[Freak2]

Would be extremely suprised to see the favorite upset here!!

Macca - any chance of a Tipping comp for tomorrows racing considering we have 2 group 1's??

 

[Macca_]

Thought about... Probably just give it a miss hey. Only the 3 races.

And looking at the tips from the weekend looks like a lot of people away and/or getting back into it after the hols...

Been a bit of a test run I guess these opening weeks. Will just wrap it up on Saturday then start a new one...

On the other hand, I'm happy to tally it all if people want to throw their tips and and have the scores added...

Think that makes sense. :lol:

Righto, I'm not taking $1.65 even though she does look the winner. So I'm backing Beauty Watch. Was a long sustained run last start when second to the favourite. I thought it was the best run in the race away from the fav, so a little surprised she isn't second favourite in this. At $11, it's worth a punt to take on the fav.

Serenade Rose will obviously be hard to beat and maybe needs to find some trouble to get beat. Stablemate Empress Lily always honest and Flora Danica will run well too.

 

[juggalo_strit]

Serenade Rose is currently $1.10 on the tote.

Bloody ridiculous odds.
I'll be taking a first four with it standout to run 2nd

 

[Macca_]

She won easily again.

I did see her at $2 at one stage in the fixed odds. That was well overs.

 

[Nuffs]

anyone not going to give her filly of the year?

$1.40 finished on the tote. was going to put a $50 on but stopped myself for "wasting" money

 

[Macca_]

I ain't.

Filly of the year surely has to go to Plagiarize

 

[Nuffs]

:lol:

2 wins in group company compared to multiple group wins and placings including both oaks races

:lol:

and how good/bad is flora danica?!?! it keeps running into something better. its had about a hundred starts for a thousand places but no wins. the racebook summarised her well - "professional placegetter" :lol:

 

[Moffo]

Flora did well today, but Serenade is just so much better then anything

 

[Macca_]

It's no laughing matter nuffs.

Plagiarize MUST be given filly of the year. I say so.

:lol:
