SELECTIONS - 22 December 2006

POOMA selections:

Lismore 4-4 Unfair
Mackay 1-1 Happy Spot
Mackay 2-1 Strath Valley
Mackay 6-9 My Corvett
Moonee Valley 2-4 Gone Critical

Non-POOMA selections (and ruffies in red below):

Nil

(* Any updates for MV after info comes through there *)

Today: Apart from Gone Critical at MV, today's POOMAs all come from a system with a 60%+ live strike rate that normally only has a couple of selections per week. That strike rate is miles higher than the 44% expected so there will be a correction at some point and I'm being a little bit careful backing these ones at present.


Yesterday: The POOMA, Only He Knows, got home in the last at Canterbury at a short $1.50 though the win didn't really match the hype and I'd be a little bit careful about taking a short price at his next start, especially as he'll be up in grade. Darren Beadman rode 5 of the 7 winners last night but really rode a poor race on Pluto Pup when finishing 3rd. That said, the horse is getting a reputation as a bit of a costly conveyance, which is due to its get back style.
