Wyong
*Johan's Toy, *Sky Blitz, *Rostrum e/w
Sandown
*Steelworker, *Ranson Claim

I like the Balaklava Cup...with Micks runners you have Pride Of Archway who gets back but can run on strongly..,,and Kings Arch who should be prominent and give good sight..Civil has to be kept safe..and for the excotics OnaJeune, baraba Rd and radiant star all should be there somewhere...looks a real good trifecta 1st4 race if you go wide enough..
Brakenbury Bill with the blinkers and the good draw could surprise at odds..Toms Vision form around the Lady looks to strong..(poor old Lair) Gorilla Bisquit in this ordinary lot atleast has some good form good lst few runs..,,,queen Katherine has ability and has been backed strongly of late especially on course tells me its working well..
Brissie doesnt look easy early on...Alanas Song might be alittle short..Noble gaze with finally a good draw has a big show...Prang is in good form..last run when a mile back against the tempo was good,,the extra distance is a queery ..Special langfur might get the lead here and if the leaders are winning and with Stathi aboard could get the prize....Pager if ridden quietly could come over the top of them all..
fairly confident with my Wyong, Belmont and Sandown selections..
have to many selections ..limit 12 but scratchings and short prices usually cull a few..

Good Luck all..

Hope your right..having good and bad days,,,aslong as the good days are making up for the bad days alls good
been really looking for value of late,, can be hard going and its easy to lose patience..
Have a few there tomorrow that should be real good odds especially at balaclava...good thing about the longshots is you only need to get 1 over the line to be ahead..

Good luck tomorrow Luv2 ... have a horse down there somewhere with Eric Musgrove that'll be over the jumps hopefully soon....will let you know when he's starting..

Might have a go at it Luv2bet,

Good too know a few of you here have interests in a few horses. Racing gets too boring if you dont have more of an interest than punting. We have had a little bit of success of late with my old mans horses, actually we just retired one last week, Rumah Batik. She won six (2 in town) and her maiden at $96 a couple of years ago (what a day! - think we were the only ones on her!, in fact she always won at odds), she ran second a couple of weeks ago to Pipkin in town in her swansong. Only a smallish horse, you had to get her on her right day or else she was a b****! (and she needed the bull-ring as well Luv2 to be anywhere near her best!!). Good luck to her though, think she will have a great foal (she's visiting distant music) as she's so well conformed and correct.

And I think tommorrow another of my old mans horses, On Focus, should have her first foal to testa rossa (hence my liking to the testa's!) - will keep you's informed on how the little one goes if your interested. She was an exiting horse, won 4 stakes races at two before getting injured. She still holds the track record for 2yo at Cheltenham running I think 56.85 for 1000m.

But enough reminising! (they were the good old days!) lets look to balaclava tommorrow instead. Real storm here at the moment though, hope it doesnt persist or effect the track. Winds up to 100km/h can throw up some rough results!

Adelaide:

Brackenberry Bill: I think is close to a special with the long straight an lots of speed

Keytocache: owes me a stack but has heaps of ability, stiff comp
from...

Diceman: (could be the one - recently won a trial by 4 lengths so abviously fit first up) Obviously tiara dane rates very highly.

Adios Dapper - blackbooker

Toms Vision a special from 2,3,5,8,9

CUP:
On a Jeune: really like this horse, dont know where he will possie up though, a real risk.
Barraba Road should have every chance with Gatt/gate 1 so will be on him, Stamen to improve and flash home, and Royal Jade with Didham on board.

Brisbane:

Picabelle

Sandown:

Delvechio and Princess of oz qn ex (lots of pace though so beware - could set it up for Our guided missile)

Maggies Mate/ Ransons Claim qn ex etc

Test zone

Jestawinna

I don't think so.

HI Mav,
Dont know if you managed to see Flying Ed and Sabre run yesterday...Flying Ed ran out of puff very early and Sabre pulled its way out of the race... Drawn 1 yet ran wide without cover .. jock couldnt get the horse to settle. Probably best to forget both runs..esp Sabre's. If the connections didnt want Sabre to win, they sure got their wish..in spades

Pride Of Archway is a cat LOL..I'm just sore because I can never catch it..1600m is about as short a distance as I would ever back it these days. Maybe today is its day..esp if at good odds..i'll never back it when short ever again.

Good Luck Maverick..sorry about yesterday..I had a whole week like that last week. Got absolutley caned! LOL

These popped up in my horses to follow:

Adios Dapper - balaklava
Amboise - Wyong
Don't say don't - belmont -
Questionable - balaklava
Ziti - Wyong

I don't know what to do today. I am getting flogged of late. My only saving grace was shannon bank on saturday, which i decided to back at the very last minute. The one and only ever last minuter to come off for me lol.

Few more thoughts for today.
Balaklava.
**Tigara. should be fitter now couple runs in and hasnt been far away. Drawn well and should be running on at the post.
**Barabba road. Followed this horse for a while and has been close enough last couple of runs, has been running on well. As above should be fitter and ready to go. Good tri first 4 race i would expect big divvies. Include on a juene, civil, roman arch, radiant star, ottobello.
**COVET IN GOLD........ go you good thing!! Big go on this..
**Amber flow in the last. Bit of value here. Liked its last run a lot, although coming 5th was charging home and only finished 2 lengths behind proscenium arch who will run favourite today. The extra 50 meters and the long straight puts amber flow right in this, may be overlooked by many and result in nice e/w odds.

Wyong
**The merry widow. Should be suited by this distance, will break through soon for a win, like the walter/boss combo.
**Onion, probably wont have a bet on this unless odds permit but this will be very hard to beat.

good luck to all....

thanks w924...the runs sounded to bad to be true,,Flying Ed has had leg problems maybe they've come back,,Sabre just dissapeared ..money around for it aswell,,,will be wary next start..haven't seen the runs yet but have the copy...

Sad day for me so far..My dog of 13yos just died this arvo..had a stroke,.,weird ?? never knew dogs could have strokes,,real sad because it was 1/2 paralysed and couldnt walk or anything..heartbreaking to see...

Then i log on to see Toms Vision and Alanas Song have both lost...hopefully get a few winners today...need to pay the vet bill...and they know how to charge..
Confident in the Cup..go wide with the excotics..any of these could bob up in this race..
