*Midweek Metro Meetings*

PURRPLEXED race 2

like HAMMER TIME at geelong, good win first up, should be able to go on with it here

Hi Bully

Looked v well .... but so did a couple of others

Wheresyabeen?

hittin some Hong Kong mattress all night long?

haha hey spoonie nuts

yeah something like that , freebies for the win :)

Freebies?

I don't bet in these distance races but gee Solemn's a great type, looks well too.

Maybe you should bet in these distance races TINS, good pick.

Nope. Doesn't matter how well they look, if they can't stay...they can't stay!  particularly the weaker races, there are

big question marks over whether or not they can stay or are really just too slow to compete in shorter races IMO

Same as wet tracks (I AVOID)Doesn't matter how well they look, if they can't handle it....they can't handle it.

1000m they can win three quarters fit... so no bet there either

Hope you're finding safety in numbers, not danger in numbers...in your trading exploits, Shiraz

Cheers

Thanks TINS, the last few months have been dreadful for me, but that's the way it goes, noone can win all the time.

Arvo lads, think the FRENCH horse CHATEAU MARGEUX wins the cup. They seem to win everything...

Big chance for ine.

2 for me in the Cup

LIH I really like Aerobatics  today in the 2nd last at Geelong, I know it's Aerobatics but I think its finally come good again, it was completely stopped in its tracks virtually the entire straight at caulfield last time and should have gone close, this is a massive drop in class and it should be hard to beat with a decent ride if it reproduces its last couple of runs.

Good luck Lets Elope, that's a particularly early tip

LE - I will say one thing against it.

KOONOOMOO beat it a fair way that day and SPOT ON MAGGIE was just as badly help up.

Both better in at the weights.

32.09 for the last 600m in a Geelong Cup as I said on the dunaden thread it  was always a worry the lack of pace. Positive ride by Boss on Gatewood won the race and as it has raced on the speed in the past and shown that it was capable of doing so. He will be better suited at Flemington but it's shaping up to be the best Melbourne Cup in years, if not ever.

Boss deserves a nice holiday from that.

Would have been a French quinella without the interference.

interesting protest. Does Umberto Pavarotti speak English?

Danehill no argument about the weights in that race but if Aerobatics is the horse I always thought it had the potential to be, it has to be able to beat these irregardless. Think it's clearly the class horse and that class should carry it a long way against these even though it is disadvantaged severely at the weights.

Danehill,

A "French Quinella" sounds like something you'd buy in a knock shop.

Good luck Let's. I think with the run it will get, the form it's in, that the fave is an absolute morale.

Good luck Lets Elope, that's a particularly early tip Happy

C'mon Joel. You've been around long enough to know what comes next.....
a) i COULDN'T GET THE PRICE SO DIDN'T BACK IT
B) It looked bad in the yard so I didn't back it
C) I laid off in the run because the jockey went back when he should've gone forward
or D) (in the unlikely event his dart throwing finds a winner)

LOOK AT ME ...I'M THE CHAMPION!

9 and 3 here...10 unsighted

Loaded up fave, saved HONEY FLOWER / SPOT ON MAGGIE

Nice tri Dane.

Cue the opera music for the hard luck story.

A,B or C Lets?

nice ride by kerrin 4 deep, the entire no cover and thens finds trouble in the straight, in saying that it was a bit disappointing it will keep for another day.

Was very disappointing Let's, but was never going to get in closer than 3 off on my map...so was about where I expected in the run.

Not going well enough IMO

BOOOOOOOOOM BBBOOOOOOM

Well done on the saver Dane.

he went for C

Thank goodness Snowden has stuck with Christian Reith in the next and not put Josh Parr on it. Was on Maluti earlier for a nice result and even though he appeared to give it every chance he jsut gets nothing out of them at the crunch and often for mine seems to ride them too over confidently.

Anyway, last race Geelong, layed NEW YORK, terrible gate for it, backed SABRES  / ZAAMORE

What did you make of zaamore first up run Dane? I 've no doubt it can improve significantly on that and will probably have something because I have an opinion of it and its a big drop in class but found it hard to get a line on the merits of its run the other day

Fave looks a TREAT

9 looks well?, greys tend to buckle me

wd Dane

change of undies?

He should have had the tri & everything

,

SOrry for late reply lads - went to pub to meet a mate and watch this.

TINS, race was never in doubt

Lets - ZAAMORE was ordianry first up, but it got out of its ground then pulled, did a bit again yesterday, but like last campaign it improved second up, watch out for it next start.

I respect the Smerdon stable, but I am taking them on here with SHAMAL WIND, layed it win and some place too.

I should no better. Improved a million miles since its trial.

Stable are simply too good.

MAGNILOQUENT is a wheelbarrow job in this race at Hawkesbury, very poor field and you would that Melbourne form would hold up against this lot

WD SC.

cheers, thought it would win easy on the bend

OURGAME / RIVERINA ROSE saved MYSTIC OBSESSION Ball.

Backed  Zellaro At hawks.Gl

Maltese Falcon, Maltese Goddess the obvious quinella at Maitland.

or maybe a reverse quinella judging from the prices

COLONEL LIGHT, resumed awesome from the lengthy layoff, mammoth price here imo

Go the goddess!

wd

ol doggie nuts hasnt fired a shot for a while

but think BENENDEN will smoke them here, keltara is racing well and looks the biggest threat

Wd Dawg

Dane and I are sick of carrying these blokes, bout time you shared the load
