Finally cracked it for a winning day, albeit only just thanks to Tintern 20x 5.80/2.40 a return of 164.00 and a profit for the day of 44.00. The overall loss is 124.00 and a bank of 1076.00.

Tomorrow begins in Race 2and PLAYWRIGHT 10x10 is the selection, has run reasonably well 3rd run back and may run an improved race in this. ALL SILENT 20w in Race 5 has a 2nd to none chance. Phenomenal effort last start and a brilliant gutsy ride, same cobination, same result with a brilliant finish, smallish field and a good pace will see another salute.BLACK PIRANHA 10x10 in Race 6 is an excellent chance, now extremely fit and a solid miler. My best for the day is PRAVANNA 20x20 in Race 6 a remarkable run at the Valley to finish on top of the placegetters and the open spaces of Headquarters will ensure a big finish from this mare. Race 9 and BARWON EXPRESS 10x10 is the pea, nice run in Adelaide after impressive performance in Melbourne, a good get out bet,

BOL for the day

Scraped home last week. Playwright 3rd 10x4.80 and All Silent 1st 20x3.70 returning 122.00 a 2.00 profit. Overall loss is 122.00 and the bank hold 1078.00,

Racing today is a pot pourri. With an eye to the summer racing carnival in Perth i will have one go at Ascot. The 1st bet of the day will be in Race 5 at Sandown FALAISE 10x10, will run the 1300 right out, something the favourites may no be able to do. Has not been far away at any of his starts this campaign and will be running on strongly.In Race 8 be prepared for an improved effort from the Sydneysider BRYANNBO'S GIFT 10X10 another one one with plenty of duck eggs that has had excuses and has been thereabouts in stonger company. In Race 7 at Rosehill I like PURRPURRLENA 20x20, was close up at it's 1st run from a spell and will benefit greatly from the outing, will go very close. Back to the last at Sandown and I like DANE JULIA 10x10. another one who has been thereabouts without winning, well drawn and I expect it to go close. Race 6 at Ascot will close proceedings for me today and ELLIOTTO 10x10 at his 4th run back will be at his peak although this is possibly at the limit of his distance range.

BOL to all.

Much better result last week with 2 winners, Dane Julia 10x 10.70/3.60=143.00 and Elliotto 10x4.50/1.80=63.00, a return of 206.00 and a profit of 86.00 leaving an o/all loss of 36.00 and therefore a bank of 1164.00.

Today is an unusual punting day for me as I am staying away from Melb/Syd.
The 1st bet comes up in the 5th at Eagle Farm and HIKE 10x10 is my choice. Been in Qld for awhile now and this is its 3rd run back this prep. Although finishing 0/9 has not been far away in each run. FORBES 20x20 in Race 8 at the Gold Coast is my bet of the day, should have won last start instead of running 2nd at the GC. The Railway Race 6 Ascot will see LARGO LAD 10x10 carry the money, a great 1st up run at Flemington 3 weeks ago will see him strip fitter and is well suited here. In Race 7 I like NEW SPICE 10x10, 4th run back and the 2,200 shoud suit and will run well. In the last at Ascot I like the former Queenslander MAJORCA 10x10, well drawn and should get a nice run, can put in a finish on his day.

All those having a go today BOL
