Hard to concentrate this weekend. Our boy is running tomorrow. Should win. Wales are playing South Africa. Could win. Foreteller is running in Sydney over 30 yards or something similarly short. Almost certainly won't win. Will he?
It's been raining on and off all day in Sydney but apparently not in Rosehill. Well not yet.
I keep on meaning to unload trucks of cash onto the Duff's best bet of the week. Last week it was Indiscretions, widely available at $4.50 the day before. The week before it was Just the Tonic at $3.50. He's also tipped Altius as a good thing as well as countless others. We'll forgive him Neeson.
This week the great man has nodded towards three in Sydney, OfcourseIcan, Altius and Stratford. Altius is $3.50. the others easy to find at $7. An $8 treble or all up" as the odious TAB calls it delivers one thousand of your australian dollars. We're on...
To be honest with all the distractions, I've not done the form in real depth this week.
MARDEN is a definite blackbooker and $8.50 looked generous. It's gone now. Think the race with the headcase/coxplate winner HELMET in it could go to anything but the Munce horse and while I rate STARTREUSSE, $2 is very thin. Think PINWHEEL might make a Snowden double but not with any confidence.
Encouraged by the weight of opinion behind KINGS ROSE in melbourne, but trappy, trappy race. And if we're playing with their money after TOPPING's race, might look again at two old faves LADY LYNETTE and DANZYLUM. Neither owe us a dollar...
Fabulously ironic that our greatest threat is a Waller import...he's no Foreteller though. Now, must go and put that champagne on ice...
