Morning Kiwi!! I WAS on Spuruson and ,surprisingly, Unitab paid better (40.70) than the on-liners. That was a relatively easy one (race 4) as there were only 2 over 20-1. I bet #9 too but don't know what it did. The tougher races at Brisbane were the last two as there were quite a few possibilities. In the end I took 2 runners in R7 after eliminating Gordo (too short;looked like being aimed at longer next time) and Legally Bay (had two runs in Brisbane and now being DROPPED in both class and distance.....a sure sign of Hawkes losing confidence).
Race 8 was just too tough. There were 9 longshots over 20s including the winner and 2nd who both "plummeted" to about 16-1,which was FAR TOO SHORT,by the jump. Don't forget Kiwi that longshot winners are nothing unusual and should be bet if you "suspect" something. When Dane Ripper won the '97 Stradbroke at 40s after Cummings took her from Sydney, it might have been excusable to mumble "how could you expect a 3yo filly to get up at those odds??" but 5 months later when she won the Cox Plate (also at 40s) after another "trip"(to Melbourne that time)no-one had ANY excuse to not be in the queue COLLECTING. Afterwards in the Manikato and The Australian Cup everyone was on her and HAPPY to be taking 2-1!!! Go figure.
Anyway,Kiwi,keep looking at it and good luck next weekend on the TWO big days.
