Today marks the start of a massive campaign for The next little 'occy'! Spikes has his first run at warwick farm today in race 5. I will be watching with a keen eye knowing that my money will one day be on him, if not today (just depends on odds)! Paper has him at $11 down here and that is currently making me lick my lips!

Real Deal, I'd sugest he will start about $1.70 ...... hope he lives up to the wrap but there will be none of my hard earned on him at that price

$11.00??? Dream on. Rabbitz is closer to the mark.
It's not a bad race. There's a few good ones in it. I also think Snippetson, Bloodsport and Alpen have a shot. I reckon 7,6,3,2

i kid you not sportz. Todays melbourne herald sun has spikes listed at 11.00, with bloodsport a 4.00 favourite. Normally the odds quoted are around the mark and i can not believe the odds given, surely a mistake.

Hi
Early market nswtab $1.80/$1.04( DFS rating 100) down .5kg last start
beaten .5length by No doubt at all (take holding out)
best overall ratings (DFS) 2 alpen 7 spikes 5 forestreno
Could be an interesting race

Real Deal,
Those odds come from the rating program used by the WA Tabform site and they would be used by most if not all newspapers today. It's $11.00 in the Courier Mail today too. When I said dream on, I wasn't doubting what it said in your paper, I was simply suggesting it would actually start nowhere near those odds.

point taken. I honestly did the form on the race and expected it to jump between $2-$3 with the main dangers being 3,6. Scratchings have hurt the odds as well.

SPIKES is $67.00/$17.50 for the doncaster
I think theyve had this bloke in cotton wool
I reckon they'll be just giving him a run today
1250 is probably not his go,i reckon he'll run 2nd or 3rd
He had one run at canterbury on Oct 28 and came from last and just missed
It will be interesting
Cheers
P.S Sportz I didnt comment earlier that was my singular cousin RABBIT without the z

Oh so it was. Sorry about that.
You can't trust these shady characters without a 'z' in their name. :D

Yeah, pretty much as expected. It dropped out to last and came flying home. Definitely looking for longer!

I can't believe the spruik that is on this horse already, lol. Even when he starts winning races he'll be < 2/1 I guarantee. This is exactly the type of horse I like to bet against.
