#Military Mission

A Bjorn Baker filly provided a fill-up for a number of punters, but overall it was a frustrating Saturday for the big bets with a stack of second placings.

Trainer Cherie Curtis has come to expect her stable's snub from the bookies. The latest example is with their grey mare Bacio Del Mist, rated a $34 for the NJT Supports Jockeys Handicap (2000m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday. Certainly, there are some in-form stayers in the field including $2.80 favourite Secret Glamour, Worthily ($3.50), Zoumon…

Finding winners is a critical component of punting and a big part of that process is identifying which horses can and can't win.Putting a line through a horse not only helps narrow down the field, but it also presents punters with an opportunity to turn a profit on that runner courtesy of Lay betting - which basically means backing a horse to lose…

Metro racing heads to Randwick on Saturday afternoon for a massive 10-part program. We're looking at perfect conditions for the weekend with minimal rain forecast as we sit on a Good 4 track for raceday. The rail has moved out+5m for the entire circuit, so we should be in for a fair day of racing and hopefully every runner will get their…

Dangers: 12. Key Largo has a strong finish on him, which often comes too late, but he also has a good platform to run well fresh. Yet to win first-up but was narrowly beaten fresh at the start of last prep. He'll be charging. 4. Queen Bellissimo ran well first-up then very game second-up before failing behind a smart one and spelled. Given a nice…

3. Diabelli had a lot against him at Flemington on debut in the Maribyrnong Plate. He got back in a slowly run race down the straight where the winner slipped home in some of the fastest closing splits of the meeting. The son of Fastnet Rock was disappointed for a run late too. At start two he draws a soft gate to track the speed and James McDonald…

Selections based on a good track. 2. Maurice's Medad is a short price for a horse with one win from 20 but he won't know himself in this company. Placed in a BM88 first up this prep then went into the Silver Eagle. Massive class drop for him on just about everything he's contested. Clearly on top. Dangers: 4. Raffish would be just about a good…
