Alizee now out to 18.00 (enhanced) in the Coolmore Classic ... that's overs.  A beaten favourite last start finishing 6th but only 1.8 lengths off the winner (Shoals)

I've included it in a trifecta as a possible winner ... good/class horses always deserve a 2nd chance.

    Alister Clarke Stakes on in 15 minutes ... Cliff's Edge is now odds on but should be too classy for this lot.   Hope so anyway :ph34r:

    I wanted tp take Cliffs Edge as my best bet, but i thought it was best to stick to the Saturday otherwise it will start getting messy. What did it pay in the end?

    Not a lot Wadda. In the end $1.65 fixed. Not sure if a higher price was on offer.

    So here are the 3 best bets (with 1 more to follow) ...

    Rosehill  Race 4  No.1  Written By (2.30 enhanced)

    Flemington  Race 5  No.1  Tosen Stardom  (2.45 best available)

    Morphettville  Race 9  No.5  Despatch  (3.30 best available)

    A multi returns about 14-1 as Wadda indicated but backing the horses separately could return about 18-1 if you let the winnings ride. 

    I like all 3 tips and I reckon we're in with a big show this week. 

     

    Not sure what you mean by this? Do you mean roll over your winning onto the next horse.....because the tote will pay more than fixed?

    Yeah Wadda I meant that if you took the first leg at best possible fixed odds (or enhanced/boosted odds) and then let the winnings roll over to the next leg where you bet the same way.  The odds can end up being better overall by doing it that way. 

    Anyway,  I've done my usual bets with our picks ... multi up the 4 (out already with 'Hear the Chant' not winning!) and then a small outlay on the 4 trebles.

    James Jordan picked the trifecta in order in the 1st at Morphettville.  If he keeps that up we'll have discovered a licence to print money :ph34r:

    Does he only give them out before each race though? Has he any bets he mentioned for later on??

    Ah ok,  i thought that was what you meant. I would find it hard to put that 3rd race on after winning the first 2...haha....take the money and run. Thats kinda why multis are so good.

    I missed Hear the Chant....bad luck BM, next week is always better.

    Well on Racing.com the 'Best-bets; were the same except the 4 was named 4th instead of the 7.   So the first 3 picks were the same. 

    Tim Edwards also put his tips up but I don't know anything about him. 

    The 'Best-bet' picks have been up since Wednesday where as Tim's tips only went up today. 

    I'm just going to keep an eye out ... are you on twitter Wadda?  Maybe we could find out his tips that way

    Well we know that James gives his tips out just before the race so that's something.

    I did my form for Flemington based on it being a leaders tracks and if i proved to be correct was confident Holbien would lead and win. It looks like i was right about the leaders track and if so i could well be in for a good day as i have backed leaders from go to whoa.

    Just noticed the winner at Morphetville R2 was ridden by the trainer. Unless there are two Shayne Cahills out there. Nice divvy by the way.

    Nice win by 'Sunlight' although she didn't have it all her way ... needed the gallop according to the jockey & trainer.

    Written By had to fight hard to keep that cheeky Sandbar at bay. The Slipper looms as a cracking race.

    Yeah D77 ... 'Sandbar' wasn't far away (1.4 lengths) in it's last run won by Santos.  'Written By' ran half a second quicker than Sunlight today as well.  Races are raced with different tempo's so the time isn't the be all and end all. 

    But as you said,  the Slipper could be a beauty.

    Yep ... it's either unexplainable or there's possibly a good reason. 

    Tosen will be decent odds in its next run.   It was beaten a long way from home.

    You’ve talked me into it Macca. A flutter at those odds can’t hurt.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
