The Punters went away from 'Silent Sedition' but it won easily.  Far too good for that lot.  The horse looks like it has found its form. 

They came late for it. I saw a 2k bet just before the jump at $4.00. Nice collect for that punter.

Haven't seen Lewis since early in the 1st.

Injured?

Out in my main bet, took a back up with Show a Star for a place so all is not lost!

Still alive here, took a system 3 also, no margin for error from here though. 

Disappointing run from Smart Coupe.

Nibbler  is a gun!!!

Thanks Fox Footy. I just got over Round 23. 

Fantastic opening to the telecast!

Good win Sunlight! 

Looks like Santos has a challenger for the Golden Slipper.

Just now, Demon Jack said:

Hopefully Fritsch is named in the final squad.

Spaghetti arms be damned, this kid has something special. 

There's an interview with Chaplin from this morning on the MFC site. The only thing that stood out was the fact it will be good to see some of the new boys run around today. Mentioned Lever and Fritch only.

Fairly sure the TAB offers that facility and I know that Sportsbet definitely does Wadda.  Ladbrokes doesn't at first glance.  

A good run from Almandin too ... it looked home for a long time there.  Worth following up on all the same

Yes, just placed the multi with a place selection included at the Tab. 

Happy Punting guys!!!

The squad will be cut to either 24 or 26 (have we worked that out yet?) 90 minutes before game time. 

24 according to MFC site.

Show a Star looks every chance D77 ... the standouts are more at Rosehill rather than Caulfield.  The Blue Diamond & Oakleigh Plate are especially difficult.  Still,  it won't mean that we won't get some great racing coupled with some excellent dividends (Tri's & First 4's)

I've put together some small spec multi's & spec trifectas to keep an interest throughout. 

Your pick in the Blue Diamond (Oohood) is a real show too - great closing speed at the finish in all of her races so the extra distance up to 1200m will suit.  I like 'Prairie Fire' for similar reasons and the horse has the inside barrier. 

That's the plan tomorrow Macca. I'll get to the local early enough and put a few of them on for the Caulfield races.  If we're lucky enough to get a collect while watching our boys run around it will be a decent one like you stated.

Smart Coupe is every chance too as previously stated, going back to the Caulfield review of two weeks ago the panel marked her as one to look out for next run. Missing the start was unlike her last time time in.

Tough day coming up tomorrow but we all like a challenge.

Best Bet- Rosehill R2 No.1- Show A Star. Fixed odds $3.00

This race lacks depth and the horse will carry 55kg after the claim. The smallish field will enable the horse to get to the front without too much pressure (hopefully) and could be hard to run down again. Show A Star was also nominated for Race 6 at Rosehill where the horse was weighted at 53.5kg. The fact they chose Race 2 made me lean towards him as the "Best".

Best Roughie - Caulfield R2 No.6 Belfast.

Fixed odds- $ 12.00 W $3.40P

Blue Diamond Pick- No.16 Oohood. Fixed. $7.00W $2.75P

Still a Maiden ( should be unbeaten) but has been beaten by less than a length all 3 starts. Likes to settle mid/rear and can finish strongly as seen in all runs to date. If Currie is lucky enough to slot into a good position from 10 and get some cover, with a genuinely hot pace she could run over the top of them.

That's it!!!

He's on ignore!

Great discussion guys, enjoyed it very much.

Hannan came into the round 1 team last season on the back of one Casey game. From memory it was the week before the opening game.

As much as we'd like to see Spargo and Baker get a run this JLT, there's no need to rush them.

Out of the recent draftees Fritch looks most likely to get a game. 

I'd like to see Keilty and King get a game before Spargo and Baker at this stage.

I'm going early again this week with my best bet (Rosehill) ...

Best Bet  Rosehill  Race 3 No.4  Sunlight ($2.80) ... coming off her Magic Millions triumph the horse looks well placed here with only 7 running.  The 6 week break will have freshened the horse up as well. 

I like a few others at Rosehill this week but this horse was the standout because of her obvious class.  She won't have it all her own way but I reckon she wins.  

Going early is probably a good way to do it this week Macca. Pick it and stick to it.

I've just gone through the Melbourne and Sydney fields and the racing certainly cranks up this week.

The Oakleigh Plate is a cracking race, the horse I liked for the Blue Diamond has drawn the car park (Written By 18).

The Hartnell race is a tricky one. Gailo Chop and Single Gaze look like serious players in that one.

Brave Smash stands out as the one so far in the Futurity to me.

Show A Star in Sydney has drawn barrier 11. The way it won its last two starts suggests they will push to the lead from the jump, the barrier shouldn't be that much of a concern though as his tactical speed is good. I just noticed an early scratching so barrier 10 now. 

I will study over the next two days and wait for scratchings and declare on Saturday morning.

Wow, too much going on this Saturday, might have to venture down to the local and catch the footy and the racing without channel flicking.

Indeed there is. I just sent the boys an amended show notes list. It could be a long show.

The show is LIVE tonight at 8:30pm http://demonland.com/podcast

I'm just gutted that I have to work until after 10 tonight, will definitely catch the repeat when I get home. Have a great show and love all the work you guys do.

Great time for a return. Plenty to talk about tonight.

An acquaintance at work joined up at Ladbrokes last week and received a fair wad in bonus bets as a consequence. 

Plonked most of it on Redkirk Warrior and cleaned right up ... however most I know were on Redzel or included it 'one-out' and lost out. 

It will be interesting to see what odds both horses are at their next start (The Newmarket Hcp?)  ... Redkirk Warrior won last year's Newmarket. 

Redkirk Warrior is currently $8.00 for the Newmarket. Equal favourites are Merchant Navy and Redzel (Doubtful) at $5.50.

Nice pick by your work colleague. Some of these betting agencies make you turn over the winnings from bonus bets prior to withdrawal which is a pain in the backside.

Slow start to the third quarter allowing them two cheap goals and all of a sudden it was catch-up footy due to the bad kicking early.

Correction to my earlier post re tonight's game being on 7Mate.  That is only for Perth

What a load of rubbish! The Pies v Freo game was shown live on 7 into Melbourne last week.

Seems like Carlton and Collingwood are the only ones to get games live on 7.

With only 2 JLT games it will be interesting to see if we go full strength for both games.

Are we happy for some of our best to go into the opener on the back of one JLT game?

Yep D77 after 53 years I must be nuts.

Can't imagine how you've hung on OD, it's only 30 years for me, yet we keep coming back.

2 from 4 today D77 ... it was on the cards that we'd miss 2 out of the 4. 

Overall - 8 from 11 with two 2nds so we're not far off. 

If Cliff's Edge had have held on I was winning plenty.  Same for Redzel.  Like a few others I was uneasy re Redzel but it took a great run from Redkirk Warrior to beat it. 

As for the other feature race (The Apollo Stakes) I had Addictive Nature going in a small multi but it was very good win by Endless Drama - too good.  The first 4 across the line are worth keeping an eye on. 

Today I played the 4 combos x3. Lol, of course we'd get two. Can't complain though, Santos made me a small profit. 

Maybe with a slightly easier run Cliff's Edge wins.

In the Apollo I had Global Glamour to win straight out, she ran well considering she put a quick pace on up front. 

Redkirk Warrior is a specialist first-up horse down the straight but I couldn't see Redzel losing. It flew home.

Bad luck on Deploy. 

It looked like something happened to Deploy the way it stopped. Finished a bad last.

Cliff's Edge was very game sitting 3 wide the whole trip and only tiring the last 50m after kicking away early in the straight.
