Best bet.

Race 6 Morphetville no 2 Beau Rossa $3.90

back to 1300 which suits better than the 1600 I reckon 

Best Bet (Saturday)

Hawkesbury R5 #5 Athiri (Win) $3.10

Looks a backable double in my view - $12 dividend (with a boost)

    The Sydney carnival is done & dusted but the Group racing continues on in S.A. & QLD as well as the big Group 1's from overseas.  The Kentucky Derby will be run this weekend along with the 2000 Guineas from Newmarket

    My preference are '2-race' doubles in the overseas Group 1's unless my fancied runner is at each-way odds

    The links to the overseas racing will take you to the Racing Post site where the regular tipster there is quite good - full odds & tips appear the day before the race (i.e. Friday's if the racing is on the Saturday)

    Nice one Gorg

    I got a handy collect on the win ... didn't see the race but sounded like an impressive win

    Definitely a horse to follow

    An ADATR Blackbooker!

    Yeah a very nice run, sat well in the pack then moved out and turned it on and when challenged went again. 1200-1300 is his sweet spot. Anything over and I wouldn’t be as confident.

    Blaze sat right back then when it tried to move through it couldn’t get the gap until late, when it got going it hit held up then had to go again. Streetcar sat just off the leaders where it’s usually known as a back marker.

    Kah is getting better and better

    And 'Zaaki' looks like another more than decent import too ... won the Hollindale in fine style beating a crack field

    Doomben Cup next up you'd imagine Gorg.  Definitely one to follow after Saturday's performance

    And Explosive Jack won well (SA Derby) despite being 3 wide without cover for a lot of the race.  A real good horse but because it's a colt, we may not see the horse for too much longer.  Worth a mint at stud already

    Been getting a few winners overseas of late ... that Racing Post tipster knows his stuff!  3 winners last night thank you very much!

    I was on Let’s Kraka deel and it ran very well but EJ was just next level.

    Started the Day well with Ruby Skye and a few small wins along the way. Glad to hear you did well in the OS races.

     

    I’m looking forward to the Goodwood this Sat. Beau Rossa up against better horses, it’s at $9 so I used a bonus bet early in case to comes in, tougher field so we will see what he is made of.

    I’m hoping the track firms from a soft 5 for Saturday’s goodwood. It’s such a good field.

    Flemington Race 3,

    no 2 Ididitforlove $6 win

    Best Bet Flemington Saturday

    R2 No.1 Star of Eden 6.00/2.00

     

    Handy sort of double at around 30-1 or more (with a boost)

    Promises to be a top day at both Morphettville & Doomben with value about, right throughout each program

    Excellent program at Rosehill too along with the Andrew Ramsden feature @ Flemington (the winner gets automatically included in the Melbourne Cup)

    Good luck punters!

    Well Gorg, if we win, we're going to win early!

    I got 30-1 for the double but have backed both to win as well

    Win early (like the Patriots have done ad nauseum) and then sit back and enjoy!

    I'm betting in all 4 locations tomorrow but only small bets and nearly all are exactas

    There's some real value about with the exotics and will only need a few good combo's to salute to do ok

    The 2 sprint G1's will be keenly contested ... the 2 hot favourites could both win but strong fields often throw up the value winners

    Dirty Work @ $15 in the Goodwood and Vega One @ $15 in the 10,000 could easily feature

    The goodwood really interests me, I love Beau and I’ve been a fan of Behemoth but also instant celebrity is a great horse. Dirty work at 15 is great odds, if you nail a tri/f4 I reckon it pays well. 
    May the horses we back run first!

    So many winners in the teens and beyond at Flem and Morphettville. Crazy day trying to get winners.

    Yep, no luck here with exactas today Gorg

    Might do better in the UK tonight

    Savatoxl has been running very well but I didn't see it beating that field in the Goodwood. 

    Terrific ride by Vorster & the McEvoy's do it again

    Eduardo just too good for them in the 10,000

    Yeah I didn’t see a lot of horses that won wining, Sava was just one of them.

    Ive backed Lord Vladivostok a few times and looked at it this time but didn’t. 
    such is the punt. 
     

    Good luck tonight!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
