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
Race 6, No. 5 - Tshahitsi

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
