2 from 2 so far, so I thought I'd start a thread, nominating a horse to follow for the day.
Horse To Follow Today is:
SEYMOUR RACE 5 NUMBER 3 MY FREE WILL
Was going to win for all money last start but he just peaked on his run at the 150, which suggested he was still short in fitness. Today he will be cherry ripe, has the gun draw, gun rider in Nick Hall and all he needs to do is bring his last start form today and he'll go very close to winning.

Had every chance yesterday to win. Bit disappointing.

WARWICK FARM RACE 7 NUMBER 5 RAIN MELODY
Couldn't pick up with 58kg last start over 1400m. Her first up performance was super when doing all the work to chase down Concini. I think from gate One, Nash on Top, drop back in journey and in a somewhat easier race she can bounce back to score this afternoon.

If you're playing multiples in that race it's very much worth putting EXCELLENT POINT if it repeats it's last run on a wet track here it'll be in the finish
Skateboard is a promising horse nudge - looks as though it will race through the grades and should get too sat class but good luck
Skateboard will be hard to beat but the barrier is a concern, as is the track and the form that Corey is in at the moment, which is patchy.
Fan of Tonk but didn't think it was up to this, good tough win though in the best part of the track, runs of the 2 underneath it were great also.
I was hoping he would take a sit..4 wide was up against it, there's only one jockey i am confident on up there ! Nash..still 1/2l off the winner and will also appreciate a dryer track.
Yeah, Skateboard and the first three over the line were very good.
You know I've followed the harness tips but this is currently the best thread on PP. WIth the NRL thread of course. Keep going mate.
Just got pipped in a three-way thriller yesterday.
Horse To Follow Today is:
CAULFIELD RACE 7 NUMBER 8 WASSAIC
Very keen on this gelding this arvo. Led at a strong tempo and found the 59kg too much when beaten last start by St Clement Danes. Lovely 4.5kg weight drop today, firmer track will assist, as will the barrier (eight). He is a front-runner and the speed appears to be him and Beyond Pardon. With Kingy's cool pair of hands, he will get the gun run on the back of Beyond Pardon and with the 3kg weight pull in favour of Wassaic, I think the son of Elusive Quality will prove too good.

Nudge i'll let you know that newitt slaughtered Wassaic last start, would of won with a better ride. Note the "jockey change" ! Beyond Pardon is the one they all have to beat, has been in excellent form and with the scr of Comic composer looks the clear leader again and the one they have to run down. No doubt Wassaic has ability but it's figures are a bit below what will be required to win this. Should improve though with a better ride from S king. Good luck Nudge !
That was a very ordinary ride from Maskiell on Beyond Pardon, the horse loves to roll along in front, you cant hold the horse back and sit three deep. Wassaic was very ordinary, looking at the Stewards report now and they vetted the horse after the race and nothing was wrong, whilst Kingy said that the horse hung in throughout the race.

WARRNAMBOOL RACE 2 NUMBER 8 SPARKING
I think he is a special today. Liked his run at Moonee Valley behind Tinamou when he got well back and ran on well at the end, suggesting that run was just to get the cobwebs out for this race today. He won well two starts back, even though his opponents weren't flash. The key today is jockey Steve Pateman. The horse loves being ridden cold and if the breaks go his way where it counts, with a 5kg weight pull over Some Are Bent, I think he'll win.

JOCKEY To Follow today is:
CHRIS SYMONS AT GEELONG
Has six handy rides today, and I got on him at $9.50 with TAB Sportsbet. Guaranteed points in Race 1 with Rock To Excess. In Race 2, Miss Underhill is first-up and did have good form last prep. Race 3 he rides Cool Cobra, who has been trialling well on the Synthetic surface. In Race 7 he rides Wakayama, who will appreciate the firm surface and the fact there isn't much pace here. Race 8 he rides Rhiannons Joy, a stayer who is first up, but I wouldnt be surprised to see her run on given the form that trainer Rick Hore Lacy is in at the moment and in the Last race he rides Marker, who will get a lovely run from the barrier. I think the $9.50 I got was brilliant. As I write this he has been backed into $8.

Nice bet nudge looks a good chance.Looking at his rides at sale on thursday he will be awfully, ridiculously hard to beat
No points in Race 1= Symons at $21 now. Have a go at that. Yeah Reeso, I'd be very surprised if he doesnt win the Jockey Challenge at Sale.
Horse To Follow Today is:
RANDWICK RACE 5 NUMBER 11 DATS MA GAL
Given it is a bog track today, I am very keen on this mare and her chances today. Her three runs this time in have been good, which did include a win first up over Fairy Gumnut and Sunset Coast, who are two above average fillies. The scratchings make it a field of 11 which will suit her, as will the strength that Tye Angland has in his riding action. With luck in running, she will be awfully hard to beat.

i thought so to today nudge but didnt here or see race how did it go. i see it wasn't placed but was it a decent run etc.
It was heavily backed from $12 into about $6.50 on track...It did absolutely nothing. She got caught deep but she was hard ridden about 500m and that was it for her.
I think C Newitt is a good bet for the jockey challenge at Sale today.
After one race, I'd be surprised if Newitt beat Symons, but we'll see.
Horse To Follow Today is:
GOLD COAST RACE 2 NUMBER 5 ALONG CAME DOLLY
Got a long way back first up and ran on very well, albeit three lengths from the winner. Being by Hussonet, she'll relish the extra 200m, and today she has drawn perfectly in barrier one, so Kelvin Wharton has great options. I think she is the good thing of the day.
I couldn't get my tips in for today but I really like Mossurmi in the Coffs Cup.

I was thinking ur same thoughts Nudge but newitt node rode well and got the cash. I was quite happy after my bets only netted a win and placing with the tips. Think he may be a jockey to follow over the next few weeks with a few good rides booked. Resetting is a horse to follow i hear on the grape vine. Trainers used the race as an exercise for future races so follow this one.
Maybe Chris Symons today at Geelong? Well done mate with Froggy yesterday.

Tragedy to see what happened to him at Moonee Valley first up. Rawiller had a stranglehold on him and the horse just couldnt a get a clear run and went to the line untouched. He doesnt meet strong opposition today and he should just about be winning today with any luck.

Nudge Little akie's figures were OUTSTANDING !! for a maiden last start, it's figures are clearly on top here and has similar conditions today, looks very hard to beat.
Well done nudge ! Little akie = little heart
Roulettes in the next race at Sydney. Drops 2kg in weight and with cover can win this.

RANDWICK RACE 4 NUMBER 9 ACACIA ALBA
This is the sort of race where a horse like Acacia Alba can bob up and win. Wasn't far away from Velocity Gal two starts back on the slow going then last start at Grafton had no luck at all behind Sukab. The 1400m suits, she will get a gun run from barrier two, Dan Ganderton is riding well and the field isn't overly strong. Looks to be great value today.

I tipped it today as well mate, thinking like alot of Hayes horses it a pretender.
bit disappointing aye Steels? Had his chance to round up Allanthus, just no good in the end. Maybe looking for the paddock or perhaps a better barrier to sit near the pace? Havent had a chance to look at Sunday Eagles, I'll get back to you on that one.

COLERAINE RACE 4 NUMBER 7 LEMONADE PARTY
Ran a really good race on Sunday I thought. He loomed up big time at the 800m but fitness found him out in the end. He should be cherry ripe for today's race, the key to him today is that he has upside while the others are nearly at the end of their campaigns.

When this horse ran fifth two starts back, I immediately blackbooked it because it was very unlucky not to win the race. Then I dont know what happened last start, got back but didnt come on. To say this field is weak is an understatement. Small field suits, as does the engagement of Luke Nolen. Should be good value and if she re produces her run two starts back, she'll win.

I have a good opinion of Miss Alia as well Nudge, but you have to consider the track conditions - Heavy 10 at Sandown Hillside - She is no genuine super mudlark wet tracker so a Heavy 10 was never the go. Likes the sting out yes. Also a real dour Mare - Mile and a half is her go. Wouldn't think she had the brilliance and class for the City Cups - but something in the lead up or Country Cup perhaps. Love to see her up here for the Bendigo Cup with a bit of rain around.
Keep up the good work - nice to see some analysis behind your comments rather than just "this fly going up the wall".

Yeah, wasnt expecting it to be a Heavy 10, but she still ran on ok. She could be a smokey for the Bendigo Cup, but realistically she is better suited in those Moonee Valley grindathons at the night meetings. She rellished that last prep and maybe could do the same.

He is 11 years old, but age doesnt stop horses eg Mustard and Mindreader. Definite value chance.

He wont be paying back the $2.2 million that Singo forked out for him, but with time he'll be winning a listed race. Needed the run first up on the bog track.

He'll appreciate the firm ground and although he may need this run also, he'll give plenty of cheek.

The others except for one or two are out of form so she gets her chance to win today.

He trialled well recently when winning, beating home Super Boy, who trialled really nicely. He has plenty of weight to carry but given an easy lead, he'll win.

Comepsa hasn't won since june 2009 and before that Dec 2007. 100/1 today
Any horse can turn average form into winning form. Jedi Starfighter did it 3 weeks ago, Why not Comepsa? I think he is worth an e/w ticket.
I have two horses to follow today.
SALE RACE 6 NUMBER 9 ELITE EBONY
She hates wet tracks, her record says that so forget her Caulfield and judge her on previous form which includes a fourth behind Enzed Girl. Drops big time in class today and is on the limit. The rise in distance is a concern but on ability alone, she is the one to beat with Dan Nikolic in the saddle.
SCONE RACE 2 NUMBER 2 LIFEBELT
Tragedy to see what happened to him at Wyong. Just couldnt get a crack until the final 100m then flew home and really should have bolted in. Drawn perfectly in gate one, he should sit just off the pace and the field he is up against arent good. He deserves to win and today should be his day.

SEYMOUR RACE 8 NUMBER 13 AMHERST
I liked the way he closed off last start. The stewards report says he lost his near fore and near hind plates so that adds a bit more merit to his run. Three placings from four starts when racing second up, same stats on a heavy track, two placings from two at Seymour, drawn well, ace rider Michael Walker is riding and being on the limit, he should prove hard to beat.

MORPHETTVILLE RACE 1 NUMBER 6 HULA DANE
Forget he went around behind Titch. The track was bottomless and he cant handle that. He was pretty good the start before at Coleraine where he won by six lengths. With the exception of the topweight, this is an ordinary field and with luck running, I think this bloke may get up at odds.

SANDOWN RACE 4 NUMBER 8 MISS ALIA
Surely she cant lose today. Plenty to like about her run last start behind Crabs, again just needing the run. She strikes a firmer surface today, steps up to 3000m (placed over the distance at Moonee Valley) and meets a very weak race. She is the best horse in the race and should prove it on the line.

CANTERBURY RACE 3 NUMBER 5 PHENOMONAL LASS
Liked the way she raced last time in and proved she will do the same this prep with a solid first up effort behind Grand Rhumba in the dash for cash at Newy on Cameron Handicap Day. She is fitter, and she'll appreciate racing at Canterbury, where she has had success. There appears to be plenty of early speed so that is a problem but if Blake gets her in to get cover, she'll be right in the finish.

Nudge you exactly right with the speed ! I am expecting a hell for leather breakneck speed which may impact on the horse with the best figures in Magic weekend. Had ok figures last start behind Thankgodyou'rehere who was outstanding off only a moderate speed, Griffon had every chance that day and i it's looking as though Griffon may struggle to get a strong 6 furlongs.
Tired horses may fall back onto magic weekend but if he get's clear running then he should be winning.
Budabar didn't fire first up on a heavy track last time in, class runner and could run over the top of Magic weekend. Good luck nudge !
Phenomonal lass needs two things to win a dry track which it's gets and to lead and control the race which is impossible imo.

Poor ride by Josh Adams last night on Magic Weekend.

RANDWICK RACE 1 NUMBER 4 STREETFIGHTER
Five horse field, anything can happen. This bloke was very good in the Newy Cup, he was going to win on the home turn but fitness beat him. He will be 100% ready to go and speaking to Terry Mathrick (trainer) on Thursday, he sounded confident that the horse can cause a major upset here.
