This is the melon of New Zealand correspondent Neil Davis who urged readers to be with Magic Cape in the New Zealand Guineas last Saturday if it rained. It rained and they came to the outside fence with the horse winning at $24.30 on Unitab. What expert has agreed to do a Miracle Mile preview that will go up on site tomorrow?

Anyone who doubted Justracing is Australia’s top website to visit for a free tip would be converted after last Saturday’s races were run.

New Zealand correspondent Neil Davis from www.formpro.co.nz suggested in Friday night’s preview of his country’s racing that Magic Note would be the winner of the Group 1 New Zealand Guineas over 1600 metres if it happened to rain. Sure enough, the jockeys all started scouting wide – to the outside fence in fact – earlier in the day at Riccarton, so much so that the owners of short priced favourite Jokers Wild were considering scratching. Come post time, they let their horse run and Jokers Wild got run down near the line by Neil’s tip Magic Note, which paid over $20 for a win for $1 on all Australian TAB’s ($24.30 on Unitab for a $1 win bet) which was way over his New Zealand TAB win dividend of $14. Neil struck later paydirt later in the day at Sandown when his suggested bet, visiting New Zealand mare Hasta La Ciao Ciao, bolted in with the last race paying only $5 for a win on Unitab, yet starting $6 with bookies, for jockey Greg Childs and Cambridge, New Zealand, trainer Roger James. On the subject of Roger James, he is a very astute man with a horse and you would wonder why he couldn’t get enough support to stay in Australia. We steal New Zealand’s best horses and then when we get offered one of their best trainers, we send him home. That just proves that there are a lot of Australian owners out there, who wouldn’t know class if it jumped out and bit them.

Over in Western Australia, correspondent Gunther Robl from www.lotgunracing.com was also on fire naming Vain Crusader as one of only two winning hopes in their feature the Group 2 WA Guineas. He also suggested exotics players needed to “include the fillies” and Translate – one of only two fillies in the race ran 3^rd at $13 and the trifecta of Vain Crusader (1^st), roughie Real Cheeky (2^nd) and Translate (3^rd) paid $816 for $1 on Unitab. Gunther also put up on his preview that he would have Saturday’s best bet up on his own site Saturday morning. He put up Tesbury Jack at Sandown as the best bet Australia wide and that galloper never looked in danger – paying $5.80 for a $1 win on Unitab and starting at $6 with bookies.

Personally I had an ordinary day tipping last Saturday - a shocker in fact, so I let the team down - but the previous Saturday I had advised Sectional Times clients that a form reversal from Five O’Clock Shadow was on the cards at big odds after its first up Melbourne run. I noted to clients that I thought he needed blinkers, but his trainer Nerissa Cowell decided the headgear change he needed was to put pacifiers on him and he duly arrived at $22 at Flemington on November 11 with that gear change. The exact wording off the Sectional Times report from Moonee Valley of 28/10/06 when nearly everyone else except me thought he was disappointing, read (the first comments are statements made on the individual horse and the second paragraph are from the overall race summary):-

$11-$18. Overraced early. Lost 1.5 lengths at the 600 when seemed to spit the bit out. Hit hard 11 times. Swabbed. He could be a blinkers horse, but it would be touch and go whether he would fire up in them.

The Queenslander, Fiveoclockshadow, may improve within two runs on this effort. He over-raced early then seemed to spit the bit out and lose interest at the 600. He blew like Cyclone Tracey in the market, looked poorly weighted, but ran on okay near the fence in the last 50. He may improve on a bigger track. He’s a Brisbane Listed winner in slow time, so maybe he’s not much good, but I wouldn’t pot him just yet. He could improve within two starts at big odds.

Watch this website tomorrow, when another expert – this time a harness racing expert - will do a Miracle Mile preview exclusively for Justracing.
