Canes $1200.00 v Turbos $175.00

These are the different selections. Turbos will need a couple of these to prevail to turn things around in their quest for 10pts. Quite possible, but if just one of these Canes’ selections triumphs, the Turbos job gets much tougher …

7. Ellerslie R5:        Canes #3 Justacanta v Turbos #1 Dawn Patrol  (both have #4 Cornflower Blue)

8. Ellerslie R7:       Canes #7/12 Spring Heat/Festivity  v  Turbos #8/13 Entriviere/Bavella

9. Ellerslie R8:      Canes #2 Needle and Thread v Turbos #Aquaoir 9 (both have #1 Amarelinha)

10. Ellerslie R9:    Canes #13 Tokorangi BB v #2 BB Turbos Montre Moi 2 BB (both have #1 Rocket Spade

so many scenarios, but only 4 races to do it in ...

El Tirador

my bad, Hesi ..well spotted.. r-r-rong names i Race 5!

R5 #1 Need I Say More (Turbos) and #3 El Tirador (Canes)are the nags involved

Tis a great comfort - though a touch ironic - that in their misquided attempt to topple the Kats with 'common selections', all the Hurricanes tipsters are now helping the Kats stave off the challenge of the Turbos. Thanks heaps.

I thought they already were 🤣

Mustelid Research reckons that to swing their match v Canes, the Turbos need to win with Bavella (appr $750 swing) to eat into the $1k deficit,  then Aquaoir (huge upset) or Montre Moi to get in frontSnaffling the Derby Q with Rocket Spade could also do the trick (about $400). 

The other possible results have relatively small 'swings'. Any win for the Canes alone (Need I Say More/Spring Heat/Festivity/Needle and Thread) before the Derby just makes it tougher for the Turbos.

Montre Moi is a big 'issue' for the KKs in the Derby. If it wins, Ian's BB could beat Graeme and defeat the Kats; but if Montre Moi wins and Lord Ardmore runs 2nd for Jen, her BBQ could overhaul Punter Pete!

Given some of the outrageous results yesterday, this will be a wild ride today.
Strap yerselves in, Kitties!

Turbos could earn 10 points with Aquaoir alone. 

Canes haven't picked Need I Say More, Max.  You're getting yourself all befuddled trying to think about more than 3 or 4 combinations of possible outcomes.  Just sit back and relax - you've got this in the bag!

 

LOL. no, they've picked #1 Need I Say More in R5 not #1 Dawn Patrol in R7. Max has a few bob each way on DP as explained above! In any case R5 very unlikely to affect the result significantly. The outcome of Graeme v Ian is crucial. Can the 'Old Tom' keep his snout in front and his whiskers clean at the same time? If he can, the Canes/Turbos result is immaterial.

Just saw a $45-1 longshot triumph in an early Ellerslie race.
Could be a sign of what's coming in the Comp races later in the afternoon. 🙂
Interesting about the race I just saw was the country's leading jockey Lisa Allpress and a 3kg-claiming apprentice going hammer-and-tongs up-front for the greater part of the staying journey. Predictably both faded right of proceedings in the home straight. Lisa's mount was the favourite.

Steelers look a shots-eye to go 5-0 up ...briefly ! 🙂
Richie and me both have 'Need I Say More' and 'Cornflower Blue' ... but Richie has as his BB race.
We have 5 the same of our last 8 runners in this comp.
Will be a close match to the end.

REMINDER

The draft for the new comp is Tuesday March 9 at 8.00pm (NZ time), 6.00pm (Oz time- AEST). Draft thread will go up tomorrow.

The name for the draft team that I will Captain, is :-

... but tomorrow we turn the page to a new world ...the autumn competition.


I'm quietly confident. 🙂
I do my best work in autumn.
