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

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Best Bets:

Caulfield Race 1 No. 4 Jenkins $5.50  (W)

Caulfield Race 4 No 3 Warning $4.40 (W)

Caulfield Race 5 No.3 Soothing $3.10 (W)

Randwick Race 4 No 4 Still Single $3.90 (W)

Caulfield  Race 7 No. 9 God Of Thunder $4.60 (W)

 

1345/1  this week folks if you want to put a lazy $1.00 on the multi and get a plane ticket to Greece!

Have a great Cup Day everyone.

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.

Soon enough we will be on one of the betting agencies social media pages "how a lucky punter turned $5 into $30,000"

My best bet is Race 5 No.3 (Soothing) $3.10

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.

Warning did well into second.

Thought of that has twin turbos on it.

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
