Well done Scoobie, you put a lot in to these fine comps and great to see you get a good result today, And well done of course to your team-mates Camacho and Bazza ! A trio comp was a great idea Maria ….it's good to follow the results of our team-mates race by race, so even if our own selections miss we can bask in the success of a team-mate.

Close but no cigar ! 2nd......when paying 8s. Went up to win at the 150m mark when seeing off the odds-on favourite …..but succumbed late to one flashing down the outside at 25-1. Many thanks for the opportunity, Leigh. A lot of fun. Cheers.

A very hearty well done to comps legend PJ and his partner Kloppite - held their nerve to get in the decisive stride today. Congratulations on a very well-deserved win you two. Thanks to my well-performed team-mate partner Cubes for his excellent tipping today to get our team up for 2nd. We made for a good team Cubes, and went very close. Outstanding performance again from Maria today, an absolute hero at administering these comps. Maria's speed, accuracy, and commentary makes for a mix that is simply breath-taking. Thank you to the sponsor/(s). With Cubes having won a comp last week, and 2nd this week, is obviously in top form and I'm happy for Cubes to invest our $50 prize and am also happy for any winnings from the investment to go to a charity of the sponsor/(s) choice, as Cubes indicated he was happy to do with his prize last week. Team comps are great. Well done all involved, including our fellow-entrants of course. Cheers all. Korio
