    You think if Nature Strip shows up & runs at his best he wins the Everest but it's just hard to see how he turns his form around although his just too classy of a horse to right off... 

    I'm going with Trekking, chased Pippie home last start to blow the cobwebs out. Up to 1200mm now.

     Caulfield Cup, sticking with Master of Wine. Been to 2400mm once for one win and has been building nicely to be primed for tomorrow. 

    Having said that neither will probably win ?

    Prob with nature strip and Veery is they have both shown patchy form leading up. Both could easily win or finish midfield.

    And now the give in the ground is in Verry Elleegant's favour ... and she was the nominal favourite beforehand.  The one to beat

    I'm including a couple of the lightweight chances though. 

    The Everest is arguably a harder race to evaluate as nearly all 12 runners can win. 

    But if the big boy gets the right run from barrier 2 (as he often does from the inside barriers) he'll at least get into the top 3

    Could be a blanket finish though with so many classy sprinters assembled.

    2 really good betting races and probably the best Caulfield Cup line up for a time too

    Can I take Geelong as my best bet tomorrow ? Absolutely think the $2.10 on offer is value, might multi them up with a couple place bets or win and see how we go.. Reckon the occasion gets to the young Lions & Cats are well due for a prelim win & GF

    As some one who lives down the Geelong way and works down there too I hope the Lions slaughter them unless we are guaranteed for the tigers to slaughter them in the GF.

    I’ve landed on MoW in the cup, still think Veery Elegant is the one to beat and will add in a multi. But I’m giving master of wine another backing.

    Hi guys 

    I'm a bit late for the Caulfield Cup but just wanted to wish you all a happy Spring Carnival.

    Amazed that we didn't sell the Melbourne Cup to Queensland like we did with everything else.

    What's the Cox Plate field looking like quality wise this year ?

    @Diamond_Jim

    Russian Camelot is the fav, Arcadia Queen not far behind it, will see the field drop numbers over the next few days. There are def some good value for some of the other horses right now, but it’s all going to depend of weather and I think it’s rain/storms forecast this far out.

    Well that was the worst I’ve ever done at a Caulfield cup/ Everest day.

    One third, four fourths, 3 which were photos. Not my day, got a few more that play out Tonight and tomorrow on Brownlow night so whilst I’m down now, hoping for Recovery.

    Hope you all faired better than me.

    I got a number of collects but all the dividends were small. For instance got both exactas in the 2 feature races but was hoping for some value runners getting into the finish. 

    I still haven't seen any of the races yet but the class prevailed in the Everest & Caulfield Cup.  I'll post up the replays with some comments soon enough

    Might fare better at Ascot (UK) tonight.  4 Group 1's & a Group 2 beginning just after 11.00pm tonight.  And Sha Tin tomorrow!

    My pick

    MV Race 6, 3 Cherry Tortoni 5.50/1.75

     

    All 3 in a Place Multi shows a dividend of $14 ... that's good value considering our best place hope is probably JV's tip - at the best odds (Blazing Miss)

    All 3 in a Win Multi is paying $418 - and all 3 can win!  Let's hope so anyway ?

    Me too, unfortunately the only on I have left is our one with all too place. I stuffed up and did place on all instead of each way. But that’s ok, did another with all wins it age came second. Reckon a drier track and age beats it.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
