Hi fellas.Ā 

How do you want to go about this? I can list them now or do you prefer Raceday?Ā Iā€™ve also got 3 ā€œ Emergenciesā€ ready to go in case of scratchings.Ā

Its up to you DZ. Whenever you want to doesnt bother me. You can make late adjustments for scratchings if they occur.

I note your team the panthers are still 1.85 against the 2.00 away side on the bottom of the NRL ladder Cowboys at your home ground tomorrow night. Are you able to make anything out of that?

    The 'Get On' crew like Savacool & Think Bleue especially but 'Gator' has 'Temple of Bel on top of Sopressa if that's any help.Ā

    Injuries Wadda. They lost their young gun fullback for the season last weekend.Ā Already missing Cleary, Mansour and Blake. They are arguably their best 4 players.

    JJ's has tipped Sopressa and then Savacool in the Oaks.Ā 

    And he is leaning towards Catchy in the Robert Sangster (reading between the lines) Mentioned that barrier 8 is a good one for the horse with the 400m dash to the turn. Ā 

    Anyway,Ā  here's our trifecta ...

    • W/2/3Ā  -Ā  Savacool
    • W/2/3Ā  -Ā  Think Bleue
    • W/2/3Ā  -Ā  Sopressa
    • 2/3Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  -Ā  Pleasuring

    I've got 2 best-bets in Wadda ... the other 2 might take a day or so though.Ā  One mate has gone early and my Super Rugby tip kinda jumped out at me at first glance.Ā  I'll post up the other 2 tips when I get 'em in.

    • Cronulla (1-12) over the Parramatta EelsĀ  $2.75
    • Waratahs (1-12) over the Auckland BluesĀ  $3.10

    Turns out they did get a bit of rain in Adelaide yesterday.

    A Soft6 at the moment but quite windy ... could get back to a Good4 but a Soft5 is a possibility (according to the 'Experts')

    Well,Ā  Silent Warrior should win then ... because JJ is due?Ā  Glass half full here Wadda.Ā Ā 

    I watched the 2 preview shows on fast-forward last night and then listened out for the best bet on RSN this morning and the consensus tip is 'Land of Plenty' in the 7th at Flemington tomorrow (No.8)Ā Ā Ā

    I like land of Plenty but its pretty short. The track says good 4 atm to answer my own question, i didnt notice they put it on the guide there on Racenet.

    He certainly is due.

    Sportsbet is my standby betting agency when Ladbrokes fall short with the options.Ā  They've got the golf top 10 up and available.Ā 

    We look to get around 15-1 up to 25-1 for the first 3 tips in one bet and then add on the golf tip in another bet to win big.Ā  Small outlay of course so the risk is negligible.Ā

    The 'Land Of Plenty' tip from the pundits is more to alert those reading this thread that it could be used as an add-on for multi punters.Ā 

    I'll throw it into a few 3 race multi's.Ā  I reckon 3 is about enough with the horses but they're are still very hard to get.Ā  Again,Ā  low risk with a small outlay.Ā

    Got word back that it will probably be NBA Sunday (our time) ... could be anything though Wadda.Ā  When it comes through I'll post it up.Ā 

    I'm also looking forward to the 4 big races from overseas ... late tomorrow I'll post up the links again but I've picked out my choices after finding a bit more info.Ā 

    Knowing a fair bit about the runners makes watching the races all that more worthwhile - and of course having a wager on them more so again.Ā

    Best Bet:Ā Morphetville R8 No1 Savapinski.

    TAB odds $3.10

    Good run first up and I thought the horse had a very good spring. Should be able to lead from barrier 7 and might be hard to catch.

    Haven't done form for today (as i have said my Autumn has finished) so no best bets but my thoughts on today's group races based on recollection of the exposedĀ form of the horses through Autumn.

    You have to give Qualista a good chance today. Like Savacool, a horse that always runs well. Gets out in front and challenges other horses to catch it and i've said before on this thread i really like good horses that sit on the speed.

    Similarly Sprightly Lass is terrific race horse that does not know how to run a bad race. Looks good value i reckon. Desert Lashes will surely test it though. A good horse.Ā Ā 

    I backed Savapinski last start and it looks to deserve favoritism. But perhaps a little short? I backed Jester Halo and odds last start and it blundered the start, which is always poor but worse when it is a horse that likes to sit on the speed. Came home against the pattern for a fighting 4th and if it gets away allright today has to be chance. Has 3.5kg pull in the weights from Savapinski and due a win.

    Coming Through is really good horse and deserves favoritism in the Hollindale i would have thought but i would not be shocked if Oregon Day runs a bold race. Has been there or thereabouts this Autumn in four group races without winning (three very close seconds and last start 2.9 length 4th to Alizee). At each way odds.Ā

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the Ā Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measlyĀ 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?Ā  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
