In the absence of Gelding I see Dalligan is having a throw at the stumps in Sydney. Of his selections STREAMA should run 1st or 2nd and give the ladies at the tennis club good value for their buck. Meanwhile SOMEDAY is as good a chance of winning as me taking out the next Mr Universe title! The mail in Sydney today is not overly strong but it won’t stop Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere having a go.

Race 3 n3 NO LOOKING BACK The mail gives this an enormous chance of beating the hot fav. It will be leading while the fav has to give up 5kg and a decent start.

Race 5 n3 VILANOVA I’m told this neddy has improved out of sight since running without luck in the Bris carnival. This is not a hard race to win.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
