Speaking of which ... 'Despatch' is running around in race 9 at Flemington

Another scratching in the race Macca so one more needed for ‘El Magnificence’ to gain a start. Mate is very excited about the horse’s prospects. ‘Despatch’ holding favouritism currently.

Didn't realise it was the same race ... we don't want to be betting against each other!!

Forget Despatch ... go El Magnificence!

Maybe a trifecta race if I'm up on the day.

No biggie Macca. If the horse does gain a run I’ll be putting a few dollars each way on it at those odds and those races down the straight can throw a few bolters in the placings. A small trifecta or first 4 wouldn’t hurt. Mate is more excited about the horse’s future. 

 

 Best Bet: Doomben Race4 No.5 Sedanzer

TAB Odds: $2.90

Scone Cup winner two starts ago and a terrific finishing effort last start to place 3rd by less than 2 lengths. Dropping 2.5kg from last run and will carry 6kg less than Ambitious. Could be the difference if the track remains heavy.

Stradbroke Trifecta Selection.

Number 15 Perast. Odds- $7.00(W) $2.70(P)

The horse has definitely found some form with 2 wins in a row. Coming in with a light weight and has to be a decent chance to run a place.

Perast will find the lead and prove mighty hard to run down. But i think will be. Just.

I know that i am supposed to wait until you all make your selections, but i'm in a bit of a bind. I have to drive to Ballarat today (to sit in cold bball stadiums - my son has a tournament there this weekend).

I've done my form and made my selctions

I'll wait for a while and just before i go check if the selections are up. If not i'll put up my analysis and tips for the race (1-4) and if for instance the winner or a place getters matches other's selections just take the horses not covered (assuming there is one)?

I'm leaving just before 12.

Drop in for a coffee~! :)

I know its a bit of an outsider, but its a great horse. Im hoping it can get into the placings.

I like it too. Great first up record (7: 4 - 2), something i always put great stock in. Likes it soft (9: 4 - 4) and Weir really is a brilliant trainer. Above all a good racehorse

I worry that it might get too far back as i expect the race to favour those on speed and near the rail (i suspect Monstar and perst will vie for the lea, with Perast winning that mini battle)

Looks like there is 3 or 4 scratchings in the race now DZ, so El Magnifico will get a run.......$26 and $7.50 on ladbrokes

Best Bet: Doomben Race 3 No 1 Peaceful State TAB price $4.40


I'll take Santa Ana Lane in the Stradbroke.  Here's how we sit ...

 

 

Best Bets: 

Doomben Race4 No.5 Sedanzer    $2.90

Belmont Race 5 No. 4 Art Series  $7.00

Doomben Race 3 No. 1 Peaceful State $4.40

Thats a total of $89.00 approx for your $1.00 Good Punting

I have also put on a multi with 'Art Series' for the place only (with Sedanzer & Peaceful State to both win)  ... paying 30-1. 

In fact,  I have done a few place multi's today ... 'Heavenly Thought & Prompt Response also both offer decent odds for the place.  Might be the way to go today Wadda. 

The horses i marked for this race were Champagne Cuddles (on top) from (not in order) Perast, Voodoo lad , Impending, Invincible gem.

So given we have  Perast and Voodoo Lad already so for the DL trif i am going to select:

  • Champagne Cuddles
  • Invincible gem

Impending has to be a big show and i'm sure will run well. But the weight might stop him and Invincible Gem puts some value into the trif (although there is a bit in already)

Well Macca, as you know ive always been a fan of the place all up and multi. Theres always a few good ones to be found. Those ones of yours are certainly worth including in a few multis.

I also like Youngstar at Doomben Race 7 No16. Fillie whose won 4 on the trot, taking on the boys for the first time and drops 2kg in wieght $8.00 & $2.70. I also like French Emotion $3.70 plc in race 8.


Ok,  here's our 5 picks for the Stradbroke Handicap

  • Perast
  • Voodoo Lad
  • Santa Ana Lane
  • Champagne Cuddles
  • Invincible Gem

Lots of value there so good luck with however which way your betting strategy plays out.  If any 3 of the 5 feature in the finish the trifecta is sure to pay well.

Well,  we could always put together a place card Wadda ... another weekly task!  Only joking - we're doing quite enough already. 

Peaceful State put me out of my place multi but I decided to go again with the others as a saver bet.  Playing with house money as I did ok out of the 4th race at Doomben.

No idea what happened to Peaceful State...10th? Very poor run. Disappointing.

Well,  we missed with Super Cash but you can't have them all.   Whilst the lightweights stood out pre-race Santa Ana Lane was carrying 3 kgs less than its last run - and that was in a Group 1 race over 1200m.   Relished the going too. 

Healthy dividends in the exotics and once again the placings were filled by the classy types.  Close but no cigar.

2 dead heats today one at Flemington and one at Morphetville. Unusual.


Great run by El Magnificence. Right up there in a big field on a chopped up track. Big watch for the next race. Only its 3rd run, still learning. If hes any good, you may have to change your name DZ to Dee Magnifico !

Haha, Wadda.

Mate said the horse had done everything right leading up to today. They weren’t too sure how it would go first-up but it was a very good return in the end. Shows a lot of ability this horse and you would think a win is not too far away.

Yeah El Magnificence ran very well didn't it DZ.  As Wadda said,  one to definitely watch.  My tip in the West 'Art Series' was disappointing but the horse had no cover in the run. 

Onto Belmont Park tomorrow morning for me - I've taken a few doubles involving the Belmont Stakes and the preceding race,  the Group 1 Manhattan Stakes.  It's a pity the meeting isn't on the free-to-air station but ESPN are covering the 2 main races at least.   They like a good build up in the States - 65 minutes lead up time to both races!  That's time for 3 shouts over here.

Haha, Macca. That’s gold!

Oh yeah, the build up in all sports over there is something else. Showtime! I must admit I do enjoy some of their gimmicks, especially the projector shows on the ice in the NHL.

Is the Belmont Stakes at 8.46am tomorrow?

Yep ... coverage on ESPN starts at 7.00am and the Manhattan Stakes is on at 7.40am.  It's a step up from 1900m to 2400m for 'Justify' but I'd like to see it take out the Triple Crown.  Bravazo & Tenfold could be running on as they did in the Preakness (they finished 2nd & 3rd respectively)

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
