Fair bit of value already with Master of Wine & Miami Bound.  And to be honest I'd rather trust the collective knowledge of the ADATR crew than my own thoughts. 

Boxing 6 with a small outlay can still pay a decent dividend especially with a F4.  I first struck upon the idea when you made mention of a collect in the Caulfield Cup (?) a couple of years ago.  Think it was a Box 6 F4 IIRC.

Interesting, never done that with 6 runners.

    Yep Macca, that was a fluke and a half but that’s what you’re looking for in Lady Luck. 

    6 is a good number and like you said it doesn’t have to be a huge outlay.

    Fierce Impact or Kings Will Dream for mine in the Makybe... Unsure which way to lean at this stage ?

    Had 'em both in mind JV,  don't worry!

    And putting together an exotic combo is not necessarily for my benefit.  Anyone can use the picks.

    I'm a great believer in team and with regards to the punt, I'm not sure the team aspect has been explored properly.  Just my view of course.

    For instance,  I'm liking the extra best bets that we currently have this Spring.  The large multi is an option especially for a small outlay but I also like to pluck the eyes out of the picks for straight wins,  double's or even a treble. 

    Got 4 collects last week out of the 6 picks and turned a profit.  And all our choices this week look like standouts to me.

    Hi All,

    I think I spruiked My Gold Bracelet on here and it came 3rd after a wide run last start.In the Price/Kent Jnr stable from NZ looking for Black Type Glory.

    It's at 10-1 fixed in race 4. Only 4-1 on the tote.

    I expect Oliver to ride a double in races 3 and 4.

    But my roughie this week is in Race 1 at HQ.  Roland Garros .

    They are predicting 20-30 mls of rain and Roland Garros has proven Heavy track form.

    Currently about 26-1 and definitely worth a bob each way to get you off to a flyer.

    Happy Punting and good luck.

    If you barrack for the MFC God knows you deserve it.

    ...And 'Rolling Fog'

    Interested in posters thoughts with regards to the Makybe Diva Group1

    I've got Master of Wine as my best bet (place only) but I'm thinking of taking out a box Tri or Box F4.

    As much as it's often best to leave the best bet races alone I don't want to curtail any conversations on a big Group 1.

    I do fancy Master of Wine but the exotics could pay a bit on the race.

    So feel free to proffer up your choice

    The event is Race 7 and the field,  form & odds in a post above (near the top of the page)

    I like Fierce Impact now ....5 from 5 placings in the soft, have to throw it in...

    Ok so we've got Miami Bound,  Master of Wine,  Fierce Impact,  Kings Will Dream and I'll throw in Russian Camelot & Warning (for a bit of value. 

    4,  7,  9,  10,  13 & 16

    Betting has closed! 

    Good luck today to all the punters out there and lets hope the ADATR choices come through with the goods!

    Anyone give ABN (Flem R9 No.2) a chance? The fellas at work are hoping for some luck. I dare say a few of them if not all will be calling in sick on Monday if she wins. In excess of 100-1 earlier in the week. Good luck to them.

    Its sectional ratings are the 2nd best in the race, however most of those were recorded on the good. Being out of Night of Thunder you would think the rain affected ground would suit. Certainly has come in. Wide open race.

    Cherry T looked to get a bit far back, but made good ground to hang on for 3rd.

    Arcadia Queen great run and just missed really.

    Still no rain at Flemington and remains a Good 4

    Tofane just couldn’t get there. Was thinking the track would have been a bit heavier by this run.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
