What do we all like in the Makybe Diva Stakes tomorrow?

Thunderstruck is very short odds and it's best wins but ... I'm giving Western Empire another chance (8.50 with a boost)

Good race, all the same with 6 winning chances out of the 8 runners.  And they can all get into the finish

    Tactics will be interesting in this one Macca, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of pace in the race. Not sure who leads.

    Thunderstruck gets Alligator right on the line.  It was always the more likely outcome and it went true to form

    They'll clash again no doubt

    The others never threatened including my choice - Western Empire (who was outclassed)

    Thunderstruck was very good, Alligator blood unlucky in the end. 
     

    I’ve been overseas for all of Aug so not been on the punt much, had a little today but was putrid.

    Time honoured Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes tomorrow

    Boom horse 'I Wish I Win' is the favourite but needs 2 from the field to scratch to get a run!!

    With the rain about that might happen

    Very open race, all the same.  One for the exotics

    Incredibly tough race this year Macca. Thrown a bonus bet on Showmanship.

    I've had a wide exacta as I'm not at all confident of landing the trifecta!!  F4 could pay anything! 

    Just got Pride of Jenni up so a decent start, DZ

    Anamoe & Nature Strip should both win I've gone for some value with trifecta's with both those feature races

    Anything that you like today? (mozz factor de-activated)

    Good work. Have Anamoe one out in the Sydney quad and a multi going Macca. Aft Cabin/Nature Strip/Sixbysixtythree. 
    Pretty much my picks for the day.

    Anamoe, Nature Strip & Aft Cabin all duly salute ... got the NS tri (paid well) and had Aft Cabin with Smokin (pl) in a 2-race double

    Decent day so far!  (lean winter though!)

    Big day of racing coming up on Saturday ... Guineas Day at Caulfield features 10 Stakes races including the Toorak Hcp, The Guineas, Schillaci Stakes & the Might and Power

    Up in Sydney they've got 6 Stakes races including the Silver Eagle

    There are a stack of favourites that will be well supported but they can't all win!  Or can they?

    If I had to single out 3 they'd be 'I Wish I Win' in the Toorak, 'Anamoe' in the Might and Power and 'Polly Grey' in Angst Stakes

    Multi's will the theme for the day for me

    Good luck punters!!

    I haven’t been on the punt as much for a while but sort of keeping my eye in (and doing terribly 😂)

    Polly Grey is a absolute fav of mine and should run a good race, but I can’t see them running it, it’s a H10 now with a ton of rain expected.

    Open Minded in the 2nd at Caulfield at $20 is one I’ll keep an eye on.

    Meridus in the big race is a roughy I like but Golden Mile should win there.

    Anomoe should win, but with the rain coming in Mr brightside at $16 might be worth including in any tri/f4 bets

    Yep, you're right, there's a good chance Randwick will be cancelled, Gorg

    Still, the 10 race card at Caulfield is an absolute beauty!

    Might try to find a few value bets at Morphettville and/or Eagle Farm to fill in the gaps!

    Well here in palatial Kew we've got plenty of run-off for all the water deluging down!

    The council are controlled by the old money and the high end legal fraternity! haha

    And Sydney has already set a record for the amount of rain they've had in a year (with 3 months to go!)

    Us punters should know as when we bet on the Sydney races, the tracks are nearly always heavy ... been that way for at least 2-3 years

    Good luck with your water tanks, Gorg!

    Soft 7 at the moment, doesn’t look like rain for the day so shouldn’t drop to a heavy but prob won’t get to a good either. I won’t be able to listen or watch the races as I’m out so will need to decide, put them on before I leave and hope 😂

    I know how good Anamoe but I have this feeling the Mo'unga is going to spoil the party. Brilliant field and the outsider Nonconformist loves the track, distance and conditions. I can make a case for every horse except the bottom one. Maybe I should back the bottom one.

    I too like nonconformist. Not sure it will win but all seems in its favour to make a good fist of it.

    See that new Betting mob BetR "owned by Murdoch so I wont be going near them" Is offering 101 to 1 on any horse in the Melbourne Cup. You can only put ten on and have to bet before Derby day buy if you believe you have the winner. $10 would get you a thousand. No doubt you would have to turn your winnings over again before you can collect.

    Anamoe!! What a horse!  Ridden a treat by J-Mac.  I'm Thunderstruck & Zaaki very brave

    Skinny odds was Anamoe but perfect for the multi's

    Hot favourite for the Cox Plate now you'd imagine

    And the Randwick meeting has been called off

    Had a few live multi's going too!  Can't complain though as I'm way in front today

    They've pencilled in Monday for the remaining 3 stakes races but where?  They'd be lucky to find a track that isn't heavy

    The Paulele/Anamoe double was great value at $5…should have thrown in Sydney races getting abandoned half way through the card at $1.20 for a little extra value 😀

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
