Today: Meetings only at Queanbeyan and Terang where today's POOMAs run. 3-10 Winonalass comes from a system with a 50%+ strike rate but doesn't have the sort of form that is normally picked by that system even though she looks to have claims in a weak field. At her first run she drew 14 of 14 at Warrnambool, settled near the rear an ran on in good style over 1100m. Stepped up to 1400m at her next start she was ridden outside the leader, went too hard and weakened into 5th. She'll need to get a softer run today. 6-1 Alexander Beetle took off like an Exocet missile from a wide gate last time and was two lengths clear after only 100m. He kept going at a strong pace and was only caught late even though the winner's margin was a length. He should give a great sight and comes from the same 50%+ system as Winonalass. 8-2 Run Barry Run jumped from winning a Cl2 into Cl4 company at Hamilton last time, sat outside the leader and was a little bit disappointing in finishing 5th although he wasn't far away. There's a fair bit of pace in this race with Nuclear Roo, Linconi and La Reef so he might be able to position 4th and run into the race at the 200m.

Yesterday: 5 from 10 yesterday returning $16.50 so that was handy and gave us a winning weekend. The best result came when Illuminates won the Slipper at Wyong at a terrific $6.40 in a race that saw two of the first starters backed to beat him.
