Today: A few POOMA selections today to finish off what has been a completely forgettable month both from a family and a selection point of view but they come out of really good systems so we'll stick with them. Helmut Varshing has had absolutely no luck at his last couple of runs and should get the perfect sit right behind the pacemaker, Scenic Silver. Up at Townsville, Chic Miss started an odds on favourite at her only start and just failed to pick up the winner in the run home. She should atone here though I'll be a bit wary of taking odds on again. Halo To Heaven won at out of the way Charters Towers last time and in spite of his record of 2/21 is very well placed to win again in a field that isn't that strong. Mr Pickwick goes well at Townsville and this isn't much better than what he's been racing lately. At Wyong, 1-2 Nairobi should lead all of the way and win. He's been in good form of late. Leica Con ran well in a strong Class 1 last time and if he can overcome his barrier (which he should be able to) then he's right in this race.

Yesterday: I didn't see any of the races yesterday as I was at a funeral.

POOMAs: There were no POOMA selections yesterday.
