Bets of the week ringaround - 18th February 2016

The tipsters had another big weekend last week, racking up ten winners and six placegetters and once again it was our southern tipsters leading the way with three winners and two placegetters from just six selections.

At the other end of the scale came our northern selectors who are struggling at the moment to get one to run in the money.

Some nice dividends were on offer with honours going to Clark Barron ($5:10) ahead of Blair Orange ($4:00) and Terry Chmiel ($3:50) while others to tip out winners included Mark Jones, Shane Walkinshaw, Kyle Marshall, Peter Scaife, Sean McCaffrey, Ricky May and Nathan Williamson.
