Randwick

Race 1 – Small bet on Majestic Padrille at $12 – unplaced. Small bet didn’t pay off as it never really got going to finish midfield.

Race 2 – Medium bets on Test The World at $5.50 & Anatola and $7 – Anatola WIN and Test The World Second. Both shortened in the market and The ‘Cock got this one spot on picking the quinella.

Race 3 – Medium bet on Dothraki at $2.90 – Second. Another placing and was one that drifted before the jump and couldn’t quite get the job done as the market expected.

Race 4 – Good go at Holy Snow at $4.80 – Third. Firmed in the market early days before a drift just before the jump as the punters came for the eventual winner in Higher Ground.

Race 5 – Small bet on So Far Sokool at $4 – Unplaced. Firmed in the market and was the one punters wanted. Just couldn’t finish off and quicken when called upon to end up 4th.

Race 6 – No Bet Race

Race 7 – Good go at Trapeze Artist at $2.80 – WIN. Very solid in the market and again was the one everyone wanted eventually jumping at $2.30. Was tighter than expected but got the desired result.

Race 8 – Small bets on Almost Court at $15 and Vengue Masque at $26 – Unplaced.  Remained solid in the betting and ran a good race for 5th just couldn’t quite stick on when required but a great run.

Race 9 – Good go at Osborne Bulls at $2.60 – Second. Just a sickening beat to finish the day. Rattled home for second by a whisker and was the clear favoured runner in the market as it firmed to $2.30.

Caulfield

Race 6 – Cliffs Edge at $1.70 – Unplaced. Disappointing run fro Cliffs Edge. Was at the end of his prep and had nothing left. Jumped at $1.50. Few punters around licking their wounds with this one.

Race 7 – No Bet Race

Race 8 – No Bet Race

Race 9 – Small bet on Land of Plenty at $3.40 – third. Again was the one punters wanted as it shortened to $2.60 just couldn’t get the desired result.

Doomben

Race 6 – Small stake on Marble at $3.50 – Third. Drifted before the race indicating not many suitors but ran on well for third.

Race 7 – Small bets on Amanaat at $2.50 and Mr. Sneaky at $3.70 – Unplaced. Amanaat scratched and Mr. Sneaky easy in the market was a race to forget for The ‘Cock.

Race 8 – Small bet on Emphasis at $26 – Unplaced. Was rated highly before the race by many out there as it shortened to $9 before correcting and starting at $14. Didn’t quite have the class when it mattered.

Race 9 – Good go at Mr. Marbellouz at $2.25 – Second. Shortened to a $1.50 and was beaten by River Racer who had 6.5kg on him which was telling in the end.

Morphettville

Race 5 – Medium go at Despatch at $5.50 – WIN. Remained solid at $5.50 for the day and ran out the race very nicely to kick off the quaddie.

Race 6 – Medium go at Viddora at $2.50 – Second. Another placing for the day. First up was always the query and will be better for the run.

Race 7 – Small bet on Blue Morpho at $13 – Unplaced. The $13 collapsed in the market due to the favourite pulling out but it shortened beyond that as it was the one punters came for.

Race 8 – Conservative bet on Midnight Storm at $8 – Unplaced. Was certainly overs in the market at $8 and that was backed up by the $5 starting price. A good bet just didn’t get the win.

Ascot

Race 6 – Medium bet on Mizlecki at $3.60 – WIN. Was the one to beat and well over the odds at $3.60.

Race 7 – Small bet on Dark Musket at $6 – WIN. Came into $4.60 and ran the 3200m brilliantly. Was the one that got the most support in the market and did not disappoint.

Race 8 – Good go at Money Maher at $7 – Unplaced. Was certainly over the odds at $7 as it jumped at $4.40. Was a good bet and if they keep shortening like this you will be well in front.

Race 9 – Small bet on Run Liam Run at $4.40 and Sixpence Spent at $5 – Third and Unplaced. Both drifted in the market which dulled confidence pre-race.
