Racing October Daily Punt- A cup , A plate and trip up Everest

[rank and file]

what were the mechanics behind this pick?

Nearly pinched Herbet Power at 40/1
Hit the line hard that day

 

[Aussie Assault]

Shaping as a Prince of Penzance / Vow and Declare sort of year

Agree. I have as much confidence in a mystery tri as anything I like that this stage.

looks like a few winners can be found in the afternoon, but one long shot set your money on fire chance could be terramater, RAND R8.

it got completely wrecked last time out but has good history in all important metrics. if they have learnt anything and if the horses has improved at all, it could snag a place in this even race.

15.0 place, $5 could become $75 and you could almost buy a packet of tim tams

nothing of note today, but having a look at NZ for the first time. seems to be a bunch of horses used to wet tracks finally finding good tracks vs plodders who never do well on good.
