Just 4 in the quad

Narrowing the final race down to 4 horses, the two favourites in Pounamu and Socially Unique and then two for a bit of value coming from the same race in Next Contestant and Riki Tiki Tavi. Pounamu couldn't have been more impressive in his WA debut when crossing the boarder as a 13 start maiden which I'm sure put most off on face value. However, for those who looked a little deeper and had a bit more time on their hands would have noticed a second in the Group 3 Coca-Cola Stakes at Newcastle to Sweynesse followed by a third in the Group 3 Gloaming Stakes at Rosehill and even a relatively competitive 6.75 length defeat to Winx in the Pharlap. Those races boasted extremely strong form references for an Ascot mid-weeker and fixed flucs of $12 into $4.80 suggested that there were a fair few who found those stats as appealing as I did. Putting Pounamu on top again and the hardest to beat. Next Contestant is closing in on another win after a pair of fast finishing efforts. 1400m is his go and will be charging late. Riki Tiki Tavi is about 20-1 and probably not a winning chance but I'll include him as a blowout hope. Runs have been excellent and onces W.Pike jumps back into the saddle he will be winning. Socially Unique the other runner in my quaddie. PTT Quaddie Club: 2,3,4,5 / 1,3,6,9,13 / 1,4,7,10,13,14 / 3,6,9,11 - $100 = 20.8%

@thefalcon I know o then racing australia website they have the SP as $7.50 but everywhere else(sportsnet, unibet, betstar) it says $26-31. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened had it won.

Mitchell rode a treat yesterday and not just because I won either. His ride on Keysbrook showed plenty of initiative he knew that pike was bailed up when he went on the March. His ride on eurosun wasn't great but he was just stiff not to get 3 wide with cov...
