Wyong R8 today is an interesting one.

You certainly chose a tough one Sunline.    The day The Drake gave Montrachet ( slow to begin )the 3k and won , Drake was greatly advantaged by barrier and a slow early sectional. Today he's out in 8.
Montrachet then benefited by the same circumstances for his win.
With a shuffle of barriers this time , it does change things and if pace on early, Artemis Rose should get a nice trail from 1 alley and can run time.
Siam won over this course and distance, first up last time, to add to a real puzzle.
I wish you well , in what might be a "dutch book" for us desperates.

Found a few winners yesterday so looking to continue on now I've found some form.

Back from spell this prep for two 2nds, but they were close up behind Island Daze and Moana Jewel who have both been very impressive at their next starts. Happy to be on at 2.8. 5- Wired - got the 5.5 on opening which is well and truly gone. Couldn't match it with Royal Symphony, but was thereabouts with Prevailing Winds, Wanted Diva and Je Suis Tycoon in different races... That's better quality than these. Pakenham 3 - Walhalla @ 3.5... showed a bit in 1st prep, some of that form is handy enough for this. 5 - Alsvin - concede the favourite looks hard to beat, however the 8s here is a nice each way place after a strong first up run and some nice form lines from its only other prep. 5- Kapset @ 18's each way. Looks a big price for one that goes well first up, at the distance and at the track. Maher going well since returning too. 8 - Onemoreemotion @ 21's each way. Baster's hanging around to ride it, good enough form for an up and comer to spec at the pric Good luck all [DIV

There's been a long odds move at Werribee in race 2. Anacreon for Jamie Edwards. 50's this morning. Now into $15 fixed and $8 on the tote. Someone knows something because it's form is absolutely dreadful. On it's form alone you wouldn't back it in a field of two in a Hanging Rock maiden. But money talks in this game. Blinkers first time. Someone out there thinks it's going to improve immensely today.

The betting late will tell the story. If it drifts back to 50's then it won't do anything and we can safely say it's mug money. But if it stays firm at 15's expect it to run very well.

Big plunge on this horse. 30length beaten and 20 lengths at his past couple

You could tell the blinkers really switched on that Edwards horse. Must have worked well in them at home.

They smashed that winner. It was a big go late. They were betting $7.50 about 15 minutes ago.

Wes Hunter's horse was an eye catcher from the back. Up in trip next start in a moderate maiden it will go close.

Pretty keen on Zarpoya in race 4 at Werribee. Had some excuses last start. It's simply better than the opposition. Should be winning.

Flying Batya shouldn't have ran. Have a look at the sweat pouring off it. I'd be filthy if l backed it.

Well done MJB!

Why was Wyong called off? I was looking forward to that last race.
