A perfect spring day in Sydney today and all the Sydney Colt groupies know how much I love a dry track. It does look a day of favs which should have alarm bells ringing for punt drunks. The secret is to allow the pro punters, trackmen and ratings expert do the hard yards for us. Out tips today come from weeding through their best advice.

Race 3 n3 STRIKE THE STARS Very well placed coming back from WFA. The increase in distance is a definite plus. Has been wowing them on the track.

Race 4 n1 TRUSTING Never been one of my fav horses but it looks to sit on the pace here and will have the best sprint to finish off the race. Best in race on ratings and has been working great.

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