A couple of placings last week limited the damage, Devoirs 10x3.80 and Think Money 10x2.80, a return of 66.00 and a loss of 54.00 on the day. Overall profit 15.00 and therefore a bank 1215.00.

Warm day for the Derby and great card too boot. The 1st bet will be 10x10 SIX O'CLOCK NEWS in R2, ran on well in the Geelong Cup to finish just behind the placings after being a long way back, unfortunately drawn wide and will get back. MORE THAN GREAT 20x20 is my choice in Race 4 and bet of the day,has good form around quality horses including the fav. In Race 5 I am sticking with RACING TO WIN 10x10, recent form is topsy turvey but if the real RTW turns up, he will go very close to taking it out.One from left field in the Derby Race 6, COMMONAGE CLOSE 10x10, at the moment a 50-1 pop,have had a little on it at each start since resuming and I am sticking, not a strong field and has been there abouts in lesser races. Race 9 and the get out stakes I am staying with SNIPER'S BULLET 10x10, form just soso but is capable of producing on his day and hopefully that day is today.

Until Cup day, enjoy and BOL
