Surprise baby with Barrier 7 sits very well. Some of the others drew worse barriers.

After getting a nice return on Ashrun today I might put a few on that, but a Surprise baby is who I’m on.

I really like Tiger Moth & Anthony Van Dyck but my main bet will be a Box6 Trifecta or a 4/7/7 Trifecta. 

Not all that concerned with the barriers in a general sense but Anthony Van Dyck has drawn very nicely and it's a class act.  A good horse

My outsider (and it's not really an outsider) is Russian Camelot @ 12-1 ... carrying 53.5kgs with Damien Oliver on board.

The top 7 in the odds stand out to me ... then it's a decent gap to the rest (IMV)

Prob with big races is there is 8-10 that all Could be favs with another 5 that on their day can take the prize.

Yes but I reckon there is a real class difference this year with the Cup, Gorg

However,  there's nearly always a surprise horse that gets in the finish but again,  I can't get past the top 7 in the betting

I could be wrong of course so I'll be having a couple of win bets (using bonus bets) in case my trifecta bombs out! 

Good day for the exotics on Tuesday though ... as it often is when it's hard to find the clear winners.  It is often that sort of betting day much like Oaks day

Agree Finche is a chance and it’s paying $16, getting a trifecta/f4 is hard, it’s nearly worth throwing darts at the chart cos as you said, something pops up you weren’t expecting.


@JV7

@Macca

do a best bet for Tuesday? I’ll post one up Monday night, be good to have a multi for the day if you are both keen. Got close this week.

1st & 2nd should go to the class runners but after that it's a lottery.  Exacta might be the go if that was to happen

After having another good look,  Master of Reality & Twilight Payment can get into the finish.  Both have good overseas form.

The only thing that stands out so far is Ingratiating (No.1) in the first race but it's a short priced favourite.  Works in a multi though

I'm in for the best bet but I'll post up something later on.  Probably find an each-way chance for some value

I'm doing exacta's on the day so it's easy to include another runner if needs be

Should have said best/value bet. Just like normal, throw up what ever you want.

Since we made the shift to each-way or value we could have made a profit every week

Just getting 1 winner out of 3 pays its way but the early place double has also saluted in the last 2 weeks.  I missed last weekend but got 10-1 yesterday on the early place double

Get all 3 and we can get anywhere between 15-1 & 30-1.  And the picks can still win of course and if all 3 win it's happy days!

I reckon it's way more interesting but I don't have any issue with picking a shortie as a best bet.  For instance,  if I can't find anything I'll probably pick Ingratiating (which is a really good chance of winning by the way)


Best Bet Tuesday

Flemington Race 8 No.1 Homesman 6.00/2.00

EW Race 2 #4 Sweet Reply 6.50/2.35

After listening to carnival radio for a day or so I've now increased my choices in the cup to about 15 or 16!  haha

Quite seriously,  too much information has confused the hell out of me.  An exacta is on the cards now because I reckon anything can come 3rd or 4th

Promises to be a great race especially now that the barrier draw is out

And great minds think alike as I had 'Sweet Reply' on top in an exotic (along with a few others in a multiple exacta) 

The place multi is starting to take shape as well although we'll need 3 to get a half decent dividend. 

Over to JV7 for the clincher!

Sorry lads! Had a busy weekend, haven't looked too much into it but I did back River Twain last start which ran a nice 2nd so will stick with that...

Race 2 #3 - River Twain $4.20W/$1.75P

No biggie mate, take your time,

Flemington Race 8 No.1 Homesman 6.00/2.00

All 3 choices are for tomorrow's meeting at Flemington

All 3 in a place multi delivers about 11-1 (boosted odds)

All 3 saluting the judge is showing a dividend of 240-1 (boosted odds)

We're in with a chance but I've got all 3 selections going in win bets or exactas

As previously stated,  we only need 1 choice to win to show a profit

As for the Cup,  my roughie is 'Twilight Payment' but there are any number of good chances that can win or get into the finish

Best of luck all!

Twighlight is a roughie a lot like. I think Ashrun is another but TP the best of the outside chances.


Got a strong tip at Echuca Race 2 #14 - Sweet Home Alabama.. It's short enough $2.50 but thought I'd pass on

Sweet reply got boxed in there, nearly got to third tho. Bugger

For whatever reason we often race in tight bunches in Oz.  But that's racing

A good thing beaten was Sweet Deal the way it flew home although 'Joviality' was stuck back on the inside as well and never got clear air

The connections are far more to blame ... instructing the jockeys to get cover throughout and then the horse doesn't get the run

 

But we've still got 2 good each-way chances running around for us

Tavidance (Race 6) should get a run up near the speed (4th,  5th?)

Homesman (Race 8) is a frontrunner and it has drawn an inside gate

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
