Well it all went to script for racing’s darling in the Winx Stakes, but some astute tipping was the biggest talking point in Round 1. VIA SISTINA ($3.45 BSP) waltzed into spring with a convincing win, from AELIANA ($2.64 place) and ARAPAHO ($6.20 place). The six tipsters who dumped their $100 on VIA SISTINA would’ve been ecstatic with the price (excluding Rodda), but there were two new kids on the block who battled it out for the win. Wells.t@live.com (sorry, I don’t have any other details) had $80 on VIA and $20 place on ARAPAHO to profit $300. However, the Betfair Baron had $70 place on ARAPAHO to profit $334 and take home victory and the $50 prize! Who is the Betfair Baron? And did he have inside knowledge of the pricing? Perhaps he will reveal himself in coming weeks.

Just a reminder that you need to enter $100 total when tipping. As old mate Gav found out the hard way – gonna be hard to win using just $50🤣
This week we are tipping just the one race again, The Memsie Stakes. Tips will open Wed night or Thurs morn.

Looks like everyone is over winter and eagerly awaiting the warming weather and the hay fever it brings with it!
