    Best Bet Doomben (Saturday)

    R7 No.2 Mugatoo 6.00/1.70

    Meets the topweight Zaaci 3kgs better off despite beating it home by 2 lengths in the Doncaster

    Or ... the place bet in a multi could be used as 1 of 2 bankers.  I'd be surprised if Mugatoo isn't in the finish

    As for your pick Gorg,  Streetcar is a big chance!

    Tonight at Geelong in the last Bowing runs, the guy at work who’s family owns/part owns said watch it, but they are saying by third run it will be cherry ripe but they are keen on Just Folk in the last at Sandown on Sunday as a EW prospect.

    @Macca canasta runs tomorrow, first back which I was told isn’t usually at its best (runs better second up), but it’s trial it nearly beat two sprinters over 1000 and they are very happy with how it looks. They are Hoping the track dries some more.

    Ran a good race and nearly hung on to win ... our other hopes weren't in it though!

    There was some value up at Eagle Farm but I only got Apache Chase up.  Got out with a reasonable percentage of the trifecta in the last at Morphettville 

    But at E/Farm I left out a good horse in Exhilarates and didn't follow up on Vega One.  You live & learn!

    Kukeracha & Tiger of Malay were great value as well but the punters didn't go after either of them

    Canasta ran very well, pity it couldn’t quite make it. Got one winner and 7 places so I’ve a lot of bonus bets and sod all cash ? 
     

    Yeah our two selections ran poor. But can’t always be right.

    And the big watch will be on Invincible Caviar in the R4 2yo event Gorg

    For those not familiar,  the dam side of Invincible Caviar is none other than 'Black Caviar' whilst the sire is 'I am Invincible'

    Thrashed a stablemate in a jump out and trained by Peter Moody

    $7 for the win can be had and I've backed it for the prime reason that if it does win,  I was on it first time!  Don't want to miss out!

    It’s $6 on Sportsbet, I’ll wait til tomorrow and get on it with the power play as well. 
    Can’t fault the bloodlines that’s for sure.

    The Laddies boost is $1 on anything $5 or more

    Once hitting $11 the boost is $2 (or more)

    But under $5 the boost is negligible ... 4.20 to 4.60 etc etc.  I used to be able to get a $1.50 boost on anything from 4.50 to 8.50 but they've downgraded me

    (B☆¿$#%&'s!!)

    So Invincible Caviar is showing $6 but you can get $7 with a boost.

    Suits my value (or each-way) betting

    I'm surprised it's not 4.00 or less (just for the hype)

    Yeah I didn’t know it was running but agree thought the hype might have have had it at shorter odds

    Got 18-1 the double ... race to race too which has a bit of tradition to it

    The card up at Eagle Farm is very good but there isn't a race at Rosehill that appeals.  It's like a Wednesday meeting standard wise

    Flemington looks half-decent with a few Vobis races.  Got a few value tips from James Jordan for Morphettville on Saturday ('Get On - S.A' on the racing channel)

    I’ll be out sat arvo so I’ll prob stick to Flemington. Already got our bets on it so might go over the rest sat morning and plug them in before I leave. I do usually prefer to place the bets race by race especially if I can see them parade.

    Invincible Caviar lead and got ran down in the last 50, far from disgraced and worth looking at over the next few races.

    The Frankel filly (Argentia) was most impressive though Gorg.  A real blackbooker and will relish greater distances you'd imagine

    Invincible Caviar got beaten by a good one

    Had a return to form today ... got 4 wins and 3 x 2nds at Eagle Form doing my own form only.  Didn't even look at any of the tipsters choices.  Charleise, Nudge & Duais stood out and they all saluted! 

    And in the end went with a few of Gators picks at Rosehill and got a couple of value winners there as well

    Canasta is running in the last at Randwick, if it stays Heavy or worse it’s a very good show.

    Will keep an eye out Gorg

    Got a couple/few that you like in the Stradbroke? 

    I've had a small wager using bonus bets on Apache Chase (carrying 49.5kgs) but Vega One & Wild Planet aren't carrying much weight either

    Exotics could pay really well and I might box a Trifecta in the race

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • 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.
