Bit Of A Yarn

Second Day @ Marlborough Picks.


Recommended Posts

 

 

R1......Bottom and top.....KOWHAI SUMMIT...looked good once balanced on the first day. Jones stable firing as is Samanatha Otlley ...a good beginning and could win. 
 
POPNROCK had trialed well prior to Nelson but bad manners have let the side down. Drawn well here. A safe getaway and it's game on.
 
 
 
R2.....MELODY ARDERN with Tim Williams and the premier draw should get a good run and win. 
 
ROCKSENT was very solid on Friday and no disgrace being beaten by Twista. 
 
 
 
R3.......ALTA SHOWGIRL is the best horse in the race and with JD driving in an average field, should win. 
 
 
 
R4.......SARASOTA SUNSET was strong at the finish. Could win if luck on her side. 
 
RAZORS EDGE got my attention on Friday. Not exactly sure where his fitness level is but was not knocked around. With a clear run can be in the finish.
 
 
 
R5......EYRE I WILL was only just nutted on day 1 by a horse with an easy run. Stable in form. Should lead and win.
 
 
 
R6.....MIDFREW LUCRE ran very nicely on the first day. Bob takes over. Should go very close.
 
 
R7.....SOVIET STAR capped off some solid Nelson runs to win on Friday. Can double up.
 
 
R8......no reason MUSCLE BANK can't double up.
 
ZSA ZOE looks a great place bet.
 
 
 
R9......JACCKA OPA drawn ice. Just getting warmed up on Friday. Can win.
 
 
 
R10.....MOSSDALE BEN is my bet of the meeting. The distance suits and he just wins. 
 
 
GET UP N DANCE is a superb animal and has gone great at the trials. 
 
DOUBLE TIME is the main danger to the above.
 
 
 
R11.....MILLWOOD INDIE could make it a double for the stable.
 
 
 
R12.....MM SUNSHINE was nice in victory on day 1 and can double up.
 
SON OF PATRICK was very solid on Friday and a genuine win chance here.

Miley Ace a good place bet from the draw I had a go on that.

Watch That Man better draw with driver change I had a go on that.

 

R9......JACCKA OPA drawn ice. Just getting warmed up on Friday. Can win.
Tokyo Rose looks the best in that race for me thought it might have been shorter than 3.80

 

R10.....MOSSDALE BEN is my bet of the meeting. The distance suits and he just wins. 
Dashing Major I like for a place in that and over the odds at $4.50

About $1000-1 either of those events occuring ??😋😅💰 hahaha

I've got this second day covered anyway. (using some of Walts local knowledge)

**Have abandoned the trotting races ( to avoid a galloper) 

**Have abandoned the ''Win market multi (everything keeps running 2nd at the wrong moment )

So have embraced the First Day Pacers who ALL ran 2nd !!  to place again. worth a tenner? 

So it's a SEVEN SPOT to run a place ''place Multi .''... = 💰💰💰  $120-1   Sportsbet. 

R2 FredAstair $2.65   R4 Judine $1.75   R6 Quicksmart $2.50   R7 Style Council $1.95

R9 Jaccka Opa $1.90     R10 Mossdale Ben $1.65      R11 Millwood Indie $1.70

yes it should be deidre franco.

 

I just put total of $60 on it and its price immediately dropped from $5 to 4.80 to 4.50 to 4.20. All in the one price move because thats how their algorythms work when i have a bet. Funny thing is every time i put an each way bet on these days,whether it be the day before or 2 hours before or whatever,there is 3 immediate price alterations in one go and i only place 2 bets(win and top 3).

Honestly,i think its a good chance but $4.20 is not a good price.

Good chance you will find yourself severely restricted if you come out of retirement in the future.

4 wins and a 3rd from 6 picks ok.

Bennie and the jets didn't go as well as i thought it might when running 3rd,while the one that missed,Watch that man would have won had it got a clear run.

So as per normal these days,there always seems one that misses and the multi misses.Bugga.

Absolutely no offence. I love the fact we are sharing our thoughts pre race. Long may that continue. 

We are likely going to get it wrong more often than not but hearing the thoughts of others encourages me to re-examine my own picks.

Perhaps we should have punting competitions on good meetings where you get 5 points for first, 3 points for second and 1 point for third. Double points if your win price is $10 or better and $3 or better for place.

I hope you stuck with sods law after tipping him out the first day, nice div for a 10 race winner, when rest of field mostly 1 to two wins. I back up on elbury street looked unlucky, Jimmy Arma finally got a win after plenty practice over the whole circuit, coast included

Should have punted your picks instead of my unlucky nags from first day, although I did back first one 👍

I did Shad...my biggest frustration today was missing the 8k trifecta with my first pick Saratoga Sunset winning and my other pick Razor's Edge running 3rd.

The run of Razor's Edge encouraged me to believe it was the right day to stay with the stable and follow my dosh with Sods Law.

Disappointed the circuit is at an end.

Watch that man would have won had it got a clear run.

Bookies would have been running for cover if that one had just run a place for my multis. Easy day on the punt and still can't believe they gave 3.50 for Tokyo Rose.

Glad you had had great time Walt . Mossdale ben beaten by the handicap in the Cup. but that's the whole idea of handicaps to give everyone a chance. your 2nd pick winning off the front ok for John Dunn . Double Time should Win a few more races by the look of things.

The Galah and NoworNever with some great tipping too. Forb's reading the market was writing off Muscle Bank , but he was dominant. could go on and be a Addington Winner .

My place picks from the first day were terrible and not even close. I'll have to study harder lol.

You know how it works Gammalite. One day picking winners is too easy. The next day you can't buy a winner.

My dad would always tell me you can't be nice looking and lucky......but it's a bastard when you're neither :)

Nice work, and reward for loyalty, wondered when the Geddes horse would appear on the circuit, haven't seen any new charges from their stable for a while, mind you I guess there hard to find, remember their Dixie commando handy mare, very good effort from Saratoga sunset and very good drive, from the man that drove gypsie winkle for her first two wins, always sad to see the end of the circuit, the coast has a couple of days in March, did you guys lose your winter meetings, if so long time between drinks, not the same when their not on your doorstep, for me I do prefer the thoroughbreds, but alway support the standardbred and do enjoy them.
