The Magic One takes Buckeroo to 114/109 in a big G1 win.

We were behind the 8 Ball from the get when Quantum Cat was most disappointing on face value, we predicted 95 from him and got 92/94. so not as bad as looked.  I noted in my comment that the winner Whiskey on The Hill  was coming off a career best XR 90 at 1800m and would need to go up another peg to win here and boy did he rating 98/99 relishing the 2000m. His win bought cheers from those who laid  Flamin Romans who in retrospect i under rated. He did have XR 98 2 back in that handy Lincoln Rocks Lauding form line it was that SR 59 in SA last start that caused my doubt and again i break my own rules about laying horses with less than 10 starts. 96/96 is a nice new line for him. 3rd placed was 6yo Corona Lad who was a 99 horse back in 2022 and showed a glimmer last start with ...

- Star Mare Sunshine In Paris rates 106/107 going back to back in the G2 Sheraco

Rosehill  - Run To The Rose Day


I had no interested in the first, the $11 rated winner Silentstar I noted as a Money Mover Saturday morning. He was $13.50 into $8.50  before winning. 90/80 was hardly inspiring late.

R2 saw Intervarsity most disappointing dropping down from Listed class but there you have another Fav beaten by up in W&D syndrome but gee 73/64 was poor. The Money Movers found the winner again with Awaygoesthebunny $16 to $8.50. It was hard to find, won at Mudgee at previous but thats so remote its not on the 90 tracks i do speed ratings for. Only previous run in town was XR 71. Didn't see a dominant 89/90 coming . As I say horses at some point in their first 10 starts have a 10 point ...

Import Point King Into the Melbourne  Cup off 108/115 in the Archer

As per usual with Melbourne the weather forecast was not even vaguely accurate, if those BoM dudes were paid ti[sters they would quickly be out of a job, The rain came and persisted and we slid through the Grades finishing on a Heavy track.

We kicked off the day in superb fashion with the $6.90 rated Gold Miner Moby Dick winning the 1st at $12. he was triple confirmed SR 91 in debut campaign and 91/96 here says he has come on. Headwall having only 4th run in a year returned to best when 2nd with 89/94., he has 93/95 on resume just over a year ago, So there is a race for him soon. Fav Nadal was weak with 85/85.

HTF  - Headwall

R2 and nothing better than staying out and watching an unders horse win, I broke one of my rules in suggesting the Winner Dawn ...

Ka Ying Rising made it 6 from 8 with 107/113 on a big first day back

We hit the ground running with our $ 2.90 top pick Go Go Go  winning after coming  into $2.8 in the last few minutes, the key was my first Strategy of the season was a 1 x 3 play on the David Hayes trained Gold Miner Sunny Baby who ran the best closing splits in the race. He had found the podium in all 3 first up runs and ran 2nd at a tasty $6 the place. An 87 horse and we got XR 88. I had predicted 87 for this race and got 84/84,  The 3rd placed Joyful Prosperity with that XR 86 +7 i the only other runner I would take from this C5.  ZP picked up wher ehe left off. 

The 2nd was another C5 and I predicted 83 here  and we got 84/82 on the winner Same To You with top pick Sports Elite running 3rd. Runner Up Ho Ho Star was ...


HK Kick Off Sunday

Hong Kong Is Back

The new season beckons and we kick off this Sunday the 8th with an all turf meeting at Shatin where the hihlight is a C1, all in all we tread quite cautiously into new season with all runners resuming , it takes a few weeks for the flow to appear but thats not to say we dont find plenty of winners we just need be a little more patient.

Its only 5 weeks later we have the first G2 of the season so it does build quickly

As I have stated for some time the $7 Plandemic pricing is over and HK only will be $14 a week as of this season and at that is well worth every penny, mind you with Jason now doing NZ and HK back on deck you really are best tp spend $330 a 1/4 and get the Platinum subscription

The HK only package is 45 weeks and gives you full form expert comment, speed weight and sectional ratings for all runs, rated prices, speed maps, odds ...
