Hi All,

Like most of you I do the form and spend some considerable time analysing form for a Saturday, most of my free time Sunday to Wednesday is done analysing the results and Thursday to Saturday morning I do the form for the meeting..

This is a lot of hours and I enjoy the challenge, and before you start on me I do have a life (of sorts)..

Anyway one thing that continually amazes me is that sometimes there are some "Hot Sure Things" at the track that I somehow have missed completely..

At Randwick on Saturday, Mentality and Spark of Life were both backed heaviy on course buy some very astute punters.

No how is it so? I rated Mentality only 3/4 lth better than Mutawajid and added 2kg advantage for Darren Beadman and I rated Spark of Life only .3 length worse than Media and I declared the two races ones to stay out of because my assessments were to close to call..

Now my assessments are not entirely rubbish, as I have ample evidence to say I'm on the right track, but clearly I missed something because lots of people were on the money and were backing these two furiously...

The scary thing is that this is not the first time this has happened to me, so what is it that I'm missing???????

There's got to be something else that I just haven't grasped as yet... mind you my other top selections were Spirit of Tara (Won) , Westicaro (Duh), Pelimnium( 2nd), Murtajill (equal with Husson Lightning) , KaKaKaKatie (won), Caljou (ouch),Mentality (by a 1/2 lth or so), Media (Duh) and nothing in the last.

There has got to be another indicator I'm missing..

Kind Regards
