I managed to sneak away with my reputation intact last time I had a roughies posting. It was a bit nervewracking, however, having runs of outs approaching three figures. Nevertheless, a win is a win and I'm taking it. I'm going to try and slow the capitulation and pick what I think are the best of the worst going around. Sometimes you come across undistinguished races with lots of undistinguished horses in which one is a very long price even though its form is on an undistinguished par with its opponents. That's the kind of horse I'm looking for.

EAGLE FARM
Race 1 no 8 All Our Way
Race 8 no 20 Logie

MORPHETTVILLE
R7 no 14 Moggaden

Moggaden went OK last week being photoed out of 3rd (paying $17 place). He's an underrated horse although I think he needs a rest now. Watch for him first up. His record over the short courses isn't bad. This was his first campaign as a stayer.

Will try these as a treble this week. All are at Morphettville Parks:
R2 no 8 Miss Newnham
R3 no 9 Sadayakko
R4 no 3 Amyjaye Power

All terrible runs last week. Let's see how these go.
RICCARTON
R7 no 12 Pinch
ADELAIDE
R3 no 10 Meadow Star
R4 no 8 Spirited Princess

You could make a case for each of these today. Let's face it, there are some people who still believe the earth is flat. Cash in your Harbour Bridge shares and get on these!

OAKBANK
R8 no 19 He's A Hound Dog
DOOMBEN
R2 no 10 Whitemore
R9 no 8 Drumshanbo

He's A Hound Dog scratched at the barrier last week.
Three you can either despise or cheer home today are:
MELBOURNE
Race 5 Offenbach (41/1 prepost)
Race 7 Cross The Start (51/1 prepost)
BRISBANE
Race 2 Tell 'Em It's Easy (61/1 prepost)
Nice treble would return $120, 000 for your dollar.

Missed the $120, 000 last time. Confident of making amends with my $7 today.

SYDNEY
Race 2 no 5 Kirinata
Race 9 no 5 Innings
Melbourne
Race 4 no 1 Beltrois
