Harbour Views, R6 at Flemington looks like it meets @mariner4life criteria...

certainly does. 2.40 favourite though, that's a bit short to get me interested. I bet on the #2 there for his last start win at $26 (i love Sundays in the country)
#9 looks interesting at $26
-
@mariner4life that sounds like my kind of thinking...
No point winning $24 for a $10 bet, better off with a chance at $260 for a $10 bet

exactly!! and the more you bet, the more you win!
Nothing sucks more than being on a $2.40 favourite that gets tipped over. Nothing is better than being on the outsider that tips over a $2.40 favourite!

@mariner4life sadly the outsiders I usaully pick are like, well, like Dana's Prophecy

a lot are, but you get a couple in the day...
I very very rarely bet on anything paying less than $5. Which is why i haven't been as affected by the number of favourites getting tipped over this spring as some of the real punters have been
-
@mariner4life so are these tips you get or just you looking at the odds and form?
-
Sweet, I bet $10 to win & place on Savaheat, my pick of the kiwibreds in the first at Flemington and he stormed home, paid handsomely helping me recover everything I lost Tuesday.

odds, form, and a lot of hope.
Also helps if i am watching the coverage.
it sounds like skill, but i want to make it absolutely clear i don't really know what i am talking about and it's guesswork

stunned!! Here I have been following your every post waiting for your expertise...only to find out you are just a bit more experienced at guessing than me

I want to wager on the only Kiwi in Race 2, but she’s a first-time starter who’s dropped from 20/1 down to 7/1 (probably b/c the punters see the “(NZ)” next to her name). Too short for my blood, ‘tho I may be tempted to drop a $2 WP ticket on her... She was a $500K purchase at Karaka this year.

i can't even call it educated guesswork.
It does mean i do really shit on days when favourites clean up. like every day in Cairns recently
-
I put 2$ to win & place on the Kiwi, was 17/1 at post, just nipped at the wire. Looks like a good horse, comms are talking him up. BAAQYAH (NZ)
[Update] Oooh, good. $15.30 for the place, I’ll take that every time!
-
Only two kiwis (2,10) in the third, I gotta keep riding this tiger but can’t be tooooo foolish, so I’ll do a $1 exacta box.
(Hooroo alert: I just noticed at least nine of these Race 3 starters are listed as greys; is this an all-grey race??)
-
@Salacious-Crumb yes, it's the greys race. Not great quality
-
Platinum Angel is a fucking good horse

dammit, i was staying off the punt today, then i had a look, and Sir Simon ticked too many of my boxes.
So i am in.
