Menangle Selections- OPEN AT OWN RISK!

[Triple V]

By way of not letting last night's disgraceful peformance stand in the way of another tilt at the Windmill...

Race 1- Millwood Meg
Race 2- Motu Crusader
Race 3- Western Gold
Race 4- Jaccka Twain
Race 5- Lincoln Royal
Race 6- Excel Stride
Race 7- Eloquent Babe
Race 8- Hayden
Race 9- Waldenburg
Race 10- Bettor Be Red
Race 11- Red Samurai

C'mon all you old shaggers. Time to pony up your selections. Let's see your form!

Not having a bet of course. Very limited study.

Rc1No10 Buckeye Nation. Gets in with a claiming driver, won similar races recently.
Rc2No6 Motu Crusuder. Third up now, down in class. Should win.
Rc3No4 Western Gold. Debut for Luke McCarthy.
Rc4No3 Baileys Magic. Not the strongest M0 (some nice horses though) and has only run behind Karter Brown and Matai Zinga who are both pretty smart.
Rc5No2 Mr Feelgood. At his best just wins...but is he at his best?
Rc6No4 Keayang Cullen. A roughie, Excel Stride undoubtedly is a deserved favourite, but I really like this bloke.
Rc7No3 Bainfield Washington. In with a claim, drawn nicely should win.
Rc8No7 Magic Franco finished close up at Bathurst and Hewitt has had some success recently at Menangle.
Rc9No2 Charlie Machsheen. Is he the best in the race? No. Is he my favourite in the race? Yes.
Rc10No4 Bebrave. Close up at Bathurst should go close.
Rc11No7 Red Sumaria. Followed this guy since he was a freshman.

It seems we agree on three races. If I must pot one of your selections right now it would be Hayden. Don't really rate him. I know too say that about a Bernie Kelly 2yo is either brave or stupid, or possibly both.

Race 9 Waldenburg
Race 10 Bebrave
Race 11 Jinja Gal

Yeh, went with him because of Bruce, in 2yo races he does everything short of picking them up & carrying them to win & also I think the horse might be one of those that's stronger than he is fast at this stage of his career (that's a bit of a Life Sign trait all over anyway) & I think they'll go hard up front tonight so it might be his night to keep coming & close into the faster early fractions. The best laid plans....

I'm putting the house on Captain Joy in the 5th

[Joy]

We're on a different time here in Vietnam so I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to find out how the Captain went

[aussiebreno]

Last night a slender profit, tonight a tidy profit. Well done Triple.

Wolfpack...great drive. Lincoln Royal...OUCH.

[Mighty Atom]

Yes ,great run by Captain Joy but lets face it drop Can return Fire into Captain Joys spot and he wins by a street.

What about Race 3 at Menangle........the runners finished 1st to last in starting price order on the TAB........how often does that happen?.......punters were spot on with the starting price for every runner..........what odds that happening?

I don't know...maybe you should ask Frank O'Sullivan. He will have plenty of time to figure it out after causing some interference not far from home.
