PWJ Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 ROUND 5 - Saturday February 10 It is top quality races, top jocks and top trainers all the way on Saturday with a Premier card at Te Rapa and a stakes studded program at Caulfield in Melbourne. The Waikato card for us features 3 staying contests while every race at Caulfield is a sprint of one sort or another. You will need to be a versatile 🐊crocodile to snap up the big bucks ! Clash of the day sees the in-form Showtime cast take on the heavy hitters of the Styx franchise fresh from snatching victory from the jaws of defeat over The Coven last week. The big guns for each side Gordy and Paul (Harewood) face off in a terrific personal battle. The Cat-girls of Magic go hunting Seagulls this week , each looking to bounce back from losses last week and again the top two scorers - former Naki team-mates Heather and Maurice - meet in a vital HTH. Another pair of top aggregate scorers - Black Caviar and Midnight Caller - do battle as the highlight of the Kaos vs Old Mate encounter. Both sides are in winning form and this looks closer than the table may suggest. Finally, we have the train-wreck encounter of two sides with one victory between them in 8 matches: the chaotic Max Factory crew take on the rotten Reapers. I expect plenty of trash talk, some close encounters and a thrashing or two, but at the end of the day ONE of these teams HAS to come out a winner ! Just who will it be ??? My money is on the Factory but with the form I am in picking winners at present, the Reapers might be grinning 🤣 After just 4 Rounds everyone has suffered at least one personal defeat, an indication of the closeness of tipping skills on here but Barb and Graeme are looking to get the winless monkey off their back so look out Hesi and Pam !

The cunning Maxi Plan is to win a few points this weekend and rip into the Triple Joker the following week...unbelievably, we cant play it this weekend against the Reapers. By the end of Round 7, reckon we'll be in the top three. MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
