This is racing’s best time of the year for a punt. God bless Spring, dry tracks and good horses. Last week, to the joy of punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies, the mail was spot on with both bets giving a combined profit of +$477 and a 2012 profit of +$1136.

Race 1 n10 WESTCHESTER $50 win (BOBs). Up in grade but well placed at the weights and improving.

Race 2 n4 PROISIR $150 win (BOBs). Every man and his dog knows about the sectionals this neddy ran when winning in a canter. I will dead set cry if our mate NORZITA beats us after we plunged last start only to see it butchered by the jockey.

Race 3 n8 PRINCE PEDRO $50 win (BOBs). Back sharply in distance will allow this neddy to settle and finish the race off at a nice price.

Race 6 n10 GLENCADAM GOLD $50 win (BOBs). Gai is aiming this neddy at the Melbourne Cup. Would want to be winning this before they waste nomination fees!

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