Happy birthday tomorrow to all those beautiful nags who filled our pockets with lobster purchasing cash over the past 12 months! A very wet track at Rosehill means it is a day for punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies.

Race 1 n2 AFRICAN PRINCE Will love the ‘heavy 10’ track and the pull in the weights

Race 2 n3 BACK ON TOP A pro punter convinced me to make this the ‘banker’ bet of the day. This neddy eats mud for breakfast and is very fit and in form.

Race 4 n1 MAGIC MODEL Pro punters in the know jumped all over the corporate bookies when early prices were released. I am told it has trialled outstandingly. At the time of writing this post the bookies are still betting a good e/w price (it will not stay that way!).

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