I'm keen on a few here. :D

Some very good fields, going to be hard to find a winner IMO.

Got a few i like :)

Got 6 out of 9 last weekend.

Some good fields for Doncaster day, here's what I think.

SR1 - Barlagarney
SR2 - Snow Alert (eachway)
SR3 - Orca was too good last time and looks well suited here
SR5 - I really liked the run of New Day Rising last start and will be having a trifecta with it and the top 2 (Phelan Ready & Manhattan Rain)
SR6 - A no bet race for me but I will be cheering for Takeover Target
SR7 - All Silent will only be beaten by bad luck. Throw inTheseo, Hot Danish, Solo Flyer and Black Piranha for the multiples
SR8 - Gallica is all class and that should be enough for her to win here. Purple, Daffodil and Zapurple for the multiples

And for anyone betting on other events away from Sydney, wait until the last two races in Brisbane.

BR7 - On The Fridge will go well fresh
BR8 - Zero Rock is a top class filly and its main danger is bad luck

Good luck to everyone having a punt this weekend.

Purple to win the Oaks. All Silent the Doncaster and Orca was the knight in shining armour for me last week and owes me nothin so I'll be on him again. Apache in the TJ.

Thought id pop in here and put my tips in for the day.

Race 2: Frevashi again looks the class runner in the field, i dont think the top weight will prevent him from winning this one.

Race 4: Prima Nova went very close to beating divine rebel last week, has hit its straps and should put in a great effort at longer odds.

Race 5: Tickets champion horse in the making, this will be the race where he earns a name for himself. (tough field doubt ill be having a punt on this race)

Race 6: Takeover Target very tough race but im putting TT on top.

Race 7: Vision And Power backed him two weeks ago and ran an exceptional race kicking back on the inside to win it, not jumping off him now. Down in weights and will go very close.

Race 8: Zapurple another tough race so im going for some each way value, ran very greenly and 3 wide the trip last start will like the distance and should find the line hard.

Well would ya look at this? Lets get these last 2 up to complete some outstanding tipping.

Vision and Power how blind am I? I said to myself he was incredibly well at the weights and loves the soft track. Didnt bet at all on the race though so not so bad. If I did I would have gone for All Silent anyway.

4 from nine aint bad.

Won quite a lot today so im happy, a bit unlucky with Zapurple missing the start by 20 lengths.

Also tickets running 3-4 wide for the trip to only miss out by 3/4 of a length.

Overall a great days punting for me :)

Great ride by Jimmy Cassidy and training performance by Joseph Pride of Vision And Power winning the Doncaster yesterday. Congrats to the connections and im very proud i followed up punting on him after his good win last start. cheers Dougie :D
