I keep telling myself to give up on Perth, but I still go back and have a go there every now and then. And for some reason, the ratings just never seem to do that well there. So I think that's it for Perth. There were some races I left out in other states which would have been far better to include.
Of the other races:
Hast 9 - Found the winner with the top rated Princess Coup but it was odds on.
Doom 4 - Top rated Zero Rock won and I got the trifecta in order, but it hardly paid a thing.
Doom 6 - What a shocking race. I've got no idea what happened here, but the ratings were way off!
Rand 3 - Top rated Snow Alert flopped, but 3rd rated Montana Flyer won at a decent price and simply boxing the 5 runners above the line got the first 4 which paid fairly well. Or alternatively, you could have just taken the bold runners to win.
Rand 5 - Top rated Samantha Miss won as expected at a short price.
Rand 6 - 3rd rated Sousa won easily at a good value price and the first 4 was found in the top 6 ratings. Again, you could have just taken the bold runners to win.
Rand 7 - Poor result for the ratings. In hindsight, I should have at least had Newport rated somewhere.
Rand 8 - Only 3 bold rated runners and the 3rd of them Theseo won paying a nice dividend. The quinella was found in the top 6 ratings and it paid quite well.
Flem 4 - Light Vision was a good value winner. Top rated at $2.60, paid $4.50. Got the exacta as well with 2nd rated Baughurst.
Flem 5 - 4th rated Jabal Tarik won at an okay price, and boxing up the bold runners found the trifecta.
Flem 6 - Again, the 4th rated runner Bellini Rose won at a good price. And once again, simply boxing the top 6 or taking the 4 bold runners to win found the first 4. This one paid $6346 on Unitab!!! Not sure what it was in other states.
Flem 7 - 2nd rated Gallica won the race at a value price, and the first 4 was found by simply boxing the 4 bold runners. The ratings were 11-7-12-5 and the result was 7-5-12-11. The first 4 paid okay.
Flem 8 - Well, Weekend Hussler was a flop of course, but 3rd rated Littorio won the race at a value price. Zipping was rated 4th at just $14 but ended up starting around 5 times that and paid $12 for the place!
Flem 10 - Top rated Sea Battle won and the trifecta was found in the 4 bold runners. In the 6 rated races at Flemington, all of them were won by one of the runners in bold. On unitab, a dollar on each of them returned a profit of 63%.
Morp 4 - The 5th rated runner won this, and simply boxing up the 5 runners above the line found the trifecta. It paid reasonably well.
Morp 5 - Top rated Amyjaye Power won and the trifecta was found in the top 3, but that wasn't hard to do.
Morp 7 - A little disappointed in this as the winner started favourite, yet I only had it rated equal 5th. Still, boxing up the runners above the line found the trifecta again and it paid okay.
Morp 8 - Top rated By The Way won well and the quinella was found among the bold runners.
Overall, not a bad day.
