A plan I have been researching lately is when one of the leading trainers has only one starter at a meeting. Recent examples have been:
Clowns(Hawkes) won
15.4.03 Chief Jabula(Mayfield-Smith)1st $3.00w $1.50pl
16.4.03 Lord Of Lords(Mayfield-Smith) 2nd $1.60pl
16.4.03 Lilly O'Reilly(Waterhouse) 3rd $1.50pl
17.4.03 Wyong Race6 No6 Music Land(Hawkes)
I intend this plan for all venues so for Melbourne I recommend keeping a watch on the McEvoy, Freedman, Alderson(and any of the top five trainers). Adelaide:-McEvoy and any of the top five trainers. Similarly, Brisbane(top five trainers). NB monitor the Hawkes stable in all venues.
This plan is geared for mid-week and provincial meetings where the top stables take one of their lesser lights to an out of town track "for a kill." The logic is obvious-the top stables would not waste their time and incur the cost to take one runner to the track without an expectation of a collect.
Perhaps some of our readers can also monitor this approach and alert fellow forum members when a likely candidate is running. eg Wyong R6 No6 Music Land today.

Cheers.
