Ipswich | November 26
Mugs, Mugs, the rains are here. We head to Ipswich for more of the mid-week magic and not only is it a shortened card, its also going to be a slop fest. We find ourselves on a heavy 9 track with the rail out seven metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.38pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (2190M) Making Eyes looks to be the one here from barrier two and I am taking on the odds on shot. Heavy track will leave a lot to be desired with almost no attempts on this kind of tra

We are back in Brisbane for more of the mid-week magic and fair to say we need to lift after last week. The Group ones are over in Perth on the weekend but forget that lets find a winner locally. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track with the rail out five metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.43pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1350M) Not keen this race pretty even field, happy to keep the cue in the rack till later in the day. Race 2: MAIDEN (1110M) Wooten Hyde , thr

Eagle Farm | November 12
The spring carnival is over, and we are a few weeks away from the Summer Carnival in Queensland. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track with the rail out nine metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 2.18pm. Race 1: Class 1 (1000M) Interesting race this with a few non-winners Amosu comes through some very solid form lines here and with the pace drawn out here she will get a good run in behind and will need the gaps late but should be good enough to win this with

Cup day has been run and won and what a day it was for the Australian bread now champion in Haf Yours. While this meant no mid-week racing here in Queensland we have decided to treat you to a set of Oaks day tips at Ipswich. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track with the rail will back in the true position for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.02pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1666M) Pretty smart way to start the day here, Ben Thompson on the favourite Hard as Brok, drawn lo

Cup week is here and so apparently are hail storms, half of Birsbane without power and thirty-eight degree days. While all that is going on however we have a cracker mid-week card at Doomben that we need to assess. We find ourselves on a heavy 9 track with potentially more rain and the possibility of a down grade through the day. The rail will be out ten and a half metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.08pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (2070M) Not an absolute lick of

Well we are well and truly in Spring and nothing sais Spring like a tiny seven race card at Eagle Farm on a Wednesday with all the superstars arriving in Melbourne for the Cox Plate. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track throughout the day with the rail out ten and a half metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.33pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1600M) We start the day with a maiden over the mile which is an interesting race on paper. The usual suspects are all here and T

Everest week is here, Caufield Cup as well but we have benchmark racing at Doomben and we know what the mugs prefer, midweek madness. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track throughout the day with the rail out eight and a half metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.23pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1200M) Happy to keep it in the holster early here at Doomben, open maiden with no standouts, follow the general maiden rule, drawn low and money push. Race 2: MAIDEN (1200M)
