I was umming and ahing whether to pick Mohican Heights (16/1) but I sided with Max Vega (40/1) purely because it's been on my ATR Tracker since last year. A P O' Brien has a knack of getting big price placers and the one I'd back is Serpentine (22/1) These three in a combination forecast would be a fun bet

Despite a terrible Royal meeting month ended up being a good one , some good tipping going on & some good , clean competitive fun , I think we're all winners 👏👏👏

Hi everyone Shortly after Avongirl’s (hereafter Helen) most recent post on Tuesday afternoon this week, Helen was taken ill and two days later ended up in hospital. This led to a serious operation this evening (it is still Friday as far as I am concerned) but that all went well and I’m sure she will be back on here shortly. I would say that she will explain more then, but the last 3 days are actually a bit of a mystery to her so we will see how it will be communicated. Suffice to say, Helen is on the road to recovery and she or I will update on her progress shortly. Thanks Duncan

Great fun, as always. And I came away with a prize! Great forum, great competitors - what's not to like? And all expertly managed by @BillyHills.

I'm looking forward to some more cracking action in Australia over the weekend and hoping to build on last weeks fantastic showing. On Saturday we have winter finals day at Flemington which looks a tough card, but I have bets in 3 races there. Randwick is the Sydney meeting this week and I have bets in 5 races there. Also on Sunday there is top class jumping action at Warrnambool and I will be previewing that tomorrow. Not time for massive previews but here are my tips and brief thoughts. Flemington R2 (3.25am) Ex UK horse Lord Belvedere was a big price winner for us a couple of weeks ago and although he's nowhere near that price tomorrow I think he can win again. He was strong in the finish that day and he looks like he has been building up nicely for this contest as his main target of the prep.The 2nd Chapada is weighted to reverse form and he is clearly a danger, but he may already have peaked this prep so I am sticking with Lord Belvedere. Lord Belvedere @ 9/4 with William Hll Flemington R5 (5.10am) I don't think Rich Charm would have won a couple of weeks ago in the race won by I Am Someone, but he had no luck in running at all inside the final 200m and he ran much better than 9th of 11 suggests. That was over 1100m and going back up to 1200m is ideal for him. This is his 3rd run of the prep and he is 4/4 3rd up and granted more luck in running I think he can make it win number 10. Rich Charm @ 9/2 with William Hill Flemington R8 (7.05am) The main race on the card and it is very competitive. Heptagon has a big chance of gaining another win, but I have left him out in favour of 3 against the field. Plein Ciel is the other one at the head of the market and he dead heated with Shot Of Irish. I put him up that day as he was showing like he was returning to his best form having been under par for a bit. He looks set to peak here and he ought to go very close. Reykjavik won over course and distance in May and he looked good in beating Shot Of Of Irish. He was also in the Moonee Valley race mentioned above and he was 5th, but it was a total forget run as he had no cover and it was hard to come from behind that day. He's better than that and is overpriced. Moss 'N' Dale has a shocking 1st up record, but he ran a huge race 1st up a month ago over 1400m here. That bodes well for this run especially as he is 4/6 2nd up. This clearly has been a target and again he looks a big price. Plein Ciel @ 9/2 with Betfair Reykjavik @ 16/1 with Betway (4 places) Moss 'N' Dale @ 22/1 with Betway (4 places) Randwick R4 (4.20am) Mr Dependable had a poor draw last time and had to have plenty of use made of him to get across to the rail to make the running. He was caught late on which wasn't a surprise, but it was clearly a huge run. He is now 3rd up and has drawn nicely in 4. The slight doubt is the trip in the ground, but as long as his jockey gets the fraction right in front then I think he will see it out and will be hard to beat. Mr Dependable @ 7/5 with Bet365 Randwick R5 (4.55am) I was tempted by Lashes but she was disappointing last time and although there there was a bit of an excuse I still thought it was a poor run. I like the chances of Longbottom who has been really consistent this prep. Since coming to Sydney he has been 2nd, 3rd and 3rd. He deserves to win a race again and to me this looks a winnable contest. If he runs to form he should be in the finish over his best trip on ground he enjoys. Longbottom @ 6/1 with Betfair Randwick R7 (6.10am) Threeood was given a ride which saw James McDonald pick up a ban a couple of weeks, but I tought she didn't really get the run of the race. It was her first poor run this prep and clearly the stable are happy to have another go. Her form is strong prior to that and she can bounce back. I am having an e/w saver on High Low Bet whose form figures since a Warwick Farm win in March don't look great, but she actually ran the quickest last 600m of the race last time when finishing 7th. She didn't settle that day either so to quicken the way she did was promoising. McEvoy is back on again and she is up to winning this. Threeood @ 4/1 with William Hill High Low Bet e/w @ 14/1 with everyone Randwick R8 (6.50am) I am pretty keen on Handspun here. He got awful luck late on at Rosehill last time and was still 9th at the 400m marker. It took to around 250m for him to get a clear run and even then it wasn't the clearest. Only the winner had a better last 600m and last 200m than him and he is drawn a lot better today so hopefully he will settle a bit close to the pace and get a clear run. Handspun @ 100/30 with William Hill Randwick R9 (7.30am) Selection now a N/R

I visited Helen yesterday and she is happy and they are happy with her. She moved to a ‘normal’ ward yesterday and is likely to stay there all this week. I expect she will call in on PL sometime shortly, but she’s not doing the social media thing yet (for her, Facebook). Thank you for your get well messages and that is happening. Duncan.

Top 25 from last month qualify Top 8 go through to the KO Stages Good luck all

6:05 Doncaster My Dandy Doc, 34- Bet365

Some cracking jumping action at Warrnambool in the early hours of the morning with the first 6 races on the card over obstacles. Races 4 and 6 are the feature contests on the card and both look competitive. Not sure it will be a full house like at Casterton last week, but I will give it a go. Race 1 (2.35am) As has become the norm the maiden hurdle has divided. Da Deputy, Hoof Hustler and Little Phoenix all have claims, but I am taking a couple against the field. American In Paris has the best form for me. He had trialled well going into his hurdling debut at Ballarat last month and the winner was given a very good ride from the front (somewhat similar to the Derby this afternoon) and he wasn't able to make the ground up in testing conditions. Sadly we are down to 7 runners, but I am still going to put Yulong Emperor up e/w as he is over priced at double figure odds. His last two runs have been in stronger contests than this. He was 2nd to Hokkaido Miss and then 4th to Ventura Storm with Stanley in 2nd who won last week. He shouldn't be double figures to land this. American In Paris @ 13/8 with Betfred Yulong Emperor e/w @ 12/1 with Betfred Race 2 (3.15am) From the same race I have just mentioned Hierarchical was 3rd and I am really keen on him to win this. In his last 3 hurdle starts he has finished 2nd twice and then that 3rd last time. All 3 pieces of form are strong and this looks the perfect race for him to finally lose the maiden tag over hurdles. He has the beating of the other previous hurdle runners and those who are making their debuts are going to have to be pretty good to beat him. Hierarchical @ 15/8 with Betfred Race 3 (3.55am) Good race this. Britannicus got a deserved win last week, but I don't think he wants a Heavy 10 so he is crossed off the shortlist. Bee Tee Junior is the unknown having only run twice over hurdles in New Zealand. He's been racing on the flat to get him fit, but this is a hot race. Stanley got a deserved win last week and is clearly progressive, but he has 5L to make up on San Remo and I am not sure he can. Longclaw was a good 2nd last time to a good horse over course and distance last time on this ground. He is the last one I struck off my shortlist. The two I am going with are Hokkaido Miss and San Remo. I was really impressed with the former last time and as mentioned above she beat Yulong Emperor by 12L. That was a top hurdles debut. On the same card San Remo beat Hierarchical and had Stanley back in 3rd again very good form. Since then he has run as well as could be expected in a strong race at Flemington to keep him ticking over. He looks a big price in my view. Hokkaido Miss @ 23/10 with Bet365 San Remo @ 13/2 with Betfred Race 4 (4.35am) It's a shame we have a few non-runners in the Kevin Lafferty because it looked a really strong race. It's still a good contest, but I think it is between the top two in the market. Killarney Kid won this race impressively last year off 129 and he's only gone up to 133. He's had two decent runs on the flat at Flemington and plenty of hurdle trials to get him fit, but I just wonder if a lack of match practice jumping in a race puts things in Gobstopper's favour. He's been superb this prep and has already won 2 big hurdle races. Obviously he is going up in the weights, but the fact he was a good 2nd on the flat last time proves he is still in flying form and i take him to win another major prize. Gobstopper @ 11/8 with Betfred Race 5 (5.15am) Flying Agent should have beaten Michelin last time, but even so that was still a top effort and I just can't see him losing this. He has the beating of his main rivals here on that form. He's deservedly odds on so I am not going to put him up although the 5/6 on offer is tempting I must admit. I would be surprised if he doesn't win. Race 6 (5.55am) The Thackeray is the big chase on the card and the market has Bit Of A Lad, Georgethefifth and Michelin very close together although none of them will be the pick. Georgethefifth clearly loves it over course and distance and he has done it very easily on both times he has been here, but they were weak races and this is a very different test, but he is respected for sure. Michelin is the up and comer although as I mention above I thought he just got first run when beating Flying Agent last time and I think Flying Agent would reverse form should they run against each other again. Bit Of A Lad landed the Australian Steeple last time and beat Shamal by 8L. Stritctly speaking Shamal isn't weighted to reverse form, but I think he can and I am amazed Shamal is such a big price. He won for us last week and although he only just got up he was carrying a big weight and it was a good performance. Obviously he is carrying a big weight again in a stronger race, but I think he will come on for it and I would imagine backing up in this was always the plan. He looked in need of the race when 2nd at Sandown as I thought he travelled like the winner and now he is 3rd up I think he can reverse form. The ground won't be an issue and he shouldn't be as big as 6/1. Shamal @ 6/1 with everyone bar Bet365

Well done all prize winners, another good tipping month plenty of big priced winners. 👍👍👍

Great post Torque. When Bremen scored their goal in injury time I thought that was it. Extra time seems to be getting longer and longer and sometimes it works in your favour but not this time. Funnily enough this doesn't come in my top ten of bizarre finishes over the years. I should write a book on my bets over the last fifty plus years but nobody would believe some of them. You should be into sports journalism Torque, even I found your write-up exciting until I realised I had lost the bet.

I guess a 3 shot lead going into the final round wasn't enough for Wolff who kinda bottled it. Would have been a 125/1 winner but the 25/1 placing atleast covers the weeks bets 2020 golf bets +135.79pts.

@Danshot For years there have been heated debates about the pros and cons of Late Reg and it's relationship to ICM, +EV and guarantees, internet poker forums are awash with them... but when applied to the PL League, where cumulative weekly points make prizes in a relatively small field, most of those arguments remain redundant. Is it actually right and proper that it's now possible for a player to late reg for a PL tourney after 39 minutes with 30 BB, especially when four or five players have already busted ? Last night the Late Regger was guaranteed a higher minimum point score... and joined the tourney after more than a third of the field had already been eliminated. For years, the ten minutes Late Reg has been a simple courtesy for those who might arrive home late from work. We all began the tourney at more or less the same point and on the same footing. It was not something to be exploited, which is probably why the OP includes the caveat, "Late registration is fixed by PokerStars but we would appreciate it if players would register within 15 minutes. Persistent offenders may be excluded from the Home Games Club." Why is it so difficult to comply with such a simple request ?

Closing thisdown due to work commitments .....as you can see it's a bit of a rollercoaster.....I definitely think value bets are the way but not with this selection process .....the big priced 20/1 25/1 are probably once or twice a month that propel you forward but youd have to put on hundreds of bets for a relatively small profit .....an enjoyable experiment though and still about 70pts in profit but work have upped my hours so literally only 1 day off for next few weeks so no time to trawl through possibles

Julia Middendorf to beat Lisa Matviyenko @ 1.30 with Betfair a lot of rain in hannover delayed this match to thursday morning. two weeks ago 17yo middendorf won her group (3-0) with wins over heisen, steur and the well-known friedsam before falling short to gerlach in the final for #1 spot in versmold. however she qualified for the intermediate stage and found herself in a very strong group with korpatsch, zaja and long shot matviyenko. after a close 5-7, 5-7 opening loss to zaja, who had top seed siegemund in a deciding set in the final for #1 spot in stuttgart, she will face the weakest player of the group. matviyenko is the successor for the injured lys and shouldn't be here in the first place. two weeks ago in stuttgart she finished forelast (1-2) with only beating the 16yo müller. back then she also played vs zaja and got schooled 1-6, 1-6. in hannover she lost her opening match vs korpatsch 1-6, 2-6. from the performance levels i've seen so far middendorf should be all over her.

A few interesting facts about tonight's tourney : i) There were 12 players and it lasted 2 hours and 6 minutes, although the HU was prolonged when Barry rivered quad aces ii) If you sit out from the very beginning, with this structure it takes just 43 minutes to blind out - although you *were* six-handed for most of it Helen. iii) We had two delayed reggers, one after 20 minutes, the other after 45 minutes (and four had already busted out) iv) Both delayed reggers made the top three, the cash and the big points... maybe that's just a coincidence ?

For about the 4th time in June I have been denied my full Trixie. Let down by the favourite in a class 5 race this time. It did drift in the betting a bit before the off which worried me. Anyway, the double paid £17.81 which means a net profit of £13.81. Balance C/fwd on multiples = £665.04 (Bank £800) Three winners in the singles, nice to get Qaaddim at 16/1, the profit here was £23.90 less £7.50 outlay = £16.40. Balance C/Fwd = £375.63 (Bank £400)
