The cynic in me
 

MARUBOS (winner York 1) surprisingly well thought of for a nag who has run last past 2 starts beaten 9len and 10.5lens albeit at Belmont :rolleyes:

Grafton! Northern NSW?

That's it try 1,2,6,9 in the last. I will be on the 1

Perhaps not :confused:

Fav in the next at York is a neddie called Perfect Angel from memory one of proxy's to follow ;)

Oh perhaps yes :) Thanks I'll have a punt!

I backed the wrong one, I did not think P Graham could ride 4 winners. Anyhow you guys in the West make sure that you follow him and Ms S Drake in QLD.

you know if I look at your numbers without my glasses AB51, the one almost looks like an eleven :D

YORK R4
 

Blinkers come off Black Shadow C3 winner 2200 Bunbury so will do me.
The toppy Victory Trio a bit short has good recent York form and good run last start this distance.
I thought Super Sentele would be longer odds last couple runs at Northam good.
Oaksville capable EW.

little fish are sweet
 

Well the tri might have only paid $26.50 :rolleyes: but that's still a 10.42% POT if you boxed them for $1 unit. Not bad for a few minutes investment ;)

Happy Dis
 

Was thinking of backing Happy Dis in the next at York but currently showing $1.50 / $1.04 :eek:

Think I'll just watch!

little fish are sweet
 

Like sardines myself!
Especially at Cicerellos Mandurah. Yum!! :)

sometimes it pays to say no
 

2nd paid $1.04! Was worth the watch :D

lucky last
 

I’ve already posted my selection for the last at York - Freaky Kontiki but I also have a liking EW for Precious Resource. Been freshened after a few below average performances and does seem to do best early in his campaigns. At the 14/1 currently on offer might make for a good saver.

Last looks pretty tuff! I've settled on (2) Classic Quarters.
2 starts back close 2nd class3 this course distance back to a class2.
A couple of good runs at Belmont not that long ago. Should be handy in running and a bit too strong at the end (I hope!)

Thanks Heaps Westies
 

My sincere thanks PAT (fromPERTH) and Roman (@oz) :) :)

Thanks to you GENTS what was a losing day has turned out a WINNER! :D

Took mine (RAFFERTY RULES) with your selections (boxed) - the tri and first 4 !!!

May the sun continue to set in the west ;)

Penultimate at Pinjarra Thursday CHINA CITY!
Don’t say you weren’t told ;)

Gee! thanks people :D

grey matter wrap-up
 

No joy yesterday.

grey matter
 

Expedition and Morag (1st), Blind Decision (2nd), Zanegrey (3rd), Diamond Grey and Snowy Mountain (4th), Glen Erin Rose (5th) and Dashing Belle (7th) make up the grey brigade at Pinjarra today.

Good question. Didn't hear why myself but noticed she's nominated for a race this Sat at Ascot.

spot on WayOutWest and only just got beat (neck) also had Happy Dis in the 5th it got beat a nose :rolleyes:

offline yesterday...still hungover from Tuesday :cool:

And nice tipping PATfromPERTH!
Watched that race, a great 3-way finish! Precious Resource almost! There was a few of them yesterday. Thought the run of the meet was Run Benny Run in the 5th. Very good win.

Listed Races Ascot Sat
 

Some interesting clashes especially the The Fairetha.

The Pontiff
 

Most surprised the pontiff has only a small book of rides at Pinjarra today.

Riding Aunt Dorothy in race 1 - first-up for about 6 months, just the 2 runs, the last run at Belmont a reasonable effort.

Nothing in race 2 or 3. Rides the unraced Diamond Grey in race 4, did OK recent trial.

Nothing in race 5 or 6. In race 7 he's on Border Control, running out of his class but 2 starts since a spell have been good. And in race 8 his mount Metalikali been scratched.

Guess he'll have plenty of energy remaining for Ascot Saturday!

Might need to get a new booking agent :D

Expunge
 

Have it on good authority that yesterdays Kyneton Cup winner Expunge will be heading west for the Perth Cup. Might also have a run in the Fruit 'N' Veg but the main aim will be the cup.

Next start over here will be the Ballarat Cup.

................and WILL win......... :D
