Comments: Gawd. Four selections for four placings yesterday and we're yet to open our account for the month. A heap of selections today should see that change though whether we make a profit or not is the question, as we're probably going to need three of them to win.

Albury 4-1 Commisioner Mac goes well fresh though has to overcome a wide draw at a track where drawing wide over the 1000m will usually kill your chances. Balaklava 2-12 Sister Akhapacs drops a fair bit in grade today, should be able to sit right behind the pace and be in the finish. The topweight beat her home last time at Cheltenham but there was a strong speed that day and she wilted late after drawing off the track and being wide. 7-1 Twelve Oaks carries the System 13 burden but really looks the goods after his very good run behind Lot One, which won again yesterday at Morphettville. Pakenham 1-4 Oh Dear has been a bit dear for punters by getting rolled at both her starts to date for Lee Freedman. She might start really short again today so will be a no bet, as I won't take anything less than $2.50. Sunshine Coast 5-3 Proud Hunter also cops the System 13 handicap and doesn't impress me as the type of horse that can string a couple of wins together. Hopefully I'll be wrong. He's always a chance, though, so at least we'll get a run for our money. Wyong 2-4 Neveaseenbrighta is in consistent form and ran well enough in this class to be a chance in today's race in which he drops 1kg.
