Comments: Well, I said that if you could make a profit yesterday then more power to you. I ended up taking a Bunbury quaddie (missed first leg) and Wyong quaddie, which paid $7K when the $75 shot I had on my ticket steamed home to win clearly. It's not every day (or week) that you get such a big price home. Geelong 5-2 Bianbad really hit the line hard to win his Maiden at this track last time. Maiden winners into Class 1 races is the biggest single-grade jump there is but he does look to have a lot of upside so happy to take $4. Grafton 6-5 Nimie took 11 runs to win its Maiden and then another 11 to make it two successes so you'd have to be a little careful but she is by Clang, a noted sire of wet trackers, and did win easily last time out at a non-TAB Glen Innes meeting. I'd want $8+ to get interested, though.
