Rough tips and other bets...

Huge day at Randwick today with day 1 of the campionships. 4 group one races including the Doncaster Mile. It's wet and the track rated a heavy 9 so quite well suited to our Ginger Nuts for the the Aus derby.
Also hoping Russian Revolution can get up in the TJ smith stakes and Le Romain in the Doncaster
Have done a full card of form so that should be more for the arvo
Should be a real good meet

That ride was so un Opie like. He alwasy lets everyone swing wide and follows rather than panicking and swinging wide with the field. Just had too much to do.
We may have three running at Counties on Sunday. Naples - Should go well and is getting talked about a bit so will likely be short. Solomon - Always fights and is always wrth a dabble. May need this race though for fitness. Park Lane -All the talent with no brains. (We call him flea brain at home) Coming first or last would be no surprise.

Sorry mate. Been so busy no time for Fern.
Tattybogler had her first start (Her sire is full brother to Black Caviar.)
She ran a fantastic race 3-5 wide the whole run, second last on turn and rattled home for third.
Meeting was called off after that radce so Solomon didn't get to have a run

@JK also Park Lane at Tauranga tomorrow. fluffybunny of a horse. Beautifully bred and talented as fuck but head of a fucking flea. Weak as piss in the head.
Thing is he will win at some stage but no idea when. $1 each way for fun and be prepared to lose it. But a 'just in case he finally gets it right' bet

No tips for many a long day....
Spring carnival is heating up, Caulfield Cup three weeks from now.
NZ horses leading the charge at the moment for Caulfield Cup especially are
Bonneval
Gingernuts
Jon SnowBonnval super impressive winning last start fresh over a short distance
Gingernuts won at Hastings
Jon Snow very strong win at Moonee Valley last night, tough run early and did it easy in the short straightLove Bonneval at the moment, running against Hartnell in the Underwood on Sunday, think she can win the Caulfield Cup, maybe the Japanese runner Admire Deus is best value at the moment, Bonneval very short for CC @ 6.5
Alamandin last year's Melbourne Cup winner short price in CCup due to conditions, no rehandicap for MC if it wins CC.

Alamandin $5 favourite for the Melbourne Cup, way too short IMO. Look elsewhere, not sure where though.

Have a few long range multis on that I set up a couple of months back.
Everest - She Will Reign
Caulfied Cup - Gingernuts / Egg Tart / Bonneval
Cox Plate - WinxEgg Tart not looking great at the moment so not too confident in that one but the other two look a good shot. Both pay around $200 to $1
The Everest only 12 days away now. She Will Reign had drifted there on the All In Odds but now back to fav after fridays MV win. I think Deploy is a big danger. That horse is a beast and very impressive of late.

Would be good to get this thread cranking as we head in to the summer carnival and share any hot tips or inside oil we come across. @Hooroo always has ear to the ground on the local stuff. I'm sure there are a few others too.
I probably have a wee punt most days, mainly on Aus races and saturdays I will have a good look at what is going on over there and try hit two or 3 of the meets. Usually Randwick or Rosehill and Caulfield or Flem plus maybe Mophetville or Doombden if there are runners there I like. Not usually a whole lot of focus for me on NZ as our tracks aren't so great (vs NZ) but hey winners are winners and some of our horses are bloody good.

Having said that re NZ tracks.....decent meet coming this saturday at Hastings.
Picking gingernuts to go back to back in the group 1s and win the livamol classic. Not seen any odds but expecting around $3 so not a lot of value.
Opie is also riding gingernuts brother Griffin in another race there. Tough race though with the likes of Bostonian involved.
Also at this meeting in race 7 is a prick of horse that has burnt me every time so far. Secret Squirrel. Has some wheels but never quite wins with a record of 2nd, 2nd, 2nd and 3rd from its 4 starts. Pretty sure its been fav (or very close to it) every time!
Another call out for @hooroo as Galaxy Miss is running in race 9........
