Great chick too, has her head screwed on the right way and works very hard for her success, will become one of the best in Melbourne now.

I've heard different points of view on the first part but her talent is undisputed.

She's won the title for the past couple of years hey?

I've just noticed lately that she doesn't bring the favourites home as much as she used to, perhaps they are favourites because she is on them?

I always get on her when she's interstate.

Did anyone hear about Natasha Faithfull's fall?

Sounds like she's on the mend slightly but doesn't sound good at all.

Is she blaming the State Govt?

Probably just trying to get as far away from Calvin McEvoy as she can

Probably dried up a little since the split with McEvoy and the emergence of Racquel Clarke?

I was talking about her racing.

Quick look at the first few races at Strath:

R1) Think 8 Place Me Right and 10 Meadows Lassie are rightfully favourites but did not mind the run of 3 Malouf ($15) last start when beaten by a very smart one in Brybek recently. 4 Plympton also rattled home late in that race. I also like to see runners building up their distance so will be interested to see how they both go with an extra 200m. Stokes should have the 8 ready so picking it on top, 10 super consistent but back in distance, while 3 is a small EW hope for me, just over 4.

8, 10, 3, 4

R2) Really tough stayers race. Lots of good chances and 5 All Well for Grant Young presents some each way value at $7. Logan booted it home last time out here in a tough leader's performance and recent run at Hamilton suggests fitness won't be an issue, also dropping weight. 4 Dellacqua loves this track, so keep close.

5, 4, 6, 1

R3) Some first starters here with good trial times, including 3 Need The Yen and 5 Terbium, both short in the market. One at odds is 7 Electrum ($35). Led here last start before being overrun late by Strike In Style to go down 2.4L 5th. Back in distance 100m, shown to be competitive on debut with early speed, maybe it can hold on for a place.

5, 3, 8, 4

R4) Mentioned Malouf and Plympton earlier and another out of that race is 2 Heroes Quest ($26). Gets a better barrier, back marginally in distance, has to be a sneaky chance here, especially if either of the other two can frank their form in race 1. 8 Cover Girl was deadset unlucky last week, draws gate 1 but can mean it gets on the rail back in traffic. Lot of hype around 12 Small Scale after a good second on debut last week. Will be short enough with Kah on board. 9 Jack's Sister has found its distance here I think, while 8 Air Mail again draws a good barrier and will be a place chance at odds. 5 Ken's Thunder hits me with some intrigue, a first starter easily beaten in a 1000m trial by Need The Yen but out to 1350m here, perhaps it needs the run. Wary of the stable and jockey.

12, 9, 7, 8 and hail mary with 2 & 5 as value in exotics.

Only done half a job again!

Ha! Cobber’s Mate salutes for Carey in R1

Watched it run last week and it didn’t really raise a yelp after a good effort at Balaklava before that.

Peaking I didn’t keep the faith

2 bets today for 2 collects.

Thank you.

Couldn’t believe the $15’s I got for young Cobber and then stupid me only backed La La Lu for a place and it salutes got $2.45 the place so wasn’t all bad.

Back from town, LLL was always a good EW bet. Nice find.

Two on tops booted home but not a lot of love in the exotics this week for those playing at work.

Not that it matters but a blackbooker, Staghorn, got up in the last at $20. No I didn't back it.

Same thing happened to me the week before with Gougers on Jan 5.

Anyway, Penola today, probably won't have a bet considering the lean pickings yesterday. Unless my pay comes in a day early

Got pantsed Saturday, had a few roving trifecta's where I'd selected the fave as the rover only to find the 4 other horses I picked finished as the first 4 and then the fave not run a place, they were huge tri's too.

Basically every time I changed my betting pattern the result would reflect on what I had just changed from, I didn't have a successful Saturday the week before and lost my weekly quota on Saturday so I'll give it a miss this week.

I can't complain though, I had been using the same $100 since the start of December and have taken out over $500 in the meantime and still have some "personal money" sitting aside.

When you all up place 6 runners and the one you miss runs 4th.

Absolutely, you can still lose multiple times
