For some reason, I just knew that Niagara Falls was going to run well today. I pushed it up higher in my ratings today when the rain came, but still not high enough to put it in the top 5. :o

Well done to Dr Ron, QuickFunBet and Duritz who did have it in their 5.

Quite a few people had Danni Martine in their top 5. Well done.

I ended up backing it. I was amazed at the price. $18.90!!! I thought it would be around 7 or 8 dollars. Good old outside barrier again gives you a better price. I had 3 of the first 4 home and the other one was one of my old favourites Forum Floozie which I've backed so many times. The first 4 paid $40343!

Dr Ron thrashed us all this week:

Dr Ron (80 + 25) 105

Brilliant effort by Dr Ron in MR5 getting the first 4 in his 5 selections. Well done! And after a couple of months, someone has finally scored a duck on one of these races. Bad luck xpt. :o

Thanks forthe acknowledgement sportz, this week I decided to add some bonuses for prepost odds, which obviously helped, especially with niagara falls being the second pick in fridays market at 8.00. It seems fridays market was more accurate than saturdays?

Anyway I was due for one half decent week. Maybe I will stick with my new bonuses.

A pity I missed that Wednesday tipping some weeks back otherwise I might be a bit closer Sportz?

It often is and usually provides better value.

May not have made a lot of difference. If you remember, I decided to only count the best 2 scores out of 3 at that stage, so as to not greatly disadvantage people who couldn't post ratings on that day. I don't think you would have missed out on a whole lot. Probably 20 points at the most.

I would assume that saturdays market is more betting based than fridays which be more of a raw assessment. or am I wrong in my thinking?

A lot of papers around the country use those WA Tabform assessments in Friday's paper. Some papers do have their own prices for their local meetings though. Some of them then have changed markets in Saturday's papers, I guess as you said reflecting movements in betting. But plenty of papers do stick with exactly the same odds in Friday and Saturday papers. If you have a paper that has different markets, I would go with the Friday one. It will often tend to produce better value.
