AFL

So... There we have it.

West Coast has now surged into equal favouritism for the AFL Premiership @ around $3.00.

For many weeks now the team at Sports Australia have been advertising the same quote of West Coast just making the Grand Final!

Lets not be under any illusions here, they ARE by far and away THE team to beat come that last Saturday in September.

The interest is now on positions 3-8 on the Premiership Ladder. Should Geelong defeat St Kilda this week then several teams currently inside the top eight will be looking of their shoulders.

The Cats run home is fairly good - St Kilda, Melbourne, Sydney and Hawthorn - with two games at Skilled Stadium and the other two at the Telstra Dome. All games ahead for them are winnable with the crucial game being this week against the Saints.

This week I have pondered on the Final 8 and tried to forecast the key games ahead in the coming weeks.

Prediction:

Take Essendon points in on the handicap against the Pies, on the proviso that we get at least +28.5 points start @ $1.90.

Also fancy the Kangaroos on the line betting of at least +46 points start @ $1.90

Eagles will win but won't be as comfortable as many would predict.

Sydney are morals this week against a Demons outfit going nowhere fast. Take whatever price you can get shop around @ $1.80 or better.

RACING

One bet this week and one bet only.

Randwick
San Domenico Stakes - 3:10pm (AEST)
