And Nature Strip wins in commanding fashion ... another dead-set candidate for the Everest after that run. 

Sunlight might have needed the run but the horse was outclassed if we're being honest.

Agree Macca. I thought Sunlight could beat him today but that was a clinic.

Only kidding mate. ? They have a phenomenal knack of scoring quickly and reeling in big leads this season. Over to the Dees now.

To Gator's credit he did tip Nature Strip & Vega Magic today and that double was paying around about $3.50 early doors (with an odds boost)  I bet away from him looking for value but that didn't work! ?

  • Trapeze Artist       4-1
  • Nature Strip          5-1

That's a couple of smart bankers in a multi Wadda ... good luck with the other 2 picks although I see the Rabbitohs have got a bit of work ahead. 

My only other bet this weekend is in the Group 1 2400m Stakes race at Epsom just after midnight.  Cracksman is up against Poet's Word & Crystal Ocean whilst Rostropovich might get into the finish.

Video of a couple of Group 1's from the weekend (overseas) and it's worth having another look at Vega Magic blitzing them in the Bletchingly Stakes likewise Nature Strip in the Lightning Stakes

It's also worth noting that the confirmed Cox Plate starter 'Benbatl' won a Group 1 2000m race out of Germany on the weekend as well ... the time was a tad slow but the tracks are quite often on the dead side of good in Europe so it's more about the ratings.

g'day punters,

I can feel it in the air, the unmistakable spring vibe. One of my favourite times of year. Love the couple of months before the spring carnival starts in earnest. My mate and i usually start back up on our spring campaign in mid to late August so soon now. Can't wait.

In the man time will have to content myself with the dees still being in finals contention.

I might post my bets footy bet of the round on a Friday for the last few games and finals. I like my bet now of the swans to miss the finals at $3. Had an up and won footy betting season but have made a profit so can't complain. Was well up this round coming into Sunday's game and then managed to get them ALL wrong to break even.

That would be great Binman. Although we made the thread mainly about horseys, i always like to post any other bet that i like across a wide range of sports. So feel free. I will certainly be having a look at your best.

Ha!  It's already all systems go for me Wadda ... the Missile Stakes to be run at Randwick on Saturday is my kind of trifecta race - a 10 horse field only but the quality is there with Kementari on top.  I fancy Showtime to run a good race first up whilst 'She Will Reign's' first up form is enormous - 4 from 4.

Since we are talking Swans binman, I had a look at the early market for our game against them. I realise the one week at time cliche but realistically speaking most of us are looking down the track ( not necessarily punt wise).

We are $1.45, Swans $2.75

If we get up this week and Swans lose our odds will reduce further in my opinion. When was the last time we were that short against the Swans?

A long time DZ. They do not have the pace to hurt us on the outside and we have them covered on contested ball, which is really the cornerstone of their 'brand 'and has been for many years.

That said 1.45 is short. But as we both know the odds are perhaps the most reliable indicator of the relative chances in any given game.

Last Friday, just before the bombers game.

I actually suggested the bet on a DL thread and advised if keen people should get on before the ess game as if they were to lose would come into about 1.80. I was pretty close!

Best bet....

Royal Randwick Race 7 No 2 Kementari $2.05

Cummings has got this horse forward. Win this and its in The Everest. First up goes well, a little short but it should be right. Get on before it comes in any more.

Best Bet:

Mooney Valley Race 8 Number 3

Trap For Fools. $2.30

Former WA galloper having fourth run in and should be hitting his straps fitness wise. Has improved each run this campaign and has some excuses in those runs.

By the look of it there’s not much pace here, the horse should be able to lead with Rawiller dictating the tactics and hopefully we see the famous dash away from rivals on the home turn.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    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
