ?

    Yes as soon as i posted, he kicked one and the Swans got up in the end. Lets hope Charlie Spargo has a day out soon. He looks to have a few party tricks up his sleeve.

    Which brings me to this weeks multi.

    Morphetville Race 4 Tequila Time Plc  $1.55 (must run a place)

    Melbourne 1-39 pts $2.12    (because we never thrash teams) (yet)!

    Melbourne Storm +13 pts $1.57 (will smash them at home)

    Port Adelaibe/ Adelaide Crows Either side by less than 15.5 pts. $2.60 (SA Darby nearly always goes down to the wire)

    Fremantle H2H $1.48 (will smash the Saints over there after we demoralized them last week)

    St George Illawarra $1.60 (Side going very strong atm)

    Geelong Cats 1-39 $2.24 (close one but Cats to get up over the pies at Cat park) (only Sydney and Melbourne can beat them down there)

    $71.15 for your $1.00 outlay.

    Ok so last weeks Super Multi was close but no cigar and guitar. 2 legs wrong.

    Melbourne proved me wrong and thrashed Gold Toast and St George had an upset loss to the Rabbitohs. But the Darby was 5pts in the end and the Storm got up by 14pts as well.

    So onto this weeks:

    Melbourne 40+  $2.02

    North Melbourne 1-39  $2.15

    Geelong Cats @ line -30.5  $1.92

    Melbourne Storm H2H  $1.50

    Cronulla Sharks H2H  $1.50

    Flemington R 6 No 1 Rich Charm plc  $1.45

    Morphettville R 2 No1 Tequila Time W  $2.60

     

    Thats $70.31 for your $1.00.

    Nice going there Wadda ... hope you get it.

    Waiting on the others with their sporting best bets but I'm giving the Waratahs another chance at home against strong opposition. 

    Tahs (1-12) over the Highlanders $3.75

    And my best bet is ...

    Rosehill Race 9 No.2  Noire  $3.30

    Trained by Waller and also, the Sky Thoroughbred crew like its chances as well. 

    The 3 adds up to about 22-1 combined in a multi.

    Ok. I'll take Coming Though for place. The type of horse i really like. Gives you a good sight very time and rarely runs a bad race. Started fav last start and never really got out but was only 2.5 lengths behind the very impressive winner Oregon Day (who i tipped).

    Is 12 4-2-1 in the good ground. Comes in ok at the weights carrying 59 as a 108 rater, though not nearly as well as Oregon Day who is carrying 2kgs less and is only 3 rating point behind at 106

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
