PWJ Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 ROUND 4 - Saturday February 3 We start the day with 4 races from The Naki including a couple of black type contests before we trip across to the Parramatta swamp for two Group 3 races with small but tricky fields then back to NP for the last which looks fairly open. Then we head for Melbourne for a form-packed mares event and end the day back at Rosehill with a couple of restricted sprints with a ton of form. The last looks a doozy ! The big clash of the day sees once again the top two in the table do battle as Magic look to continue their great form against a Styx side that have to bounce back after their shock defeat in Round 3. Heather and Gordy - two of the top 3 competitors in the comp thus far - meet head on in what should be a cracker while Smiler looks to wipe the grin off that Cheshire Cat... Max Factory will need overtime and double-pay most likely if they look to disrupt the Showtime star act while The Seagulls will be looking to dive-bomb the Old Mate boys having fish and chips on the beach at Port Taranaki in what looks like an even affair despite the 5 points separating them on the table. They will all be cheering for one Pete or another in this one 😆 Lastly after 3 Rounds, Kaos and The Reapers have just 6 points between them - who would have predicted that at the start of the comp ?? Well okay, Kaos have all those 6 points ! The failure of the Reapers to glean even a single, solitary point so far is the elephant in the current Super Comp room - what the hell has happened there ? Will Kaos be in chaos as The Reapers look to bounce back with a vengeance or will Ray and crew deny the Reapers any reward ? Could be a train-wreck either way ! Just Maria, Heather, Black Caviar and Robert remain undefeated after a mere 3 rounds while only Barb, Graeme and Hesi are winless after three and hoping to change that this week.

Just went back through my picking comp diaries, and the first time I came up against Heather was 14.4.18 where she prevailed $146.00 to $123.00. Since then we have met another 5 times, the last being 23.10.21, and we are currently 3-3. No disrespect to the rest of Heathers teammates, but she is the one I really didn’t want to try and beat this Saturday. It will basically come down to my luck, or Heathers knowledge and skill.
