Shumpty’s Punt: Cox Plate Day

Mooney Valley has never been a happy hunting ground for me but am jumping into the form for this Cox Plate Day with renewed vigour off the back of the best weekend I have had on the punt in a while last weekend and Buffering’s win last night.

Here are my tips for today’s racing at “the Valley”:

Race 1: Good Prince (Number 1)
Race 2: Vatican (Number 1)
Race 3: Henwood (Number 5)
Race 4: Bel Thor (Number 11)
Race 5: Savvy Nature (Number 1)
Race 6: Thermal Current (Number 4)
Race 7: Mourinho (Number 6)
Race 8: Toydini (Number 8)
Race 9: Lake Sententia (Number 2)
Cox Plate (Race 10): Long John (Number 14)

Good luck and good punting all. As always: please gamble responsibly!

Shumpty’s Punt: Manikato Stakes Night

It is a massive night of racing tonight from Mooney Valley. Here are my tips for this Friday night at the races:

Race 1: Tanah Lot (Number 6)
Race 2: Dance for Cash (Number 5)
Race 3: Federica (Number 3) (Best Roughie) (each way)
Race 4: Holy Cow (Number 13)
Race 5: Rifleman (Number 8)
Race 6: Queenstown (Number 4) (Best Bet)
Race 7: Lord Durante (Number 2)
Race 8: Buffering (Number 2)

This is a great lead in meeting to the Cox Plate tomorrow. As always: please gamble responsibly!

Shumpty’s Punt: Geelong Cup

It would be fair to say that the Geelong Cup this year is short on quality runners.

The obvious tip is the favourite Forgotten Voice. My money though will be on the Bryce Stanaway gelding Crafty Cruiser. He is stepping up in grade here but has excellent form over the distance having run a close 4th in the Listed Bart Cummings two and half weeks ago behind, among others Sea Moon. That form line makes me think the $9 fixed price about him on sportingbet.com.au is a bit of overs.

As always, please gamble responsibly.
