Comments: Yesterday's 2 from 3 took the recent POOMA performance to 12 wins from the last 15 picks, which is quite handy. I had 6 horses in the last leg of the MV quaddie last night after standing out Lakemba Gold in the third leg but finished 2nd ($17K result) and 3rd ($25K) behind the $45K result with Sans Gene winning. I did lay off on the other runners so ended up winning $2K on the race but that was small consolation. The moral of the story? Remember what I say about quaddies - you must have a short leg, preferably just one horse and a maximum of two. If you can't pick one winner straight out in four races then what are you doing playing at all? The POOMAs today all look like they've got strong chances. I potted Meurice for being a bit of a speedy squib after his last run but this looks a lot easier and Sandown is actually a squib's track in spite of the long run in. If Byway is ever going to win another race and live up to his early promise then he'd have to start today, as he won't bump into many weaker races. At Eagle Farm, Wings Of Seraph is going through the grades nicely and although this is a fair step up he looks very well in. Over at Morphettville, Family Guy came from gate 13 of 13, did work, rounded them up and won in fast time only 0.6s outside the track record (albeit on a day of fast times). With the top two in the race he might be $4+, which is good value. At Ascot, Real Mak suffered his first defeat last time, which I had anticipated because I thought that the drop back from 1200m to 1000m would work against him and play into the hands of eventual winner, Metallic Storm, which he meets here again today. He'll have to work forward from his gate, which is how he races anyway, and might be around $4, which I reckon is good value.
