Surround's Selections

[Surround]

Trying something different here after much gnashing of teeth and navel gazing following my previous tragic effort some time back.

Canterbury R5 - 1 Warm Ride

Echuca R6 - 1 Itsechuca xxx

Toowoomba R4 - 2 Bouretta

Mooney Valley R4 - 2 Highclere

Doomben R5 - 2 Tornado Alley

Morphetville R4 - 5 Stage Boy

God give 'em strength and long noses

Good luck to all having a go tomorrow.

Well not so great - again.

I'll crawl back in my hole and sulk for a bit I reckon.
Finished with 1 win plus another 2 placings from 5 starters.
I've been taught a lesson however, as I shouldn't have posted 'till after scratchings.(If I ever post again)
I hate, and don't bet in small fields on odds on shots i.e. Echuca.
I think the fav gets rolled more often than not in these events.
I wasn't particularly worried regarding too much rain overnight.
I must admit last night I thought Itsechuca a good thing.
The Echuca race was decimated with half the field staying home and only 5 running round.
There were a hell of a lot of scratchings from the program at Echuca, so assume the heat could have had something to do with it.
I'll be looking seriously at Ascot Race1 -1 Modaney and Race5 - 2 Empire Dancer tomorrow.
Just got to suss out Modaney's reluctance to win at Ascot.
Has been running in higher clas races than Kim Invader to date.(not winning)

Good luck, and lets hope everyone has a safe and prosperous New Year with a winner or three thrown in when we really need it.
