TooFast Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I've blown BOTH my BB races. Not good ! I should have taken the advice of Geoff -our super-sub in waiting - who has won 4 from 5 (including 2 quinellas) on the spare set he emailed to me earlier today. But let's face it ...who goes to the younger brother saying ya can't cope and need help ! 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 In the next: Five-Oh can pull one back (1-3) with Way Beyond, The Actuary or Kefalonia and pull two back (2-3) with Cosmic Gossip while Outburst helps The James Gang go 5-zip clear with See Marie while Concillium helps (a lot!) Maximillions helped by Toscanini or Cosmic Gossip Much Too Fast helped by Haz De Bee, Way Beyond & Outburst - quinellas might make a difference here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Max vs Craig match looks critical. They have 6 different picks in the remaining 3 races, Max with 2 BBs, Craig with one. Heather and Zac - separated by only $18 - have 5 different selections to come (Zac 2 BBs to Heather's one). 48.00 Max 46.00 Craig 65.00 Georgy Boy 212.00 Rex 296.20 Rob 98.00 Howie 126.00 Heather 144.00 Zac 98.00 Graeme 0.00 Ashoka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have followed 'Merited' since its first-up run this campaign .... has a ton of toe ..... I was expecting it would just be a matter of time ..... At $38 today it looked wonderful value.
