I agree Goldmember, value is paramount be the track conditions wet or dry.
I bet in three races only yesterday, all at MONEY Valley. for two collects.
In the Steeple race 3, I had the winner Corrupted 2nd rated @ $5, taking $5 @ best fluctuation. In race 4, I gave the winner Leroy The Boy some chance but was looking for a shade better odds, backing the favourite Aquiline, who while racing well, it finding it hard to win, while in race 6, I had my best collect with Korcula, who I rated on top as a 11/4 chance, taking $7.50 odds at better than best flucuation.
Think that some punters have a mindset against wet tracks, finding it hard to win which in many cases is a self fulfilling prophecy, therefore IMHO they've lost well before they even commence the battle.
