Morphettville Preview 1-Aug-18
Track – Currently Rated Soft 7 Rail – Out 8m 1200m – WP, 3m Remainder. Race 1: Sabois Maiden Plate 1050m J’adore is on debut here, trialled well behind the smart Gytrash and gapped the rest of them, should be able to settle up towards the speed in what looks a suitable race for her on debut. Brimarvi Vehero has had a decent start to his career, ran into the smart Domination last start, finds a...
The Week in Review: 23 - 29 July 2018
BlackBook Bets Week: 4.5 units profit (20.0% PoT) Overall: 295.1 units profit (8.0% PoT) The good times kept rolling for BlackBook members this week, with Lachlan’s positive streak continuing. We had an absolute cracker of a weekend with winners Husson Eagle (Mildura, Friday), Snitzepeg (Caulfield, Saturday), Tourniquet (Pakenham, Sunday) and Antigone (Sunshine Coast, Sunday). A few more places...
Morphettville Preview 28-Jul-18
Track – Currently Rated Soft 7 Rail – Out 5m 1200m to WP, 3m Remainder. Race 1: Sabois 2YO BM 64 Handicap 1050m Lake District Girl is a speedy type who did enough in her first prep contesting some strong 2YO races, finds a suitable race here resuming, leads and should prove hard to catch. Invincible Fille was a good winner on debut, must step up here again but commands respect. Gytrash looks a...
The Week in Review: 16 - 22 July 2018
BlackBook Bets Week: 2.7 units profit (26.8% PoT) Overall: 290.6 units profit (8.0% PoT) A relatively quiet week by Lachlan’s busy standards, backing just the ten horses. We only snagged the one winner – Naantali (Flemington, Saturday) – but a clutch of seconds and thirds ensured a profit anyway thanks to Lachlan’s fantastic staking method. Backing one winner in ten but still producing over 25%...
Morphettville Parks Preview 21-Jul-18
Track – Currently Rated Soft 5 Rail – Out 9m 1000 – WP, 6m Remainder Race 1: Sabois + Benchmark 82 Handicap 2400m Thunder Cloud is flying, steps up to the 2400m for the first time which looks no concern, will go back from the barrier and should be hard to hold out late. Mongolian Wolf is going well enough, proven over the distance and gets a soft run in transit. The Willybe is proven over the...

Following our Friday Free Tips is pretty simple - we just recommend betting to collect five units, or to collect 2.5 win / 2.5 place for each-way pick. But of course, some keen followers get a little bit more creative. We recently heard from one smart punters who collected $10,000 in the space of three weeks, purely from the Friday Free Tips! We'll let him pick up the story... I’ve been a...
Balaklava Preview 18-Jul-18
Track – Currently Rated Good 3 Rail – Out 3m Race 3: Henson Lloyd Accountants Maiden 1200m Our Benevento did a good job last start when caught wide on speed and battling on strongly before going down narrowly, steps up to the 1200m here and looks to find a winnable race, will settle on speed, and should give them something to catch. Foie Gras was only plain first up at Gawler, didn’t end up in...
The Week in Review: 8 - 15 July 2018
BlackBook Bets Week: 13.3 units profit (84.3% PoT) Overall: 287.9 units profit (7.9% PoT) Lachlan is on fire at the moment and this week proved no different, as we backed 16 horses for four winners and five placings. In Lachlan’s usual style, our winners came at good odds and from all corners of the country: Biddley (Mildura, Monday) at $8.50 / $2.80, Romney’s Choice (Grafton, Thursday) at $6.50...
Morphettville Preview 14-Jul-18
Track – Currently Rated Soft 6 Rail – +3m Race 1: Grand National Steeple 3500m Steeple race to kick off the day, no betting interest. Race 2: Sabois 2YO Handicap 1050m La Pomme de Pin is a very speedy type who showed promise in her first prep, resumes here and has won a trial leading up to this, will lead and give a great sight. Thorondor has been good in both his career runs to date, maps to get...

We also scored with Marseille En Fleur (Sunshine Coast, Sunday) at $4 20 and $1.65, and had a few...
