Hi, Costanza and Michaelv.

You're right - my error re Kruz, it is NOT a selection. Sorry.

Costanza, in your example re pre-post favourites, if the selection was $5.00 it would not be shown as a selection as it was the fourth fav. And if it happens to be the equal-third fave, it would not be selected in the system. The selection must be in the top three outright.

Yesterday's place divvies have been pathetic. The total divvy in NSW for the place was $7.10, yet in Qld it was $7.70, and $7.80 in Vic. Percentagewise, it's quite a dramatic difference. The NSW divvies are calculated using a "daylight robbery" or even a "Ned Kellyesque" method. I am keeping a record of the divvies from all three TABs.

If anyone is interested, I've looked at today's NSWTAB ratings. Using the exact same rules (except there must be a minimum of 4 points), today's selections are:

Ipswich 7/1 Memphis Express (5 pts)
Randwick 6/4 Plains (4 points)
Albany 3/2 P. Witch (5 pts)
Albany 6/1 Ohio (5 points)
C'bourne 5/5 Costaletta (6 pts)
C'bourne 8/1 Marbine (6 pts)
C'bourne 9/2 Allegro S. (4 pts)

Cranbourne 5/5 and Randwick 6/4 have already been run - and they have both won.

I have edited Kruz from the original posting as it is not a genuine selection and there is still over an hour prior to the race. I have also edited Ipswich 6/2 from the NSWTAB selections as it is first-up from a spell.
