    All 3 winning pays about 200-1

    Pounding winning with the other 2 running a place is showing a dividend of about 25-1 - good value

    I like Coolangatta in the Slipper but there are any number of chances including the 3 placegetters in the Diamond (Daumier, Revolutionary Miss & Jacquinet)

    I'm Thunderstruck (each-way) in the All-Star Mile but it will have to get past Zaaki.  Been set for the race a long way out

    Happy punting folks!

    Lombardo I think is a very very good show, but 1000 is my only concern, 1200 and it’s a Monty. Sword of mercy/Lombardo quinella is a worthy exploration

    Yeah, the 1000m at Flemington is all about the timing of the run (because the run will almost certainly appear) ... reckon Lombardo wins. Mick Price places his horses well

    Just doing straight out win bets tomorrow although a trifecta in the Slipper & All Star Mile ... big pools and the dividends can pay a lot with the right combo

    If Coolangatta wins the Slipper, the filly could end up with a stellar career as a result

    Yeah, didn’t even really pick up speed late. 
     

    Pounding, I think it maybe was run a little hot and a slower speed would have suited.

    Was still a shock to see Verry Elleegant not pick up and run down Montefilia ... not that I had anything riding on it apart from a small outlay trifecta

    And Anamoe far too accomplished in the Guineas ... ridden forward in a small field and ridden like the best horse in the race

    I'm Thunderstruck beaten by the barrier draw ... all credit to the winner though.  Scooted away and too good was Zaaki.  All class

    Streets runs 3rd!  What a grand campaigner ... $720k for the connections! Bonus dollars!

    Only reason I could see thunder that long odds was the barrier.

    Fireburn gets the rails run and streets them in the Slipper ... only went around 1 horse in a race where that is a real advantage. 

    Too good but ridden an absolute treat.  Kudos to the horse & rider

    I should have taken your lead from last week and taken all 3 in a place multi.  The value was there with our 3 this week

    Well done, DZ!

    Yeah got around $8.50 for all three to place and threw it on last minute. Fair value I thought today Macca and all of our picks weren’t far away from winning either.

    Yep, that dividend is a good one, all things considered. If 1 or 2 of the picks are of good each-way value, the place multi comes into play

    I must say, I've had better days at the races but there's always Sha Tin tomorrow!

    They just interviewed the trainer of Shelby Sixtysix (Danny Williams) on 'After the Last' on the racing channel ... what a fantastic story!

    The show is repeated at 9pm tonight unless you've caught hold of it already

    The horse is now going to run in the TJ Smith! 

    By the way, I recouped very well at Sha Tin yesterday (thanks to Moreira & Purton) ... I pulled the right reigns!

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
