Because the Place method is doing so well I decided to apply the D.S. market and Unitab to another method.

It has done surprisingly well over the past three days but then I thought the D.S. ratings could have changed after the race.

So I've identified today's selections to see if the results are near as impressive. I'm backing them each-way, even though there have been some outstanding quinellas.

The method/selection process is:

1) Single prices in D.S. ratings,
2) 96-plus points in Unitab ratings.

Today's selections are:

Swan Hill
1/2
2/1, 2
4/1, 7
5/2, 7
6/6, 8
7,2, 3, 4, 5
8/6

Wellington
2/4, 11
3/3
4/2, 5, 6
5/5, 11
6/4
7/12

Cessnock
1/3, 4
2/1, 2, 3
6/14
7/5, 6, 10

The first two races at Swan Hill have already been run. There's been three selections for one winner of $3.30 and all three have placed for a return of $4.00. The quinella in race 2 ($1.00 outlay) was snared for a return of $7.

I've just returned from a specialist who sent me for a brain scan...no, not to see if I've got a brain, but because I've got very mild vertigo. It's not serious but after two and a half years I've decided to do something about it. I go back to see him next week.
