We’ve all selected bets for these races which is good ![]()
However remember you can add to or amend up to Saturday night.
What I’m not allowing is to get a better bet on something you’ve already picked.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.
