Back on the punt after a week off. Not much mail around and the confidence level is fair at best. Just the one e/w bet tomorrow at Rosehill.

Race 5 n2 STORM KITE e/w ($6.5). I am told by our Randwick spy this neddy is ready for a bottler first up performance. Happy to make this the day’s only bet on an each way basis.

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

Winter = another tough day at the office for punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies. Bet lightly.

Race 1 n1 STARTREUSSE Odds on but does look way superior to these. WILL WIN!!

Race 3 n4 MYALLA GOLD and n7 BARSINOLA. Will be having a little e/w on both at good odds

Race 4 n8 SQUAMOSA If this neddy is fit it will win for sure. It is easily the best horse in the race. I have received mixed reports from the track and a pro punter. I will be watching the fluctuations before I bet.

Race 5 n11 REVIEW PERCIVAL Unlike Squamosa there is no mixed reports on this neddy. It has been working a treat.

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

Do NOT bet on these unless you are a true and dedicated punt drunk. This week we are having an Aussie go by picking horses generally wide in the market and must be backed each way.

Rosehill

Race 3 n1 ARDECHE ($16.0)

Race 4 n7 DEVIL’S ARCADE ($7.5)

Prayers anyone?

Our pro punter helpers are splitting their respective attentions between Rosehill and Doomben. We will follow each of them. Best of the day is Miss Marx based ratings, info from the track and the nod of a pro punter who has already invested big time.

There is NO Sydney metro racing this Saturday and hence I will take the advice of a pro punter and keep away from punting on Scone races. I am going with our ratings man who is covering Bris races for a pro punter.

Everyone should glue themselves to the TV at 3.50pm tomorrow to watch the gallant HAY LIST once again take on the unbeaten champ BLACK CAVIAR. Don’t bet, just watch and enjoy.

DOOMBEN

Race 1 n3 PRIMED e/w ($12.0) – ratings

Race 2 n4 DEER VALLEY e/w ($6.0) – best of the ratings

Race 6 n3 CHATEAU FORT ($3.8) – ratings

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

Just awful last week. Should have taken the advice I posted last week and stayed away from betting at Hawkesbury. Anyway we lost our money but our confidence is high for a good return today. Have very good mail for a bolter at the Gold Coast. Valerie, a noted punt drunk, who is sunning herself at the Gold Coast, should cop the tip.

Canterbury

Race 2 n1 LEGSMAN ($3.3) Loves the track and distance. Should get a soft lead.

Race 3 n6 RAIN AFFAIR ($1.7)  Very skinny odds but I am told based on ratings this neddy has many lengths on the opposition today.

Gold Coast

Race 4 n11 COUNT YOUR FINGERS e/w ($21.0) Huge odds about this neddy who will be ridden by Damien Oliver. I am told you should throw the form guide out here as the rider butchered it last start and Oliver is a +++. Up in distance and should get a suck run. At $21 e/w get aboard.

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

1 winner paying $2.8 from the 2 races we bet on last week gave us a small profit for consecutive weeks. The races today are out of town at Hawkesbury and with the track very heavy it is purely a day for punt drunks. No mail whatsoever today from pro punters. They tell me to be smart for once in my life and not bet!

Race 5 n8 DEVIL’S ARCADE e/w ($5.2) Has won 3 from 3 first up! Has won 1 from 1 on heavy tracks! Has trialled brilliantly and is trained by Gai. What else could you want to know?

Race 6 n15 FORETELLER e/w ($6.0) Big run at Randwick and up in distance is a ++. The track will not worry this neddy.

Race 8 n11 CARMINE KING e/w ($8.5) On a dry track this neddy would have been an exceptional e/w bet. I am reliably told it has been burning up the track at Randwick.

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

Hope like me you had a small win last week with our first selection winning and paying $6.10 which covered all bets. The weather is a worry today so I am limiting our bets.

Race 1 n1 RED TRACER Without doubt the bet of the day. Seems every man and their dog have followed the pro punters in on this neddy. Best rated runner all day and is ok wet or dry. Ran great sectionals winning last start.

Race 2 n2 PRAECIDO e/w If the track was dry I am told Gai was keen on FAST CLIP. With the early showers PRAECIDO looks a fantastic e/w bet to nothing. A nice Derby run and the wet wont bother this neddy. I have taken the current Betchoice odds of $11.0 and will have a saver bet on FAST CLIP

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

It will be a very wet track at Royal Randwick today. We have been the victim of some poor riding this carnival but hopefully the punt drunk’s goddess will come to the rescue today.

Race 3 n4 STREAMA Has been the subject of some pre post big bets by a pro punter mate of mine. He says it was a cert on a dry track and he is gambling on it handling the wet.

Race 4 n9 BIG STORM I have strong mail to say this has improved heaps on the track and the wet is a plus.

Race 5 n8 GALIZANI Loves the wet and has a light weight. I’m on this neddy pre post as strong track support is expected.

Race 6 n7 FIBRILLATION E/W The 2 favs will be very hard to beat on many form lines but Fibrillation is a dead set duck. The more rain that falls the more I’ll put on this neddy each way.

I’ll have my fingers crossed for our fav ladies Gai Waterhouse and MORE JOYOUS in the Doncaster. It is hard to back her with the big weight in the wet but I will cheer loudly for her. Go girl!

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