Rough tips and other bets...

Any good tips for tomorrow?
tossing up between CliffsofMoher, Magic Circle, Cross Counter and Ventura Storm as a bit of a roughy. Normally tend to stay away from the favourites for this race but Magic Circle and Cross Counter would be 2 of 3 in favouritism tomorrow I think.

Only found out the field today but I'm going 9/10/24 for my annual useless trifecta. Might also put some coin on Prince of Arran too.

@mariner4life yep scratched!
For MC - its farken lottery. As said previously ive got a few futures at good odds including the fav but at $61 (not $67 as i incorrectly posted a few weeks back). The other futures are:
Avilius at $27
CIiffs of moher at $29
Magic circle at $24
Muntahaha at $33Had a couple of others but not running. I just throw expiring bonus bets at stuff like this when I've got nothing i'm liking at the time.
So what have I added recently? Best solution.
Ive boxed the 6 for the tri with a $50 bonus bet. Gets me 42% (of potentially nothing).
Lots of chat re cross counter and marmelo over recent few days. I dont like Marmelos last run, was all over the shop. Cross counter looks a decent type. Never run more than 2400m but that means bugger all given neither had almandin or rekindling, the last two winners. It's probably the one that worries me most out of the small amount of horses I've left out. I will probably end up on this horse at some point today.
Really interested to see how this race unfolds. I dont think there is a huge amount of pace so most horses should see out the distance. If it runs that way then Avilius will be in the finish along with Best Solution.

@mariner4life yeah drew carpark so not worth the trip to Ellerslie

Just reminded myself never to run a work sweepstake again. I'm out by $20, people who have had FIVE days to enter are asking today if they can enter (despite the draw being done yesterday), and people continually asked if they could pick their horse. No, it's a fucking sweepstake, you twats.

What's Winx paying?

happy i jumped on One More Try last night when it was still at $11.
It's going to be even more of a crap shoot today with the fucking weather.

Bad news, sportsbet has crashed
Good news, Pohutakawa!!

I got a Trifecta on R4, was a small boxed % bet, so got my money back from today.
-
Nothing on the cup. Nothing.
-
Got some money on Prince of Arran but everything else went to nutha... didn't even know Counter Culture or whatever it's called was in the race until it hit the front.
Cliffs of Moher has been put down after breaking down a few hundred metres into the race.....
-
I got Cross Counter in the office sweep...but nothing else.
Shame I got busy and forgot to bet on her at TAB as I usually do with my office pick

Broke down right in front of the grandstands.
-
Fuck. Off.
-
I'm slightly up. But i bet everywhere, at nothing less than $10, because beer
-
Went to the TAB at my lunch break to smash Cross Counter, but left my card at home and only had $20 in my wallet. But $240 in the hand is better than most of my previous Melbourne Cup punts.
-
@mariner4life yea Im up slightly, I've started playing the numbers game a bit more than I used to, so picking up the odd win here and there to cover my bets but every even nower and thener I get one which puts me into the good.
But I'm still smalltime, still only bet small, no more than $5 per bet, I had to put a trigger on my account as I accidentally did a boxed first 4 home a week or so back, but forgot to % it and it cost me quite a few more dollars than I like to lose - wouldnt have been regretting it if the horse that came 6th had finished 4th...
