Use the pick anyway you like with these value picks Wadda ... if win & place I'd recommend 6 units the win,  4 units the place (money back for 2nd or 3rd)  In the exotics I'd mark it on top with 2 others,  in a quaddie as part of a multiple choice and in a multi - take your pick - win or place. 

But to make a choice - place preferred in a multi ($2.70) but the horse can win and Gator has picked it to win as well and that has reinforced my thoughts.

As for Deeza's pick last week ... I got the win collect & the exacta (which paid surprisingly well) with 'Amphitrite'  ... so 3 collects with our 3 picks.  Overall,  I was down a little bit last week but our picks got me close to breaking even.  So the value was there. 

Gee I like the $4.40 for Hartnell (place) ... seems overs considering the class of the horse and it's ability to get into the finish.

Ok i see. Yes we can all use the picks in many ways.  So its (plc) then, cool. 2 plc bets so far, not a bad way to go with so much talent in the fields, even a plc is hard.    .....and now its over to DZ to bring us home!!

Yes as far as value goes...(at the risk of sounding like KB)......I cant go past it really. I liked Ace High for nearly 3.00 the plc in the last, but his record at Caulfield isnt that great, and hes still working up to 2000+. Hartnell however, is 2 from 2 at 1400 in grp races at Caulfield. Cant get much better.

    I just got 4.90 (place) for Hartnell on Laddies ... the plunge is on though Wadda (emanating from 'land) so it will no doubt shorten!

    Well thats great value Macca. Yes, haha they are all onto us now, especially with Deeza (they call me Winx) DZ picks of late.

    He actually seems to be drifting a bit, because he was 16 last night when first i had a look.......but thats fine, money fluctuations dont effect form. Bring it on.

    If I get any bonus bets I will be plunging big time on the Deeza pick.  A free bet for a certain win!

    No pressure though Deeza

    Now that is a good multi and well thought out by the team.  We only need the 1 win (Cool Passion) and we've got the leading tipster here (Deeza) with that one. 

    The 2 place chances include Hartnell who is an absolute proven big race performer whilst Athiri has got the closing speed (with Craig Williams on board) to get into the finish.  77/1 is overs!  (I just got on at 90-1)

    And there's a decent pipe-opener to begin the weekend's racing (tomorrow night at the Valley) A good betting race with at least 4 strong winning chances.

    It was well thought out by the team.....thats why i like putting people with different approaches together.

    Yes i was thinking that last night. 77/1 for a win and 2 places is very good. Well done on getting 90!

    I'm back fellas. Started up last week but forgot to post my bets bet. Which by the way was In her time.

    Had an ok week last week, with three winner in Melbourne. But not single one in Sydney.

    Bad does of Punters lament. Accidentally left out a number in my only trifecta bet for the day - Its Invincible, which i really liked - and missed out on a a return of 1700 (would have had the trif 1.75 times). So frustrating. Got the first four in the next (in her times rce) - but only a third of a paltry 395.

    have not done my form yet. Will do this arvo as i have the day off.

    Good to have you back BM, we have missed you. Bad luck on that trifecta, nothing worse than forgetting a number!

    Have a look at our selections above so far first...... Do your form and i will include it in our selections later.

    DZ has been on fire in recent months....hes our go to guy this Autumn so far..

    You should be getting a total of 6 odds boosts per day at Laddies ... 2 win,  2 multi & 2 exotic

    But you can't use the same team or horse more than once to get the boost

    Look in the 'Bet Slip' area (top right) or do a dummy bet using 'add to bet slip' to find

    Yeah welcome back BM

    And as Wadda mentioned ...to save any double-ups just do a quick scroll if you can (on the best bets) You won't have to scroll back very far ... usually on the same page.

    For instance,  we had Osborne Bulls in the Lightning last week so that race was already being used ... unless you get in first of course!

    Good punting!

    Brett Prebble rides 'Embrace Me' to victory in the Typhoon Tracy Stakes in a big boilover.  And all 4 of the fancied runners failed to get into the first 4 (which paid close enough to 27k)

    Didn't see that coming ... there again,  the Valley can often throw up these sorts of results.

    Not your favourite track Wadda? haha

    There's probably a way to work out a race at the Valley but I'm stumped if I know what that is ... even Gator struggles there and you can tell that he gets frustrated with the way the racing pans out at MV. 

    I had a few bets and broke dead-even on the night ... but I'll take that as a win! (got an ok collect in the lucky last)

    We've talked about this before but my 3 favourite tracks are Flemington,  Randwick and then Rosehill.  Morphettville too but mainly because of JJ's expertise.

    Rosehill Race 7 Number 5   Cool Passion - Win $6.50

    Caulfield Race 6 No 1 Hartnell (Plc) $4.40

    Avilius (no.8) is actually in race 9 (Peter Young Stakes) not race 8 anyway Wadda ... you may be thinking of Alizee in race 6. 

    I get both horses mixed up as well sometimes - I'll leave it to you to figure out the combined odds ?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
