Rules, Rules and more Rules.

I’ll tip a roughie later.

Now that's a good idea ... there's always a lot of value about on an each-way basis. 

And the value at the Valley can be the on pace runners who get a cushy run.  I'm also weary of backmarkers who draw an inside alley.

    Im happy to go with @Biffen roughie selection every week if he wants to do it that way. It can be in any race, i just wont put it in the multi. Simple.

    As for JV7s selection,. i thought we didnt want 2 selections in 1 race?.......again i dont really care, but make up your minds.

    It'll figure itself out over time Wadda ... we can just use any of the tips as we see fit. 

    2 leg doubles is my preference so if we have 5 or more tips then one doesn't have to necessarily use them all.  Even out-out win bets such as 'I am Superman' last week can give a good return.

    As an example I have got How Womantic & Surprise Baby in a one-out double from our selections.  Gator likes both of them as well and he's often on the money.

    Still worth a coffee on all of them in a big multi but again,  my preference is to pick the eyes out of the selections.  We could use a roughie pick for the place in a multi as well.  That's how I might use that type of tip.

    I can see your point about multiple selections in the one race but again,  it'll figure itself out once everyone knows how it all works.

    I don't believe we'll have a repeat of the previous double-ups.

    Is 'Nature Strip' over the line in the Concorde Stakes? (Race 4 Randwick)  The odds would suggest so but the horse is not always at its best first up.

    I've taken out a F4 in the race and I give Dirty Work & Gytrash a show in the race.

    And the Chelmsford Stakes (Race 7) is an open race ... Paul Joice has picked 'Angel of Truth' to win (5-1) so that might do me.  At its best Avilius would win this but can it find its best form?  Life Less Ordinary at 20-1 provides some real value in the race.  Spec pick?

    My fault I actually didn't read the rules until after I had posted... I'll be going each way on this one personally but for this multi I'll go the place. 

    Moonee Valley Race 2 #12 Ghodeleine - Place $5

    Ok -Thanks for the opportunity to be the roughy tipster.

    In search for value I went to Kilmore .Race 8 Number 2-Drain The Swamp. Showing 26-1 fixed TAB. 

    In the same race I like a boxed Trifecta 1,2,3,13.

    A quick scan of the Metro meetings didn't really show much value.

    I'll try to pick something over 15-1 each week.

    I look froward to the team multi .

    Go you good things!!!

    Yeah no problem with that at all, cast your net into the sea! You can go to HK or anywhere else also if you spot something. Macca often posts some international meetings and we were all over Ascot earlier this year.

    We also have been following Night of Thunder horses, since its now the leading sire in Europe and its progeny do very well and often win at good odds. They are starting to get to Australia and hence my selection in River Night. Cherry Tortoni is one good example. We post them up here from time to time.

    • 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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
