I must point out that Forest Spy was actually an equal top pick and Virage De Fortune was an equal 3rd pick, but generally, we went pretty well. There were a few surprise omissions. Retail Therapy for example. I thought it was a great chance, but the others didn't agree with me, so it didn't make it into the top 3. Bella Chelle and Our Sweet Moss were a couple of others that we should probably have found. Chuck picked Our Sweet Moss on top but nobody else put it in the placings. Same thing happened with the first in Melbourne. I tipped Merlos on top, but nobody else had it in their top 3.

Always happens like that Sportz...i never gave Thats Better a hope in hell but he was our top pick...
I had Our Sweet Moss as my reserve..and Admiral Spy..i think a few of us did really well with our reserves lol.....
i think we did pretty good ..but i think overall our percentages wont be all that different to the experts over a period of time..most of them arent all that hopeless and we get the advantage of tipping later when weve got a better idea of track conditions..

I was so close to having Admiral Spy as my top pick actually Mav I just couldn't get into that race the form was all over the joint and to be honest if I had of been home when it ran I probably would have backed it e/w myself at those odds. In then end I made it my reserve it wouldn't have mattered for us anyway because it wuldn't have made it into our ratings anywaywould have made my picks look better though.

Hey you can promote Forest Spy and Virage De Fortune - I had Virage rated an even money chance on top, and Forest Spy rated a $3.00 chance on top, so that'd get them clear of their equals if I'd been smart enough to remember to tip

Can you tip on Friday night this week Duritz???
