I hope all had a Merry Xmas.

No damaged done lastweek. 1 winner and a second, Palacio de Cristal 10x6.30/2.50 and Largo Lad 10/3.90 returning 127.00 and a tiny profit of 7.00. The bank is now holding 1034.00 and an overall loss of 166.00.

WILDLY EXCITED 10x10 will kick things off for me in R7 Caulfield. Has good form around this class and could finish up a handy stayer, 3rd run back after 2 good runs and did finish less than 3 lengths behind them in the St Leger.PINATAS 20w in R7 at Randwick is getting out to something longer after finishing off strongly in recent runs and a decent barrier will allow him to be better postioned. ALVERTA 20w R7 Doomben looks one of the better bets of the day, showed good form over the carnival and should continue on its winning way.R8 Caulfield has VINEGAR HILL 10x10 starting and was scratched from Morphetville, unlucky last start and is showing good form this prep and is being ridden off the speed, will go close. R8 ASCOT has another good bet in PETE THE PROFILER 40w, what a run last start, rattled home for a long way back on the turn.Will win this.

The last saturday punt of the year and I wish all a healthy and prosperous 2010
