Good morning Gay3, jimbob04 and all.    Good luck everyone!

Needless to say I’m pumped for today - with a bit of luck....

This is me today:

Randwick

R2 Isaurian $2.8 ***BEST BET*** - brilliant behind the in form I Am Excited last start, and that was on the back of a huge win prior. Well placed here and should be winning.

R3 Cristobal $26 & Fiesta $6.5 - tough race. Cristobal my main cheer at big odds. Thought she was great last start behind Sunlight and can peak here. Fiesta was the run of the Slipper. Full stop.

R5 Viridine $31/$7.75 from I Am Excited $26 & Booker $26 - massive result potentially here to say the least. Viridine has been awesome in open company this prep and back to his own age and set weights here is perfect. IAE has been unbeatable. Only question if she’s still at peak here? Booker back from open company as well. After-thought? Save on Pariah $9. I’d appreciate your prayers to the Overs God.

R6 Unforgotten $6 & Hiyaam $9 - very keen on these two. They’ll be closer in the run today I feel and with the extra 400m Unforgotten will test Hiyaam late. The Oaks is often an on pace affair so Hiyaam will look the winner. Luvaluva and Savvy Coup both chances.

R7 Humidor place $2.42 - Humidor needs only to produce something like his Cox Plate run to be clear 2nd pick here. Happy Clapper in career best but noticeably comes back to them over 2000m.

R8 Almandin $6 from Pre Stwick $17 & Auvray $13 - Almandin wasn’t good to me last prep but he looks to have returned to his best this time with a great G1 WFA win last start. Well weighted here but even so you don’t want much more in a Sydney Cup. The Japanese stayers are superior and Pre Stwick has good form. Auvray suited back to handicap and up to 2 miles.

R9 Dixie Blossoms $17 from Spanish Reef $17 & Silent Sedition $8 - by this time of day the headwind will be howling and you might want to be back with cover. Dixie better back to Randwick and has had no luck of late. Spanish Reef will be on speed and is flying, while Silent Sedition is in peak condition.

R10 Quilista $6 & Spright $16/$4.7 from Sugar Bella $6.5 - Quilista and Spright we’re both massive first up doing the job for us and I’ve stuck with them both. Gives us an on speed and off speed angle. Spright is crazy odds.

Caulfield

R7 William Thomas $4.8/$2 - we made a killing off him first up and see no reason to get off here. He should appreciate the step to 1200m and meets an average field. Price is fine - great each way bet.

Morphettville

R3 Music Bay $2.7 - impressive win on debut. Right trainer/jock combo for Adelaide!

R7 Leicester - short here but looks the one. Was unsuited last start when back off a slow speed. The winner is promising and won again at its next start. With some even luck in running Leicester should stamp himself as a promising type himself here.

Good luck and good punting.

No djebel!

Basically with Sunline in most races with the following exceptions.

Race 1 Vega One.
Race 3 add Pure Elation
Race 7 Ambitious the place
Race 8 adding Peribsen for the pace and Ormito the roughie

Good luck everyone and lots of success!

Great fields today but l'll be focusing on a couple of obscure ones...

Gold Coast race 7 - I Remember You. Happy to play at the $9 fixed. Looks overs to me. Ran an enormous race the last time at this track. I love to follow up on horses who have previously ran good races at the track in question. It's one of the things l look for and this horse fits that criteria for me today.

Ararat race 6 - Super Mover. This horse is ticking over well. It's not a world beater but it'll give a sight. 4th run of the prep. Should be at it's peak today. Solid each way play. A couple of the opposition have question marks at the trip.

If they're running on at Caulfield today, l'll be interested in I Boogi later in the day. We all remember what it did the last time it was first up. But l feel it's chances today are heavily dependent on the way the track is playing. Could be worth a bet or could be a lay. We'll know by race time.

Enhanced odds $4.80 Ladbrokes for Pure Elation. Odds are too good to knock back but have been a fan of Crystobal and may look at a saver.

I'm currently leading the TAB tipping comp. That 100 grand is mine.

Gave it every possible from where it was. Wasn't good enough.

Absolutely pissing down here at Caulfield. Start looking for those wettys.

I don't think it ran out the 1400. Much better suited at 1200 at this stage of it's career.

Schofield on his horse was a nuisance to both leaders. How he ended up three deep from barrier 2 is anyone's guess. The only thing in his defense was the horse was pulling hard.

Well that's bad luck, good break , modern science, fingers crossed.

Isaurian the only one I've missed so far.

CAULFIELD NOW SOFT 6

Bowman you have to be joking slaughter of the century, I bet you will never pull a stunt like that on Winx pathetic
