It is fun isnt it!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOO Close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thought i had it 1/2 way down the straight...still i'll take the place divie..
my play bets did a million times better than my serious bets today..dont figure
i think i'll take the money and run..buy a slab and some fishn chips.. or else i'll let it ride on the trots or something..

Tuesday
Sydney
*Dabke Dancer..good last few runs..small field helps..wont be as far back..can run the distance where a few of the fancies are queries..
*No Name For a Lady...never been afraid of maidens..this one has been trialing well and i like the way she fought on last start where she was wide..
*Evilina...gets the tempo to suit here..forget last start when fancied.thought Solmere could run a cheeky race here awell.. value ?
might look at Primus in the last ..depends on the price..
Rocky
*Kenya Keepasecret..no reason why he cant do it for us again..the extra distance shouldnt be a prob and is racing well..
*Stipend..got these covered .. might be to short to consider though .
*Mydam Twist..form around stipend is strong for this...claim helps..
*Regimental...forget last start..tempo against..so consistent ,,the toppy has a stack of weight but will still be hard to beat..
Swanny
*Old Harryallards lane e/w.....big field with a fast tempo..harry could run over them at the end.. love to hear Mr Eds take on his chances ..he owes us both a bit of cash..

Have a few tomorrow,,,Confident about Rocky but i think some of them will be to short but theres always exactas ,trebles ect that might spice up the collects....

He's a prick of a thing isn't he, looks thrown in at the weights and with speed likely he will be charging home again and has a chance, can't have a decent crack at him ever again however. Aggro was a really nice run last start, he did a lot of work but ground away well to be clearly beaten by Kelcher who had all the favours and just in weight here, Aggro will get the lovely sit from 4. Tanna Hero won as she pleased last start and the second placed horse (more beer) won in Adelaide last Saturday, that was a very leader bias track so be wary. No Spice found plenty to beat some decent plodders last start and must also be given a chance. Too hard for me, but if my left **************** was in danger i'd have to say Aggro e/w.

Flu Blu is one i'll be on tommorow despite drawing worse then badly. He is lightly raced but all three of his starts have been full of merit. Last time he travelled well in transit and came very wide and went for home around the bend, it's only a short straight at Murtoa and he looked beaten, when Wit kicked again but alas Flu responded and just failed. He has led before and also taken a sit, but he looks like a horse who needs plenty of galloping room, looks to have a decent sprint so with a good speed on he can get back and reel them in (hopefully). There's a few horses in the race that might have form in better races, such as Shifting Sands who is likely to start very short, but they have had plenty of chances too, this fellow is on the improve and looks tough to hold out. He shouldn't be hard to spot, just look for the big grey jumping from the main street.

How about this one:

SWAN HILL 10-10 SWAN HILL

All kidding aside, it's actually got some chance. Perhaps you could play around with numbers 3, 4, 6, 7 & 10.

On to the more serious tips:

CANT R2 - 3 NO NAME FOR A LADY & 1 SHARNA MYST (3,1,4,5 - 7,8)
CANT R3 - 7 PROSPERING & 1 INVOLVE (7,1,6,5 - 10,9)
CANT R4 - 1 PFENNIG & 4 GOLDTOWN (1,4,3,5)
CANT R5 - 1 KELTIC FLASH, 7 Draw The Line (1,7,6,2 - 10,5)
CANT R6 - 2 PERMISSIVE, 7 Evelina (2,7,10,8 - 5,6)
CANT R7 - 5 LONGHORN & 2 PRIMUS (5,2,4,3 - 8,9)
SW.H R6 - 4 KING HUT & 8 Z'AFFAIRE (4,8,1,2 - 3,9)

Agree with most of Mav's tips for Rocky.

ROCK R4 - 4 KENYA KEEPA SECRET & 5 TIPSY MCSTAGGER (4,5,9,11 - 1,7)
ROCK R5 - 1 MYDAM TWIST, 5 Bay Of Plenty (1,5,2,4 - 7,8)
ROCK R6 - 2 LEVERAGE, 5 Aprimadonna (2,5,3,1 - 7,8)
ROCK R7 - 4 OUR JIM BEAU, 3 Native Knight (4,3,5,2 - 1,8)
ROCK R8 - 4 REGIMENTAL, 3 Quartpot (4,3,2,1 - 5,7)

Won't be betting in all of those races. I'll look for a bit of value. Some of those I've tipped might be too short.

I see Stipend got beat ...i thought that was a gimme..to short for me but goes to show theres no such thing..
Dabke Dancer was a good price ..just not good enough...

hopefully things improve.

He was wide most of the way, Mav.

Noreil was another short priced fav that went down in the first in Sydney. No value at all.

i thought Noriel was soft ...didnt factor in Flying formality ..better off backing all of them except Noriel ...oh well hindsight's a wonderful thing..

Gday All

I thought Noriel was a pretty good thing to win the race.. but not at tomato sauce odds... had the winner rated highly but left the race alone.. Only because Noriel was one of my trainer's horses and does'nt owe me any money.. there are a couple of more trainers horses running today. we might find a winner,
