straight to the rails....

Steering away from the favoured trio in Civil (First try 1600m with topweight???), Benarrivo (2nd up, huge weight increase???),
Argegno (2nd up won't get 1600m!!!).

So looking for value in this race and going with INTERGAZE and tipping (11) Chancelot from (6) Small Spoils, (13) Tenacious Spirit and at huge odds (15) Brava Brava.

Cheers.

damn, ollie is flying, 3 in a row..pity i haven't backed him today!! hope that's it!!

Two more wins for Ollie comming up.

When are we going to learn that the yearly spring carnival is a Bookies Carnival that we all contibute to so generously.

Any race worth more than $50k and especially those with the word "Cup", "Plate" or "Stakes" in the name deserve a $2 interest bet only. Serious money should be directed ealsewhere.

All I have to do now is follow my own excellent advice.

Cheers.
