The mail is very light this week. Those I have spoken to with professional insight are mainly staying out tomorrow. The track will be a winter wet slow or heavy. Just the one bet each way. Hence, it’s either a lobster dinner or a can of baked beans.

Race 1 n4 HOT FOX e/w This neddy has won its last 2 races, with both being on heavy tracks. It will sit up on the pace which will be an advantage early in the day. Hence, dive in early at the each way, collect and sit back with a beer or twenty. Don’t forget to invest with the corporate bookies not the TAB!

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

I’m looking forward to talking racing with the Professor on air at 12.30pm this Sunday afternoon. In the meantime let’s get some cash off the corporate bookies. Bet early with Luxbet or Centrebet and they will give you the best dividend of the 3 TABs or the best bookies fluctuations, whichever pays the most.

Race 1 n2 MIKIYAMA All I need say is Chris Waller and Damian Oliver team up here. Should control the race up on the pace.

Race 4 n3 CLASSICS I’m having 65% of my stake on this neddy and 35% on n 4 STORM KITE. Based on ratings one of these should be saluting.

Race 7 n2 WHISPEROSA If this neddy didn’t have barrier 15 it would be a good thing. Fortunately Mr Oliver is on board to steer a winning course.

Race 8 n2 RIVER OF SALVATION e/w A pro punter mate has found some reliable mail from inside the stable indicating this neddy could pay for Gai’s recent holiday. If it does not win, put it in your stable of horses to follow.

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

Last week we put all our eggs in one basket and bet e/w on the mail horse of the day. It was beaten a pimple but still provided a small profit as it paid better than evens a place. A couple of shorties today but it does look a good day for punt drunks. Remember, if you have any regard for money, BET WITH THE CORPORATE BOOKIES NOT THE TAB!!

Race 1 n6 REDHANDEDJILL Impressed the right people last start when it travelled wide and still won.

Race 2 n1 UNANIMOUSLY I am told it is very well placed with the claim.

Race 5 n7 RAIN AFFAIR Blind Freddy could find this one. It is very short odds. I wasn’t going to dive into the short odds until I asked a pro punter what he thought and he responded with “it will lead and it will win”!

Race 8 n3 FOXSTAR e/w I am told it comes in very well based on ratings. It is fitter for the last run and moves up in distance.

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

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.
