STARSTATZ RACING 26 JUNE 2011

The Straits Times advertorials are either very confused of what they are trying to promote ? Is it a win for Better Than Ever or a win for Don't Tell The Wife(DTTW) According to Andrew Frost it mentioned his win on a wet track n adds ....may need this run and prefer later and I am inclined to agree with Frosty unless the track is soft going. Even if the going is yielding and BTE flounders I expect Jamal Malik or even Merchant to account for DTTW easily considering the rating differential if this was a normal handicap race DTTW would give 18 kg to BTE and 8 kg to JM and 0.5 kg to Merchant..... Does Craig Brennan not have other races to write about? On a casual note Mr Brennan should be given a yellow card for wasting space a full column today and a half column on Friday.... He makes DTTW the headline yet he tips BTE in the 2nd half of his column?!! Despite this he gets the headline wrong by making DTTW the headline ... What a mess! I dismiss the chances of DTTW making it in the top 3 much less the top 4. If I write this post after the results are known than I have no moral standing to comment either way. The fact that I am commenting before the start of races makes my comments when they bear fruit more credible. I have not pepared well doing only cursory handicap rating calculations but today's card with smaller fields looks easier than Friday when favourites fell like 9 pins. My selections today are:- Race 1....Big ...... 1-14-12-3. Race 2....medium.......1-3-6-11. Race 3.....medium 5-1-2-3

Race 4 ....small ....9-8-1-11

Race 5....big....4-3-2-6

Race 6..... small....6-2-3-7....wild longshot of the night

race 7....medium....5-1-6-8

Rave 8 ....big....6-9-4-5....best bet of the day

Race 9....medium,....4-1-6-3

Race 10...big....1-2-3-5/4-7-6...best quartet of the night...if budget is tight concentrate on the top4 or 5 picks....as you can see there is no room for Dont Tell The Wife in my top 6!

Race 11....big ....1-4-5-2...safe big bet

race 12....small....1-2-3-6
