I see it was punted second time out from 10/1 into 7/2 over 1200m, so it must be showing them something back home. Bottom line, when they average the betting out, there is no way it will go bigger (than 7/2), if anything, it may come into 28/10 - 5/2, and if it has improved since it's second run, it is the one they will punt. So the current odds at Hollywood of 7/2 is worth a punt.

has your form taken a slight dip since you changed your signature ?

Morning Colours, the truth be known, I am doing very well punting wise, especially since Tuesday night. Without taking a bet today in either centre, I am hoping to close some decent multiples. Whilst Silver Honey didn't come to the party last night, one must hedge one's bets, especially in this game. On the Turffontein thread, I admit to Athina being pivotal for the success of my day, but if she fails, it's not the end of the world, mix & match, as our good friend Englander would say. As a consequence of Silver Honey getting beat, I did take the Marcus double (races 4 & 5), and was pleasantly surprised to get 12/10, which recovered the lost money on Silver Honey, and for good measure have the treble standing :-

Whilst Majmu hasn't won yet, in effect I have 7/2 on a 7/10 shot. On what we know, I must feel optimist.

I think to enjoy horse racing, accept you cannot be right every time you take a bet, that is not going to happen. I also feel if you exercise patience, you can be relatively successful, i.e. why bet on every race at a meeting (now we have PE, Friday day, Greyville Friday night, and the weekend's betting is available up to Sunday) especially when you fancy something later over the weekend. "Marry" the two or three should you have early success the Friday, it is easier on the pocket, trust me. Just for what it's worth, here's to hoping as well :-

If none of the above click, I will still be ahead because of the initial legs.

Play well buddy, more importantly, don't blindly follow what I fancy, check for yourself to see if you agree, if not, find a (possible) winner in another race.
