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.

Top hat and tails day at Royal Randwick today. Hoping to enjoy lobster and champers in the members stand after collecting on a few of our mail horses.

Race 1 n5 CONROY’S GAP Lacks the experience of most however this neddy ran super sectionals in its trial.

Race 2 n3 DIVORCES My only worry is the barrier in a race that seems to lack true pace. Our ratings man tells me this is the best of the ratings today and we cannot ignore that great advice.

Race 7 n1 JIMMY CHOUX How are they going to beat this in the Derby? Well our pro punter friend says we should all load up on it. He says until now there has not been a Derby horse with a sprinting finish since Kingston Town. He believes JIMMY CHOUX will change that.

Race 8 n1 GRACEFUL ANNA Looms as great each way value if you ignore its last run when it pulled up poorly. I am told by a trackman that it has grown a leg since and it certainly has class on the opposition.

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

Still a little miffed after our e/w special and only bet ran 4th last week. Confidence remains high and some great bets are on offer ar Rosehill.

Race 1 n2 DO YOU THINK Would have had it among my numbers if it had made the Slipper field! This is way easier.

Race 2 n1 RETRIEVE Plenty of knockers for this fellow but it drops a ton in grade and seems the best bet of the day with one of the pro punters who feed us information.

Race 7 n2 SMART MISSILE What a win last start when he dropped SEPOY Has to be backed.

Race 8 n 12 BASE The trackman tells me this neddy looks a perfect picture. Its Melb form is first rate.

Race 9 n3 ATOMIC FORCE This one has improved heaps with the blinkers being added.

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

Have had a week in Melbourne where I enjoyed some lovely lobster and assorted seafood with the Professor. Many thanks for his hospitality. I hope to return the favour by supplying a money maker at Rosehill tomorrow. Have picked up some mail direct from Gai’s stable and we will be going one out this week.

Race 7 n9 LIGHT BRIGADE e/w ($8.0) I am told in no uncertain terms this is a serious racehorse on the way up. It’s last run was a ripper and Gai has it absolutely ready for tomorrow. At $8.0 I have unleashed e/w.

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

Yes, I’m back from 2 weeks of R&R and in need of a fill up. I’ve spent last night and this morning ringing around our regular helpers and I am confident of eating lobster tonight!

Race 4 n5 DORF COMMAND e/w. I have taken $7.0 this morning and may back up for a little more. There is a ton of pace in this race which will suit our bloke coming from the rear. 1 start for 1 win at this track and distance. Nice fresh horse also.

Race 5 n1 MORE STRAWBERRIES I suggest they rename this neddy More Lobsters, because that is what we will be ordering after it salutes. Far superior to these based on ratings.

Race 8 n9 KISS FROM A ROSE This won for us previously and I’m told it should control the pace again today. Could be another ‘Gai Day’.

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