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.

    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...

    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.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
