I agree , I was basing my opinion on the fact that Ch Ch had recorded the wettest month in its recorded history ( 310mm ) since 1863. So it was a pleasant surprise and good for the club. Looking at Results......I note that reviewing 1st pick's only B.Pop managed 1 winner of the 10 races ( Imperatrix $1.90 ) and A.Rodd zero of the 9 races at Riccarton even when race 1 had 6 run , Race 2 had 5 , Race 3 had 4 , Race 4 had 8. Shows you how much knowledge you need. Memphis3, scooby3051, Cabbage and 2 others 2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted August 7, 2022 The Shark: Best At Ruakaka On Saturday heTTTTTTTTHShark: BeTst At Ruakaka On Saturday Race 1 Race 1 8 Kaimai Queen Well bred mare who has paced in her last three starts, including a fast-fiishing third in much stronger company last month. Will carry a light weight courtesy of Niranjan Parmar's three-kilo claim, and won't mind the improving track conditions. Selections: 8-1-3-4 BET NOW Race 2 1 Arjay's Flight Mark Brosnan-trained four-year-old who resumed with an excellent run to land a placing last month. Will eat up the extra trip, and has drawn to get every possible chance to break through on Saturday. Selections: 1-7-2-5 BET NOW Race 3 4 Follow Your Dreams Has a big weight advantage over Chevron and Ever So Easy, and showed at his last start that 1600 metres suits. Should prove hard to get past. Selections: 4-3-1-5 BET NOW Race 4 2 Lord Cosmos Talented sprinter whose recent trial effort suggests he has come back from a spell in terrific order. He attacked the line strongly at the end of 950 metres under a soft ride. Selections: 2-1-3-6 BET NOW Race 5 3 Homegrown Te Akau son of Turn Me Loose who has impressed at the trials, winning one and placing in two others. Capable of taking this out on debut from the good draw. Selections: 3-1-9-2 BET NOW Race 6 3 Grey Wolf Forget he went around at his last start as he struggled to cop the track conditions. He will be suited by the better track at Ruakaka on Saturday, and has drawn to get a gun run. Selections: 3-6-5-2 BET NOW Race 7 2 Taoiseach Disappointing first up but will appreciate the weaker company here, and will enjoy being back on a better track. Was competitive in good fields during his summer campaign. Selections: 2-14-7-4 BET NOW Race 8 1 Entriviere Star sprinter who has been more than competitive against top sprinters in Australia. Has a good record fresh and weight won't be too much of an issue with apprentice Niranjan Parmar claiming three kilos. Selections: 1-2-5-9 BET NOW Race 9 10 Cruisy Lass Local who has put in stylish efforts at her previous two starts. Will love the step up in trip to 2100 metres, and has drawn to get a soft trip. Selections: 10-1-5-3 BET NOW Race 10 5 Miss Onaki Put in an outstanding run to win her last start and looks well placed here to make it back-to-back wins. Pet trip and has picked up a good draw. Selections: 5-4-6-2 BET NOW Best: 2 Lord Cosmos (Race 4) Next: 5 Miss Onaki (Race 10) Value: 3 Grey Wolf (Race 6) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted August 7, 2022 The Shark: Best At Riccarton Park On Saturday Race 1 1 Mizzena Has been running solid races over the sticks up north without winning. She's deep into her campaign now and she takes on easier opposition on Saturday. Won in this state during her last preparation. Selections: 1-4-2-3 BET NOW Race 2 4 Delphillius Tipped out after disappointing on debut and has come back in great order. She has easily won both trials in preparation for her return. Selections: 4-1-3-2 BET NOW Race 3 2 Albaron Has had two starts over steeples this time in with both efforts promising better things are to come. Gets perfect track conditions for him on Saturday, and the step back in trip suits. Selections: 2-1-4-3 BET NOW Race 4 1 Midnight Runner Bolted in under a big weight at his last start and will get similar track conditions on Saturday. Should prove hard to hold out again.

Selections: 2-3-1-5 BET NOW Race 6 6 Sir Beets Another one down from the Central Districts who rates a good winning chance here. Crying out for this trip now after attacking the line strongly in recent starts. Selections: 6-9-7-5 BET NOW Race 7 8 Facetime Terri Rae-trained mare who went close here on the synthetic track last week. Steps back to her favourite trip, and won't mind the wet track.

Has come up with a good draw, will carry a light weight, and loves a wet track.

Only took around 10 years... I understand why they provide tips. They're sole purpose is to drive TAB revenue. You could argue they're not even there to provide quality information about the horse/race. In Australia they have tipsters in a presenting role, which is vastly different, and they are worth listening to and entertaining at the same time.
