Speaking of which ... 'Despatch' is running around in race 9 at Flemington

Another scratching in the race Macca so one more needed for ‘El Magnificence’ to gain a start. Mate is very excited about the horse’s prospects. ‘Despatch’ holding favouritism currently.

Didn't realise it was the same race ... we don't want to be betting against each other!!

Forget Despatch ... go El Magnificence!

Maybe a trifecta race if I'm up on the day.

No biggie Macca. If the horse does gain a run I’ll be putting a few dollars each way on it at those odds and those races down the straight can throw a few bolters in the placings. A small trifecta or first 4 wouldn’t hurt. Mate is more excited about the horse’s future. 

 

 Best Bet: Doomben Race4 No.5 Sedanzer

TAB Odds: $2.90

Scone Cup winner two starts ago and a terrific finishing effort last start to place 3rd by less than 2 lengths. Dropping 2.5kg from last run and will carry 6kg less than Ambitious. Could be the difference if the track remains heavy.

Stradbroke Trifecta Selection.

Number 15 Perast. Odds- $7.00(W) $2.70(P)

The horse has definitely found some form with 2 wins in a row. Coming in with a light weight and has to be a decent chance to run a place.

Perast will find the lead and prove mighty hard to run down. But i think will be. Just.

I know that i am supposed to wait until you all make your selections, but i'm in a bit of a bind. I have to drive to Ballarat today (to sit in cold bball stadiums - my son has a tournament there this weekend).

I've done my form and made my selctions

I'll wait for a while and just before i go check if the selections are up. If not i'll put up my analysis and tips for the race (1-4) and if for instance the winner or a place getters matches other's selections just take the horses not covered (assuming there is one)?

I'm leaving just before 12.

I like it too. Great first up record (7: 4 - 2), something i always put great stock in. Likes it soft (9: 4 - 4) and Weir really is a brilliant trainer. Above all a good racehorse

I worry that it might get too far back as i expect the race to favour those on speed and near the rail (i suspect Monstar and perst will vie for the lea, with Perast winning that mini battle)

Looks like there is 3 or 4 scratchings in the race now DZ, so El Magnifico will get a run.......$26 and $7.50 on ladbrokes

Best Bet: Doomben Race 3 No 1 Peaceful State TAB price $4.40


I'll take Santa Ana Lane in the Stradbroke.  Here's how we sit ...

 

 

Best Bets: 

Doomben Race4 No.5 Sedanzer    $2.90

Belmont Race 5 No. 4 Art Series  $7.00

Doomben Race 3 No. 1 Peaceful State $4.40

Thats a total of $89.00 approx for your $1.00 Good Punting

I have also put on a multi with 'Art Series' for the place only (with Sedanzer & Peaceful State to both win)  ... paying 30-1. 

In fact,  I have done a few place multi's today ... 'Heavenly Thought & Prompt Response also both offer decent odds for the place.  Might be the way to go today Wadda. 

The horses i marked for this race were Champagne Cuddles (on top) from (not in order) Perast, Voodoo lad , Impending, Invincible gem.

So given we have  Perast and Voodoo Lad already so for the DL trif i am going to select:

  • Champagne Cuddles
  • Invincible gem

Impending has to be a big show and i'm sure will run well. But the weight might stop him and Invincible Gem puts some value into the trif (although there is a bit in already)

Well Macca, as you know ive always been a fan of the place all up and multi. Theres always a few good ones to be found. Those ones of yours are certainly worth including in a few multis.

I also like Youngstar at Doomben Race 7 No16. Fillie whose won 4 on the trot, taking on the boys for the first time and drops 2kg in wieght $8.00 & $2.70. I also like French Emotion $3.70 plc in race 8.


Ok,  here's our 5 picks for the Stradbroke Handicap

  • Perast
  • Voodoo Lad
  • Santa Ana Lane
  • Champagne Cuddles
  • Invincible Gem

Lots of value there so good luck with however which way your betting strategy plays out.  If any 3 of the 5 feature in the finish the trifecta is sure to pay well.

Well,  we could always put together a place card Wadda ... another weekly task!  Only joking - we're doing quite enough already. 

Peaceful State put me out of my place multi but I decided to go again with the others as a saver bet.  Playing with house money as I did ok out of the 4th race at Doomben.

No idea what happened to Peaceful State...10th? Very poor run. Disappointing.

Well,  we missed with Super Cash but you can't have them all.   Whilst the lightweights stood out pre-race Santa Ana Lane was carrying 3 kgs less than its last run - and that was in a Group 1 race over 1200m.   Relished the going too. 

Healthy dividends in the exotics and once again the placings were filled by the classy types.  Close but no cigar.

2 dead heats today one at Flemington and one at Morphetville. Unusual.


Great run by El Magnificence. Right up there in a big field on a chopped up track. Big watch for the next race. Only its 3rd run, still learning. If hes any good, you may have to change your name DZ to Dee Magnifico !

Haha, Wadda.

Mate said the horse had done everything right leading up to today. They weren’t too sure how it would go first-up but it was a very good return in the end. Shows a lot of ability this horse and you would think a win is not too far away.

Yeah El Magnificence ran very well didn't it DZ.  As Wadda said,  one to definitely watch.  My tip in the West 'Art Series' was disappointing but the horse had no cover in the run. 

Onto Belmont Park tomorrow morning for me - I've taken a few doubles involving the Belmont Stakes and the preceding race,  the Group 1 Manhattan Stakes.  It's a pity the meeting isn't on the free-to-air station but ESPN are covering the 2 main races at least.   They like a good build up in the States - 65 minutes lead up time to both races!  That's time for 3 shouts over here.

Haha, Macca. That’s gold!

Oh yeah, the build up in all sports over there is something else. Showtime! I must admit I do enjoy some of their gimmicks, especially the projector shows on the ice in the NHL.

Is the Belmont Stakes at 8.46am tomorrow?

Yep ... coverage on ESPN starts at 7.00am and the Manhattan Stakes is on at 7.40am.  It's a step up from 1900m to 2400m for 'Justify' but I'd like to see it take out the Triple Crown.  Bravazo & Tenfold could be running on as they did in the Preakness (they finished 2nd & 3rd respectively)

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
