I missed the boat with the good place dividend Wadda. I saw $16 and $5 on TAB this morning and didn’t take it. Thought I’d wait. That was one decent plunge late.( It wasn’t me)

I thought it was a very good run considering he was trapped the widest for the majority. Couldn’t get a decent spot. I’m not suggesting the horse would have won but it would have finished a lot closer.

Anyways, on to Saturday fellas.

Voodoo Lad going around again at Caulfield and is second fav at around 3.50 in the main race,

Also Nature Strip goes to Adelaide at 1.50

Yes its beyond me Macca, no idea really. If its anything like the old system im pretty sure you have to win to go up in grade.

According to this article on racing.com a horse can be penalised 3-5 points for winning and 1-2 points for finishing 2nd or 3rd.  That's the short answer but there are discretionary powers at play as well. 

El Magnificence may go from a rating of 62 to 63 or 64 but I'm only guessing Wadda.  Those extra 2 ratings points amounts to 1 extra kg in a BM64 race. 

The winner would probably be penalised to a point where it might have to race in higher benchmark races.

If Gator Picks Voodoo Lad I'm on it ?... may or may not make it my best bet though.  There's a few others in a few of the other races that I've got my eye on as well.

And the Nature Strip/Sunlight match-race has quinella written all over it ... the exacta will pay more but which horse wins?  They've both got speed to burn.

That’s pretty much how I remember the ratings Macca although I haven’t looked into them lately. The first horse I was involved in won a Maiden in his second start and was allocated a rating of 62 post race.

He went in as the top weight at Wodonga in his next race which he won and jumped to a 66. The article seems on the money. 

Interestingly with El, he was a 62 after his maiden win. Went up to 63 after the 5th in his first up run to Double Jeopardy, remained a 63 after the 5th to Nature Strip and went in as a 62 today after his 4th a fortnight ago at Sandown. The horse lost one rating point from that 4th placing. 

He is currently a 62 but unsure if the rating has been updated from today.

Its up against a pretty good horse whos fav, cant remember, but its at Caulfield....Voodoo likes it there.

Nothing wrong with having a quinella as your BB.

 

Best bet ...

Rosehill  Race 7  No.4 Invinzabeel  $6.00

Very consistent horse and has drawn to do very little work with the inside gate.  Trained by Waller with Shinn on board,  it's also been tipped to win by Gator & Brad Davidson.  The 1400m is the horse's ideal distance and it races well at Rosehill. 


Best Bet.

Morphetville Race 5 No.8 MUSSOORIE MAGIC

TAB Odds: $2.50

Promising 3yr old, won well last start and looks an exciting staying prospect. Is taking on some older horses but it drops somewhat in class.

Wide barrier shouldn’t be a concern at this trip and looks a very good chance of winning.

In other racing news, Captain Harry is going around again at $16. This time it’s back at Caulfield in R8. Much harder than Adelaide last week, the boys from work said the horse eased up when it got to the front a tad early last week and only got going again when the eventual winner went by him on the inside.

I’ll also keep a keen eye out for Mount Kilcoy. Another exciting young stayer and the 2400m seems ideal again.

That wraps up this morning’s news.

Mussoorie Magic has been scratched DZ ?

I've put Mount Kilkoy in a couple of boosted-odds doubles ... I tend to do that with the short priced favourites.   Invinzabeel has shortened too - it was Gator's best bet though. 

JJ's best bet is in race 8 at Morphettville ... No.12  Nodoubtaboutit  $6.00 ... he went winless last week which was surprising.  I would have had a real good day if he'd got his usual 3+ winners. 

Gator tipped 6 winners last week - 3 each at Flemington & Randwick.   He's in hot form.

I’ll follow Gator tomorrow.

I do like Mount Kilcoy, I’ll do some more form tonight and see if I can find better value. 

I do have a bet going in the footy tonight. Parker to kick 2 or more goals and Sydney to win @$6.

He’s on 1 currently. 

Thought I’d try my luck tonight and build a kitty for tomorrow, been a while since I’ve had a flutter on the footy.

I’m leaning towards Sunlight Macca. 7kg less than Nature Strip and Tony McEvoy says she’s in good order after her recent trial win.

Tony McEvoy on:

Advantages for Sunlight - Class and the lightweight.

Disadvantage - Nature Strip has been racing all winter and Sunlight is first-up. 

Should be a great battle and the $2.50 on offer might be worth including in a double with Mount Kilcoy.

Ok.....im going for Voodoo Lad.........Caulfield race 7 No3. Vega Magic is tough opposition, but an inform Voodoo is worth the risk.

Best Bet:

Rosehill Race 6 No8. Foreign Territory $3.40

Drawn well, horse will lead and could hard to catch. Back to 1400m and a winner at this distance previously. Clark riding for the Waterhouse/Bott combo.

My selection not good enough today Wadda. Had a great spot in the run and every possible chance but the one they backed late was too good.

And we''re out of the multi early ... Foreign Territory looked good hitting the straight but Paret was too good. 

All is not lost though as I've backed the other 2 to win ... hoping for at least 1 winner out of the 2 to break even on the 3 pick combination.

Yes the late plunge gets up...unfortunately when doing multis you dont have the luxury of getting on the plunges......

Nevermind, im going again with the other 2 and the odd multi with a few teams....see how we go.

Invinzabeel never really looked like it.

Vega Magic way way too good ... Everest-like form. 

Made some good horses look quite ordinary.

Voodoo not good enough today.......strange ride, was never gonna catch Vega from there......exacta paid 4.10.

That is a very good dividend Wadda ... 3-1 odds for the best 2 horses in the race (if you had them in the right order!)

yeah i reckon....pfft!

I had the quinella, but paid 1.90.

Haha, love the call “ What’s going to run second? I’m not sure it will be Sunlight, it will be daylight!

Wow wee!!

Edited by Dee Zephyr

And Nature Strip wins in commanding fashion ... another dead-set candidate for the Everest after that run. 

Sunlight might have needed the run but the horse was outclassed if we're being honest.

  • 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.

    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?
