Getting Out In Style
On an up and down day, we finished off very stylishly indeed in the last race at Moonee Valley last week, when our Best Roughie of the day saluted at very nice odds for those looking for a get out.
BEST ROUGH: Race 9: 6-MOURINHO 1st W=$17.10, P=$4.20
Even better, we justified why we made it the Best Rough bet of the day and he pretty much won as we predicted. Well, there is a first time for everything.
This one just loves MV, and has won 3 from 7 here, and just keeps popping up at odds in his races. Better over further and is 1st up today, but so is most of this field, and he has drawn OK so might settle closer than expected.
Ran a huge race 1st up last time in at odds. Most of these are going to drop back and are looking to kick off spring campaigns to loftier targets, so if he jumps and settles on speed here he is going to put himself into the finish.
Worth something each way at odds at around $18.
The Betting Portfolio made a $34 profit, and was probably unlucky not to be more, with the Best Each Way and Daily Double just missing, and getting a little ripped off with a small quinella dividend around another one we pushed at good odds, Race 4: 13-RELENTLESS 1st W=$9.10
2014 Spring Campaign: 2 weeks - 1 profit - 1 return - 0 wipe outs - Net: +$10.20

We now have our list of Horses To Follow up and running with form links to each runner. Plus there is a
very handy Track Archive listing the racing pattern for every Melbourne major spring meeting for the last 15 years, which is stuff you just won't find anywhere else on
this great, big internet thingy.
Check out how the Betting Portfolio is going at the Bottom Line.
