The pool will likely double today. The Pick 4 will be the 1st 4 races at Sunshine Coast this time. I need the winners of each of these races. HAHA.

Hopefully some of our more learned colleagues will help you out Glenn, SC (Sunday) not one of my happy hunting grounds :(

Hmmm, that doesn't seem like a huge amount of money for something like that and you've got some hard races to pick. I find Sunshine Coast on a Sunday notoriously tough to pick and 3 out of those 4 are maidens. AND on a wet track. I'll have a bit of a look for you, but I can't promise anything because those races look tough.

There you go Glenn, a possible start ;) hopefully Sportz will come back with the goods.

i like:

Race 1: 1,7,8

Race 2: 4,1,13

Race 3: 1,2,3

Race 4: 2,4,5,9

i'm sure sportz will put in some good ones, maybe you can put the two together!!

Thanks. Yes, it's a tough task, and the North American pool is small. However, it is likely that only one punter might score it all, unless it's too easy.

A point you might want to consider. Conditions & rail positions could lead to the same thing happening as last Sunday. At that meeting, almost all of the races were won by horses with wide barriers and barrier 1 horses never even managed a placing all day.

Okay, for what it's worth, here are some thoughts:

R1: 1-3-8-15
A tough race. Trainer Bruce McLaughlan has 4 good chances (1, 3, 7 & 8) Of these, I favour 1 & 3 slightly. Another rough chance is the 15 with Byrne riding.

R2: 1-4-5-15
Another tough race. I think number 1 is the best horse in this race though and it would be my pick. Away from him, any number of chances, 4, 5, 10, 12, 13 & 15.

R3: 1-3
A toss up between number 1 & number 3 here I think.

R4: 8-2-4-5
My top pick here would be number 8 just ahead of number 2. Many other chances though - 1, 4, 5, 9, 14 & 17

As you can see, I'm not confident. Perhaps you should check out xptdriver's ratings for today. Look under 'Caloundra'.

Thanks, Sportz, Chuck. I will look at XPTs picks too.

I doubt that.

Old habits die hard I'm afraid... I still sometimes refer to Yarra Valley as Yarra Glen... ah well

As for those races at Caloundra (SS Coast) I dont think there are 4 harder races one after the other today anywhere ... Heavy Track, maidens, geez its a big ask... my advice look pretty wide, maybe disreagrd the favs? it is a tough tough assignment... because i would think that there is bound to be an upset in at least one of those races

Yeah, that's my thought too. I would be surprised if there's no surprise. :D

Just had a look at something. You could do worse than simply take the outside 2 barriers in each race. Except perhaps R3 where I really think number 1 or 3 should win it.

A promising start for the pick four ... had the winner on top at the right odds... no sign of the fav

So much for that theory. Barrier 1 salutes in the first. Anyway, I'm glad you had Jebsen Champion. xpt had it rated on top. Well done xpt. I actually would have had it on top too, but for my silly theory about the barriers. Anyway, I managed to get the quinella in my 4 picks so not too bad.

Sorry Glenn. I should have at least had number 10 in my top 4 for that race. :o

Well Glenn, I reckon if anybody got all 4 winners, they probably would have scooped the pool. How did you go?

No one picked 4 yesterday. I had the 1st race and 1 other. Today, it's the 1st 4 at Coffs Harbour. I'll be trying again. Haven't checked the weather
yet. We get only the 1st 5 races at Coffs, and the 1st 4 races at Nowra.

Again, not really keen on these races and I haven't actually studied them much, but here's my quick thoughts.

R1: 5-11-14-3-15
R2: 3-12
R3: 14-7-12-3-2
R4: 2-5

Thanks, Sportz. You tagged the 1st race, I only have 3 to go. HA.

Tonight it only took them until the 2nd race to retire me from the pick 4. I had the 8 in my quinella, but not tied to the 6.

Glenn
