A 50% strike rate from top rated runners across both meetings and +44.8% POT was the highlight of the day, but there was no shortage of other winners at good prices relative to the assessed price.

Both Sydney and Melbourne races are still somewhat complicated by plenty of first uppers starting their Spring campaigns, but we still managed to land 15 of the 18 winners in our top 3 rated horses.

It was a day for ‘market intelligence’ with so many first up runners presenting uncertainty. The evidence was in the results with firmers up to $10 in the market returning a POT of +52.9% on the day.

A little shy on top rated winners this week, but six 2nd raters won, making it 55.5% of winners in our top 2.
