Race 1 Hamilton Hotel Hcp Rest 2 Metro Wins 1400m
Good tempo here saw Woorim track along the rails and have everything to suit. The smaller fields are a bonus for horses like Woorim who normally can get well back but was close enough here with very few horses to negotiate a path through. The overall time was very good basically mirroring Melito’s run in the Winter Stakes albeit run to a different sectional pattern. Woorim was only second up having won impressively when resuming. It will continue through the Winter and can be followed but predominately only in races with smaller fields and good speed. Click Here To Read More

Melbourne’s best trainers

Who are the premier trainers in Australia and how do you assess the best of the best?


Using unfiltered statistics such as number of wins (in isolation) is not a true indication of a trainer’s ability. To counter that, we have compiled what we believe to be a fair statistical analysis of the premiership leading trainers this racing season and for a better measure of success we have only looked at horses starting at 5/1 or less. The reason we have done this is because it’s unfair to gauge a trainer’s performance on horses that are unsuited due to the track condition, distance, stage of preparation or any other factor. So we have concentrated on horses who were in the market and therefore expected to perform well.

Another key statistic we looked at was the ability of a trainer to maintain a horse’s winning performance. That is being able to back a horse up from a win and being able to win again next start. Click Here To Read More

State of Origin preview

The Blues will be strong defensively and can clearly win this game in the final 20 minutes as they have an outstanding spine in Hayne, Barrett, Pearce and Ennis, who will be looking to exploit their left with the Dragon combination of Creagh, Cooper and try scoring freak Brett Morris. They will think they are a chance against Willie Tonga, who normally plays on the other side, and big Izzy Folau who is often caught out with his lateral defence. For this to work Pearce and Barrett will have to combine well and they only met for the first time last week and have had an interrupted preparation as Mrs Barrett dropped a future number 6 last Friday. It will be interesting to see how Barrett handles the calls as he will have to be a “part time” Dragon again. Click Here To Read More

Eagle Farm review


Race 1 Listed 2yr old Fillies 1200m
Very much a leader dominated affair. The winner PARRIWI was able to dictate in front and the race time was moderate with the last 600 in even tempo. BIANCA JEWEL was a good run again to get as close as it did in the circumstances but it does get back and do this quite often. The Bart Cummings youngster ARDECHE showed better manners this time and ran on well against the tempo and is an improving type with obvious ability. It will win soon. PYROGRAPHY found the grade too strong for now. Click Here To Read More

Stradbroke tips

Eagle Farm Race 7 The Stradbroke Handicap 1400m
Some pertinent historical facts: In the last 7 years no winner has carried more than 55kg. 3 year-old’s have won 3 from 7 and barriers have not had a huge impact with winners coming from 17, 18 and 19. Barrier stats don’t usually mean a lot given the differing early tactical speed of each horse, however position in the run does. Interestingly no winner in this period has been an on-pacer with every winner being 8th or worse at the turn. This is because the pace is always on!

You can’t bet on statistics, but you can use them to weight ratings.

Those who fit the weighting criteria and are current overlays are MELITO, LATIN NEWS and ALBERT THE FAT.
