    The Caulfield Correspondant (Wadda) is probably going to collate our picks (all-up style) but we've still got the Morphettville Marauder (Binman) to come.  Well over 1500-1 already though (boosted) for the 5 picks.  Worth a coffee outlay!

    And I hereby dub the newest member of the team the 'Moonee Valley Maestro' (JV7)

    Here is the official list of nicknames

    Dee Zephyr - Flemington Forecaster

    Binman - Morphettville Marauder

    Wadda - Caulfield Correspondent

    Gorgoroth - Randwick Rampager

    JV7 - Moonee Valley Maestro

    ProperDee - Warwick Farm Whisperer

    Macca - Hong Kong Wizard

    I have been struggling to land on my best. Vasilating between arcadia queen, royal meeting and brutal.

    But have landed on royal meeting. Caulfield race 8 no 2. Group one winner at its second start in Europe and is up against an average lot in a small field. $3.40 fixed odd atm so good value.

    So what do we all like in the Caulfield Cup & The Everest? 

    I'm with Mer De Glace in the Cup but not with any confidence.  Taken an exacta with a few involved.

    And I'm sticking with Sunlight (E/W) at very good odds in the Everest but again,  the race is a good one for the exotics.

    2 big races in each State?  I like it.  A point of difference is fine by me and there are enough good jockeys around to ride on the good horses (in each State)

    I look upon it as increasing the interest across the board.  Competition is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.  The racing bodies in Melbourne will disagree but they'll get by.

    n.b. RSN (The Greater 3UZ) have got Peter Moody on for the next 2 hours live from Caulfield (from 10.00am)

    Me as well DZ. They are my 2 standouts. Both very tough fields though.

    Will be following Maccas routine and doing a few exotics hoping to snare the outsider who gets in among them.

    Well when we include Binmans pick we are pretty close to the 5k mark. Worth a cup of coffee eh?

    By the way all 6 BBs place bets add up to around 20/1 depending on where you put it on. Not bad at all.

    I have found that exacta's are a better percentage play for me Wadda.  I still do the odd 'Spec' trifecta or F4 but they're much harder to get (and I like winning)

    However,  there is a projected $2Million F4 pool in the Caulfield Cup today and the pool for the Everest is probably along similar lines.  A chance to win big. 

    And I've decided from here on in to not make any comments on jockeys at all!  You won't hear a whisper from me.  Contrarily,  you blokes can say whatever you like.  I am officially out of those conversations ?

    Started well with Etreme Pride in the first.

    @macca, I like Mer and Vow, reckon Mer is a better chance but thought I’d take both.

    In the Everest I went Aizee.

    Nice early collect for you Gorg ... I tend to ignore the earlier races but I did have an exacta in that race but no good.  Small outlay only though. 

    James Jordan's Morphettville tips are up on www.racing.com.  There's a few value rumners amongst his tips.  And JJ is in very good form lately. 

    Gator's Caulfield tips can be found on racing.com as well (under the Best bets banner)

    I never blame jockies and it wasnt my intention to do so, but i do think they are simply a big part of the equation and not infallible.

    Had $5 left on my voucher so I dropped it each way on Mirage Dancer, for some reason each time I looked at the race the name popped out at me.

    Blinkers have done the trick apparently with 'Thought of That' but the horse may go from a maiden winner at Donald to a Victorian derby winner within the space of a 25 days.

    Prizemoney 23k to $2Million.  Meteoric rise. 

    Whooda thunk-it.

    I was on board. That donald win was brilliant and this was a carbon don't, stack them up a bit then pur tge foot down and clear away. I was hoping it would be a bit better price but ill take the win.

    Just over 2 seconds off the track record BM.   And that track record was probably run on a fast track ('07) ... 'Thought of That' was carrying 57kgs today too.  Shades of 'Might and Power'

    Very impressive winner.  It's already into $2.80 equal favourite with 'Shadow Hero' for the Derby.   It's out of those 2 now you'd imagine.

    I don't back futures as a rule, but thought about backing it for the derby before this  race. But clean forgot today.

    Win made more impressive by humma humma's win as that showed there is no leader's bias

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
