41% pay a dividend
Two winners, three seconds a third and a fourth from our 17 tips yesterday, a 41% dividend return.
Philosopher (10 unit win) was ridden to perfection on the tight MV course by the talented Ms Hefel for a dominant win at $2.50.
We spruiked up Brilliant Mind and Bold Type to fill out the quinella, which they did beautifully paying $10.10.
Placings for Belclare ($3.00), Greyt Mumma ($1.60), and More Sugar ($2.60), with Idyllic running fourth.
Five from the book as we hit Christmas Eve, let’s see if we can put a cherry on the top of the cake! Have a great Christmas all!!
Five for Christmas Eve…
LA OPCION
Gore, 6
Huge drop in grade but wasn’t going that well prior, long time between drinks and only won two from 33, one with Tina onboard. Third fav at $5, EW best…
BET: 3 units ew
CHOKITO
Gore, 7
Similar formline for her but last run for second indicated she may be back on track, chance to go on with it as $3.40 fav in a small field.
BET: 8 unit win
TARA JASMINE
Ipswich, 4
Mixing her form makes her hard to follow, perennial backmarker, not a heavy tracker, maybe a place at $6.
BET: 3 units ew
FETCH
Ipswich, 5
Back in grade as she resumes here as $1.95 fav. Won 3 from 5 first up, jockey is 3:1-1 onboard, should be winning this.
BET: 10 unit win
