NPC SPRING SUPER COMP SEMI-FINALS - Tues Nov 7

This is it, no Jokers, no accumulating points or higher aggregates. It's win or lose, do or die. Just 4 teams will win and 4 will lose and all on an excitement-packed day.

You will need to be a Champion team to pick your way through this lot. We kick off at Pukekohe with a small field two-divvy 3yo contest - with nevertheless many chances and quinellas will be important. A rare 2400m restricted event follows and then a true test of tipping talent with huge maiden field with a myriad of chances. Plenty of form in the next also - a R65 pure sprint and then the day's WFA feature where all 8 acceptors have winning credentials.

Then it's off to Sydney for the $3m Big Dance where 20 will face the starter promising some terrific prices on offer for in-form horses. The "Cup" follows and we know just about anything can play out here. Will it be the internationals or the locals ?? Back to Sydney for another couple of "Dances" which look wide open . The it's back to Flemington for the decider where we currently have a $5 favourite so more opportunity to come with a big late run to win your match. Should be a ripper day. Good luck everyone...

 

Remember you must have at least 6 different picks (of 20) for those who post after their opponent

Us Highlanders have missed out on the 'Big Dance' after finishing well, but too late, in the prelims.
Hoping we can take out the 'Little Dance' as some consolation.
With that in mind, ole '33of36' is hoping he's found one or two here to aid the Highlanders' cause ! 😔

Good luck, Graeme. 🙂

Many thanks for another fine comp, PJ.
The best of luck to you PJ, to 'Lastof40' and to all your Ferdies in the 'Big Dance'.

Now listen here, LB, any Fox Trotting to be done will be done by The Foxy One his-self. Smooth as silk, he is.

The silky Graeme was trying to be educated by the Dancing Dynamo Maria , to FoxTrot to Ballroom glory Maxi , but he short-stepped too much and it all ended in the Ballroom as a more Pure Steely determined competitor, just like Sophie Ellis-Bextor herself, was murderer of the dance floor...
