R9 No.5 Paperboy (W/P) 9.50/3.00

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

 

Lombardo a bit rusty ... needed the run

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.

BOOM! Montefilia!!!

Took Mont,  had a bonus on Angel of truth and had those two and VE in the tri. 

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

Anamoe and Yonce showed their class today.

Can Add Zaaki to that list above. 
pinstripped was super disappointing in that 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.

Cherry came home with a rush, but Gentleman Roy holds them all off.

Crikey….jet engine finish on Cherry. Place multi still alive with our picks. One to go

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

ShelbySixtySix is now my all time fav horse.

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. 

All close this weekend. Very competitive races too.

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!
