R3 Bunbury had the state's top 2 jockeys on the top 2 chances. The betting changed drastically in the last 10mins. P.Cribb's fluctuations...

2 Charlie Beau (J Whiting)....open $1.65, mid $1.55, post $2.0.....2nd
4 Kia Ora Miss (P Harvey)....open $3.2, mid $3.3, post $2.3......1st

On the flipside, in R2 Go Beserk was the only firmer about $4.4 -> $3.1, and after having a easy run behind the leader, did absolutely nothing in the straight.

Spirit of Callinup
 

At last, after doing my dough every time this prep...the Spirit came up trumps for me at juicy odds. Note for the blackbook.....this one seems to be a 1400m horse.

Did anyone see the ride? The winners had been coming down the middle of the track all day and Pike made a split second move to the inside at the last minute to nab the race.

I am also waiting for Seneca to show up again soon........

speed rating tip for Ascot sat
 

Sat 18 Mar 2006 R3#3 Storm On By. Two nice 103's his last two show this quality Metal Storm gelding can figure prominently. Chased home Graduate Boy last time but now up to the 1400m I think he run past that horse and win. Handbrake Turner gets on for today's race; lets hope he releases it in the straight! Danger is #2 who has similar figs.

Metallic Storm
 

Metallic Storm looked good in winning her trial heat at Belmont recently.
The winner of 5 of 6 starts including the Placid Ark Stakes she went to the line with plenty in reserve to clock the 2nd fastest of the day.

Calico Blue
 

..and a nice performance by Calico Blue at Geraldton recently, to win her trial easily. Undefeated only 3 starts, all at Geraldton.

good work purplepassion!
 

Bottler purplepassion! ;)

purplepassion
 

Yes, well done purplepassion! Beaten a nose race 3 otherwise another winner!

Thanks all
 

Thanks all :) and thanks to the pontiff who did most of the work ;)

One of my better days Saturday as I managed to get most of the multies with a reasonably small outlay, thanks to my 'next best' selections, which also included the 2 winners I missed with my top selections.

grey matter wrap-up
 

The greys at Pingrup did pretty well on Saturday with Awesome Grey (1st), Miss Pavlinovich (1st), Awesome Grey (2nd) :eek: yes it won R1 & then backed up again R3 to run 2nd!! and Moordiyap (4th).

Had no idea where Pingrup was so did a bit of a search and found the following:

“Pingrup is approximately 360km south east of Perth. Pingrup has their annual horse race day where locals and visitors have the occasional bet on the track and in the two-up tent. Other events held throughout the day include the Ute race, the bucking bull and dressing up a mallee root :rolleyes: Live entertainment and food and drink are also supplied. Why not come and join in with the locals.”

Why not indeed, sounds a hoot! ;)

Albany Wed
 

Going for the '3' saddlecloth as my EW best bets for tomorrow at Albany.
Race 2 MAGJARR solid effort last start after being trapped wide for a good part of the journey AND race 5 DAVE'S DILEMMA a lightly raced 5YO mare with above average ability.

grey matter wrap-up
 

The results Sunday at Pinjarra Park were Ascot Inn (4th), Dr Ascot (unpl), Young Milfred (unpl), Hot Time (2nd 20/1), Our Vain Kingdom (5th), Panarium (unpl), Man Of Note (5th), Kenanas (6th), Ayupluv (FTF), Squizz Master (unpl) and Lady Shiraz (scr).

Mr Binks
 

Could be a good day for the 3 saddlecloth tomorrow goodoil ;)
I fancy (3) Mr Binks in the 6th. Back to his right class after good performances C5 & C3 & didn’t have the best of luck both those races.
