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.

Apologies a few technical issues at Chateau Fog this morning. Here's a few thoughts for this afternoon at headquarters and Rosehill:

(I've tried to go with picks that haven't been posted already, but apologies if I'm doubling up anywhere)

Best Bets:
Flemington
Race 5, No. 7 - Toffee Tongue - it's a wide field and I also like Shot of Irish and Aktau in this race, Toffee Tongue EW I think
Race 7, No. 4 - Fierce Impact - again, another wide field and I also like the look of Russian Camelot and Master of Wine, EW again I think...

Rosehill
Race 5, no. 7 - Mo'unga
Race 6, No. 1 - Farnan
Race 7, No. 5 - Funstar

Best Value:
Flemington
Race 9, No. 13 - Yoesmite

    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
