Best Bet Saturday

Randwick Race 5 #1 - Handle The Truth

$9 W/$2.60 P

 

In to $7.50 with Front page being scratched. Rumour around is it’s me is not certainly to start either

[JV7 2,339]

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

[JV7 2,339]

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.

I'm all in with the Team ADATR pick

You don't like Behemoth? haha

[Gorgoroth 12,315]

Starelle 6th, made ground but had to work so hard to get from out of the middle after it pushed up from second last.

[Gorgoroth 12,315]

It’s official.

I hate Master of Wine.

[Diamond_Jim 11,743]

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 ?

[Gorgoroth 12,315]

@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.

[Gorgoroth 12,315]

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!

Not my best bet but Humidor at $21is a bit over the top especially since the rain expected.

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 ?

[Gorgoroth 12,315]

Nice work Gorg

Had it for the win and got it in a few multi's as well.  Gets our treble off to a good start!

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.
