PWJ Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 ROUND 8 - Saturday March 5 Only the Desperados have the opportunity to play a Triple Joker this week and they most likely will, in a match which sees a headline clash between Magnificent Seven highflyers (and Serendipitous Six tinpots) Howie and Rex. Should be a beauty ! The Dream Team plus The Reapers and Believers (this pair meeting head-to-head in a classic top v bottom shootout) each have a regular Joker to spend this week or next. Who will be flashing the J card ?? Only Richie remains unbeaten after 6 matches but he faces the unpredictable Pam so anything could happen.... Meanwhile Sharne and Smiler are - incredibly - winless after 6 matches but their opponents Antz and Ian are formidable rivals so what chance the duck is broken this week ?? Jack - on his home track at Te Rapa - will need to choose wisely for his side's opponents in the Union Jacks bye round. Lastly Gary is away overseas so super-sub Jamison gets off his furry backside and seeks to become a valuable member of the Kelly's Heroes crew. He's crowing that his Dad went down to Ray - who had the lowest winning score last week - in the previous round so he doesn't have to do much better to show up the old man 😹 Some big, big races this week with 3 x 3yo Gr1s and as so often happens, a Final comp race which features So Si Bon and looks a bit tricky !
