Haydn Lane this week's guest tipster

IASbet public relations manager Haydn Lane might be best known for having his finger on the pulse in AFL circles.

And he's certainly promised to share some winners with aussiepunt readers when next season rolls around.

Haydn's also a pretty handy cricketer, having spent a season batting and tweaking off-spinners at Middlesex, and another as Boston Cricket Club's overseas pro in the Lincolnshire Premier League. Locally, he plays for Melbourne CC and has trained with the Victorian squad.

But that's all behind us. What is more to the point is that we happen to know Haydn has some pretty good connections with the nags. He's owned a few and will no doubt be seen burrowing around Caulfield tomorrow.

He knows he's under immense pressure this week, following in the footsteps of three Friday guest tipsters who've each put us in the black.

"I'll have to do some digging then," he said, perhaps a little nervously. And dig he did, hassling a few of the racing gurus in the betting pit.

Here's Haydn's three picks for the weekend:

Caulfield, Race 4: Number 2, Shamoline Warrior (currently paying $3.60).

Caulfield, Race 9: Number 4, First Command (currently paying $3.40).
Haydn says he's very keen on this one.

Australian Moto GP: Jorge Lorenzo (currently at $3)
Haydn says to back Lorenzo straight out as he's been in super form. That advice comes despite Casey Stoner's return from injury.

As always, we'll be riding with our guest tipster with 10% of our bankroll (now at $260) on each of Haydn's selections. At those odds, we'll be taking the horses to cross the line first.

If you're looking for an each way punt on the Caulfield Cup, Haydn suggests Viewed each way at $14 is worth a shot, and Master O'Reilly to run a big race from a wide barrier.
