Best Bet (Saturday)

Caulfield R7 No.1 Probabeel 5.00/1.80

I’ll post something up before Saturday. 

 

Yeah I prefer to go early with my best bet Gorg.  Wednesday evening is form night!

Probably going to continue with the value/each-way type (brings the place multi into play) but with an emphasis on class

And Probabeel is just that ... classy

But if I really like a short-priced favourite,  I'll go down that path.  For instance, if the Caulfield Track has a bit of give in it on Saturday then Sir Dragonet in the Orr Stakes would attract a lot of big wagers and could start at a very short price

And just on the racing up in Hong Kong - the locals are very big on quinellas.  It's their favoured way of punting.  When in Rome?

I'm assuming they are percentage punters because there are often 4 or 5 genuine chances to win in most of the races (and that includes any of the horses that Purton or Moreira are on!)

I've generally done ok with exactas up there but I'm switching to quinellas (at HK)

Humidor back at Caulfield but running at 1400, that surprises me. Just blowing out the cobwebs?

 

The first Group 1 of the season tomorrow with the CF Orr Stakes to be run.  Will Sir Dragonet run?  Trainers Maher & Eustice are going to walk the track tomorrow morning looking for a bit of give in the track but the surface might be a Good3 by R8 anyway.  At a guess I don't believe it will run but I hope it does

The Blue Diamond Preludes will also be run whilst up at Randwick there are a couple of Black-type races as well as 2 high-stakes Inglis 2yo & 3yo events ($2Million & $1Million)

And they race at Sha Tin tomorrow as well (Saturday's once a month up there) - the meeting continues until 8.45pm so the 'Get-Out Stakes' x 5 is in operation!

Some very good value in this race. Sir Dragonet should be fav but lots can challenge.

If Sir Dragonet is scratched then Crosshaven could come into about 2.80 or 3.00

But I'd be on Imaging at about 4.50 (?) if I went for a win bet. 

Might Box 4 in a trifecta including a couple of value runners (Blazejowski & Sovereign Award?)

Blaze was great last week, can it back it up? Streets of Avalon can be very good or average, usually not a lot in between.

Sovereign is a solid horse. Humidor is the strange one amongst the group.

Boom! Probabeel! 
had her at $5.50 cos I put it on when you posted @macca so cheers!

Overs!!

Good on ya Gorg and I took on board what you said about Streets of Avalon (what a warrior horse Streets is!)

Got the quinella twice so a handy collect ... I work on the principle that if you get enough reasonable collects you'll end up in front

Come on 'Sword of Mercy'!

Value bet

Race 9, #10 Sword of mercy $7.50

Couldn't get clear running room ... really unlucky.  Held up for more than a furlong in the straight but that's racing

Jamie Kah wins again on Prophet's Thumb ... another treble for the elite hoop

Yeah I was on streets, got out to $9.50 too.

Sword didn’t get a run but as you said that’s racing. Shame as I had a multi on both our horses

Same here  ... had a place multi going but I've had a good day today (unlike last week!)

Gone down the quinella path at Sha Tin this evening ... got a couple of roughies going (in each race) for the value

I’m on Zing in the last and that’s me done. Either way I’m up some which means even after the super bowl I’ll end up a little if I don’t win there so that makes me happy

I was on Ulysses but Zing looked home for you there ... at least with Sportsbet you get the bonus bet back

Yeah that helps, at the 100 I thought a good chance at the 50 knew it would get pipped.

Sha Tin has thrown up some roughies I just saw. Hope you snagged one of them.

Got a good collect in R8 ... 4 bets with 3 returns.  The last 2 money back

Might stick to the quinellas up there.  Boxing 4 or even 5 is like an each way bet

Purton or Moreira were involved in quinellas in 5 of the last 6 races.  That might be the clue I've been looking for

The first 4 races are often C5 or C4 races and are therefore the equivalent of BM58 or BM64 affairs.  I stay away until R7 normally

Hobart Cup today is a good betting race ... 5 or 6 genuine chances means the exotics could pay quite well

Just looking now, you are right, a lot I like. Gotta narrow it down. Not easy.

Managed to get the ok-paying trifecta with the top 2 in the betting both finishing in the placings

Classic Weiwei running 2nd added a bit of value

Midweek Special (Wednesday)

Sandown R6 No.7 Bella Tiara 5.50/1.80

Good horse, def look at this race.

Down to 7 runners now so Bella is 2.20 the place (still 5.50 the win)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
