Summer - Autumn Super Draft Comp - Round 15 - Sat Apr 22 - entries here please

[PWJ]

ROUND 15 - Sat Apr 22

A diverse card awaits everyone in Round 15 encompassing 4 tracks incl. Morphettville where PJ couldn't resist the nomenclature of #1 in the first. 😉

Christchurch's forecast for Friday looks wet so we go only once and early at Riccarton. Some competitive races at Pukekohe are strung together before crossing the ditch to take on some pretty even fields on what should be a drying Hawkesbury track. The final race, coming from Adelaide, looks very even - choose wisely.

Some might argue this comp has now come down to just 4 teams who can win it however the Union Jacks want a word and will look to state their case taking on the high-flying Kelly's Heroes this week. The Believers keep on believin' and perhaps they may fancy a lash at The Dream team with a Triple Joker come Saturday - sheesh ! Likewise the Desperados may fancy themselves to play a Regular Joker against the Ramones in their clash. The Coyotes are asking themselves what is the risk in playing their Double Joker against bottom-dwellers Max Factory on Saturday. You know ANY of those five Factory staff can fire up big-time at will. Is it worth the risk ?? Finally the Reapers, needing to get their season back on course, face no easy task working out a couple of opponents to take on for their Bye challenge. Will it be an option out of left field.
