Comments: The POOMAs are having a rollicking good time this month and we had another big price selection land yesterday with the win of Brackley Hatch at an amazing $16, which put the new System 18 well in front. How, in a 10 horse field, he could have gone out that price when he's got a 4:2-1 record at the track and was only up 1kg for winning over the course and in the same class last time is truly beyond me. I'll take it, though! If you were following the non-POOMA selections, as well, then you could have picked up Full On Amy at $20. I had a $10 place all up (knowing they'd be a fair price) on the system selections at Tamworth in races 2,3,4 & 5 and they all ran in the top three paying $1.80, $3.70, $5.10 and $4.70 the place, which returned just under $1,600. I'll take that any day. Mind, you, it's not the best place all up I've seen. I was in South Yarra TAB one day and a bloke had a 4 horse, $5 place all up that returned $5,500. Grafton 5-1 Casino Bob has won his last couple and drops in grade for this. It's an even looking field but the $2.60 on the morning line is too short for me. Queanbeyan 2-8 Beautiful Thea went like a three legged cow last time when favourite here. Has had a month off and is better suited over the shorter journey so I expect her to go close. Queanbeyan 5-3 Pass It On won over this course two weeks ago in a RB57 race. Drops in weight, only goes to a RB62 and has a 6:2-3 record at the track, which is one he must prefer given his 27:3-9 record. Must be a fair chance to bring up win number four.
