The Totopoly Kid I have come to punting very late in life - in retirement, in fact. But I was not new to racing when I did, for as a boy my favourite board-game was Totopoly and, in Australia at the time, I was taken a few times to magical Randwick, the Sydney racetrack.

"Might be a good day," I'd hoped. Famous last words.
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
6 in my short list, all Row 3. [2W1PL3L] My stats are best on MANHATTAN BOY/LOST but the rest do not fully encourage. Accordingly, I've committed most on Manhattan Boy (with trepidation) and, except for a main tip, if any, relatively little is chanced elsewhere. I might still have overdone it in aggregate, though. Yes
The general strength of the stats I would say is only Medium. In which case, why are they short-listed? However, some of the qualifiers have been Napped by my favoured tipsters from the Naps Table, often a good sign. Only 1 won The day could go either way.
OUTCOME: Bad, but it could all have been a lot, lot, worse     BASIC PLAN -65 (within OVERALL -105)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
