Today’s rundown – NRL Broncos-St George Ill, Rugby Australia-NZ, AFL Lions-Demons, Racing (Caulfield) Bletchingly Stakes

 

NRL

The Broncos and Wayne Bennett’s Dragons at Suncorp will be a bell ringer. The visitors like playing at the ground having beaten Brisbane in five of their past six visits. The one point loss to the Titans will steel the Dragons and they will lift for a game that their coach loves to win. Brisbane’s defence was made look ordinary at times by the Roosters and the Dragons will make life just as difficult. The loss of Ben Te’o to injury is a blow for Brisbane. Verdict…St George-Illawarra Dragons 13+

 

AFL

The Lions were outclassed last week by the Cats while the Dees had a confidence boosting 73 point win over the Swans. The Gabba offers the struggling Lions a glimmer of hope but on form it’s difficult to go past Melbourne. Verdict – Melbourne by 1-39 points

 

HORSE RACING

(Caulfield race 6) – Trifecta jackpot race. Carryover pool $174,056. Looks a race in three or maybe a race in one if AJC Derby winner Shoot Out runs to his very best he wins. Is partial to the fire out of the ground which he gets here and will be well ridden by top Queensland hoop Stathi Katsidis. Another handy sprinting 3YO Tollesprit is the hardest to beat. Races well fresh and is drawn to get all favours. Velocitea is an honest mare who loves Caulfield and sprints well when her races are spaced. If there is to be a blow out it could well be the toppy Mr Baritone. Tips – Shoot Out (dead to heavy), Tollesprit, Velocitea, Mr Baritone.
