Yep ... and after winning the Edward Manifold just 1 week ago - flew home! Our pick Smart Melody looked like it found the distance a bit too long. Anyway, DK Weir does it again along with Craig Williams. The Wakeful and/or the Oaks now. Although as Darren Weir said, the horse has done enough already after winning this Group 1 race.

I have boxed your choices in race 9 in a trifecta ... the track up there isn't playing too badly at all. They are a couple of seconds off the better times but the gap isn't that much at all, all things considered.

Sunlight - all class! The day starts well again.

Well they ran 59.70 for the 1000m in the first at Randwick which isn't that slow ... they didn't seem to cut the track up too much either. We'll know more after a couple more races. 'Champagne Boom' looked very impressive winning the first at Caulfield ... cruised to the line and the Hayes group looked to have unearthed another classy type.

Seeing we're on a new page here are our best bets again collated by Wadda (above) The Randwick track is rated as a Heavy9 and showers are predicted for the late morning and the late afternoon. There's been a lot of scratchings up North and the heavy track form will come to the fore especially in the 'Everest'.

I am really enjoying these Nations League games ... the big match-ups are a great departure from the often lop-sided fixtures that can happen with 'Friendlies' As time goes on, the countries will take the games very seriously as a number of Countries already are.

Click on sports at the top and then the 7th category down on 'Quick links' is UEFA Nations League ... click on that and all the matches will appear.

I'm glad you do these collations Wadda as it reminds me to put on the multi with the help of the booster odds. As you know, Laddies give out a daily allowance of booster bets so it pays to take advantage from Friday into Saturday. Cheers

Randwick is currently a Heavy9 and they are hoping for a Heavy8 if there isn't any more rain ... but rain is forecast for Sydney tonight & tomorrow so it could be a real bog. Related - The talk emanating from Sydney is that they're quite keen to change a number of their racing dates to mid November up to early December where the weather is a lot more kinder. The Everest along with the 'Championships' held in April could move to the later dates. Top choice with Voodoo Lad Wadda ... loves the track and is in top form. Hutchy's top pick too.

I forgot you were a Packers fan Wadda ... we need a win so let's hope Rodgers can have a day-out. Lambeau helps a lot and the team will be smarting from recent performances. Hartnell I like too ... was ultra-impressive in the Epsom Hcp and I marked it at or near the top in the Toorak Hcp. Might do the double hey?

Gator has your horse as his best bet DZ along with 'The Autumn Sun' in the Guineas and he is in good form with his tips (as per usual) But I don't mind 'Oohood' getting into the finish in the Guineas and 'Native Soldier' could scoot away around the final turn as well. The Speed map for the race has Native Soldier settling 1st or 2nd. And Oohood has charged home to get into the finish in every one of its 10 races and it has run sharp times, every time.

You did well going 'local' last week Wadda and Germany have struggled of late - however, the Netherlands looked way overs to a point that it kinda put me off. So I ended up settling on Belgium & Spain. There are a number of 'Nordic' countries in action this weekend but DZ has already nominated Norway.

4 tips in so far - 2 of the games are on tomorrow morning (Saturday morning) Uefa Nations League Saturday @5:45 Greece v Hungary - Greece Win $1.75 Nations League Saturday 5.45am $2.05 Belgium Win & Match Score of +2.5 Goals vs Switzerland Uefa Nations League Sunday @03:00 Norway v Slovenia - Norway Win $1.68 Nations League Tuesday 5.45am $2.85 Spain Win & Match Score of +2.5 Goals vs England That gives us combined odds of 17-1 or thereabouts.

Racing at Cranbourne tonight as part of their carnival with the feature event being Race 7 - The Inglis Pinker Pinker Plate - worth $100k. It's not a bad betting race even though it's a small field. On Sunday they race in the Cranbourne Cup worth a cool $350k ... a good field assembled for the race too. But tomorrow's Caulfield meeting rivals Derby Day these days. And up at Randwick they've added the 'Kosciuszko' & the 'St Leger Stakes' to an already more than decent card. The heavy track may not suit a few in the Everest now so the race might be a little easier to dissect.

Most sports fans are the same - win and they're all-in. Lose and we often see the hate & anger. And the venting. However, we have been incredibly well rewarded with the Test side over the years in terms of absolute success so I can easily ride out the tough times. The Test side has been Hawthorn-like in actuality. We've been spoilt.

We held on @Wadda We Sing ... shame about your bet!! ? This draw is better than a number of wins I've witnessed. A tremendous fighting performance and that's a great way to win back the support from the cricket fans.

Yeah I've seen them all ... Thommo was superhuman live Wadda. I couldn't fathom how anyone could ever bowl that quick. Lillee was great. I was hooked earlier though. Win, lose or draw this has been a fantastic Test match ... by the way, I don''t care much for ODI's or T20's but I acknowledge the popularity of those versions of the sport. The Aussies will have another great era soon enough but right now, we're a long way away from having an A grade batting line-up. The bowling is more than decent when they're all available. 6 balls left with 2 wickets in hand. Tense!

Here are my 2 best bets for the weekend ... Nations League Saturday 5.45am $2.05 Belgium Win & Match Score of +2.5 Goals vs Switzerland Nations League Tuesday 5.45am $2.85 Spain Win & Match Score of +2.5 Goals vs England

Well we just lost 3 quick wickets so we'll do well to get out of this now Wadda. As for the ball tampering, none of those playing now were involved with that stuff. Coach is gone too. The reality is that I'm a real cricket fan - an absolute fanatic. Losing any Test match is like how many of us felt at half time of the preliminary final. I've probably watched a high proportion of all the deliveries in at least 400 tests involving Australia. That's about 12,000 hours - live. I can't get enough of it.

Best Bet Caulfield Race 3 No.1 Sunlight $3.10 The horse ran a blistering 44.80 over 800m in a trial on Monday whilst streeting her rivals so we may be seeing Sunlight return to her absolute best.

I bleed Green & Gold so ypu're talking to the wrong bloke Wadda!!! Ha ha. But it is no bother ... I'm just being transparent as you are. Betting against the cricket team is akin to betting against the Demons. I can't and won't do it. And we demand to see video evidence of those Cartwheels in Copenhagen!

There's way too much to cover in terms of finding the 5 best betting races this weekend ... a case could be made for at least a dozen good betting races at Caulfield & Randwick. I listed 16 very competitive races including a couple of listed races at Morphettville. And there are 7 newly imported horses contesting the Caulfield Stakes & the Herbert Power Stakes just to complicate matters further for the punters. Benbatl, The Cliffsofmoher & Blair House are the 3 to watch in the Caulfield Stakes. Racenet have done us the courtesy of rating the imports which is a real help.
