    Paid 13/1 on debut win. Looks a good sort, but i reckon its the trainers ego and the attention thats calling the shots here. We will see on Saturday.

    Thanks for that DZ

    Laddies are offering $2 for Winx winning again ... $20 maximum bet but that's money for old rope.

    Unless they run 'Tom' forward again there may not be a lot of speed in the race so Winx may not win by a big margin.  But then again,  she might win by 6+ lengths. 

    Happy Clapper trialed really well recently and Unforgotten is a top-rater.  I reckon that's the top 4 with Winx on top of course.  Tom ran a very quick 01:21.17 over 1400m in winning it's last start so Waller might have figured out how to get the best out of the horse. 

    Winx wins but if one can figure out 2nd,  3rd & 4th (in order?) then there's a half decent return to be had if taking a F4 combo multiple times.

    Nice work Wadda ... I'll get on later.

    20 units of the 40 units expected return from a Winx win could be invested in advance on a F4 in the race - it's like a free bet really.  The initial 20 units outlay you can get back and keep.

    Remembering that in this race - 2018 Winx Stakes the F4 paid $2807 with Invictus Prince running 2nd.   The best outsider that could run 2nd in the Apollo Stakes is probably Tom although 'Egg Tart' can run a sharp 1400m if the horse can find its best form. 

    As is always the case with the Winx races,  it's just a matter of snagging a trifecta (of sorts) with the remaining runners in order to snag the F4.  And the race being a WFA affair means it's best to look for WFA form.  Happy Clapper is therefore the standout WFA performer of the rest and again,  it trialed very well recently.

    Tom is very good at running 2nd Macca. What a pity we cant put Winx at 2.00 into Multis.

    I also notice both DZ and i have Craig Williams ridding our BBs.

    Actually....do you know what?! If you throw Winx into our Multi as the 4th leg, you get another 6/1. Now that is money for old rope.

    And with the odds booster including Winx kicks it up to 100-1 from 92-1.

    Flemington Saturday (all races)

    Randwick Saturday (all races)

    The standout races being the Lightning Stakes (race 8 ) at Flemington & the Apollo Stakes (race 6) at Randwick. 

    The Light Fingers Stakes (race 7) at Randwick has attracted a very good field and it is a similar story for the CS Hayes Stakes (race 7) at Flemington. 

    Those are the 4 features that will attract the most interest.

    Unreal huh guys? Not often you can just grab another 8/1 on top of your bet and be pretty damn sure about it.

    Ive thrown your 2 picks in with Sunlight and Written By in case Ozzie isnt up to it. As you say Macca, we can work stuff around our base combos.

    Gee you have to look at Extra Brut at 9/1 in the CS Hayes.

    The Lightning is always a tough race to find the standout winner Wadda but that suits my way of punting (exotics) ... the pools will be large and the dividends could be very healthy with the right combo & outcome.  Osborne Bulls has got a real good chance - quality field though.  But that's the case with nearly all the Group races.

    Yeah Wadda,  I base my betting strategy around the chat here,  my own thought's,  Gator's tips & JJ's tips so I've had to readjust. 

    And in the end I boxed a few behind Winx for a bit of value (in a F4)

    Searched out JJ's best bet - Morphettville Race 7 No.7 Excessabeel ($5.20)

    No mate ... his best bet is highlighted on the 'Get on' show on Thursday nights (racing channel)  So that's it unfortunately.

    Gator's tips are up on Racing.com (under the best bets banner)  Offers up a lot of value this week too.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
