Good Morning, Friend

I've got two more Festival handicaps in focus below, with some stats/trends pointers - although as you'll see, not much to go on in The Grand Annual - all sorts of profiles have won that race.

Before that...

Registration for this Saturday's Scoop6 Squad is now open...

Last weekend, The Scoop6 Squad came painfully close to scooping a six-figure Jackpot with back-to-back winners in the first 5 races...

But alas, they just missed out on the last race. Painful. Great fun though.

With 5 out of 6 winners, shareholders made BIG Profits from their recommended “dutching” strategy…

They also won their Nap race for the 3rd week in a row… (which is great news, as it can pay for that week's share, and leave some profit left over)

And this Saturday, they're going for the perfect 6 / 6 and all they need is a very slightly better result this time round...

Don't forget, as always, entries close at 9pm this evening.
