Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 In the Winter Cup- The Thunderbirds can take the lead with Miss Three Stars or Leeds while Lochan Ora will put the Warriors in front. Silhouette Noire and Taurus will aid the T-birds aggregate while Timy Tyler will do likewise for the Warriors. Platinum Command AND North and South will put the Heat ahead ! Silhouette Noire & Leeds will pull one back for the Heat. Farce will put the Sunnys 6-zip clear. Lochan Ora, Maybe Miami, Timy Tyler & Miss Three Stars will help the Sunliners aggregate. Could be the most crucial race of the match..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 In the next- Wouldn't It Be Nice will increase the T-birds' lead. The Warriors aggregate will benefit from Big Money & Mount Nebo while The T-birds will look to Tycoon Tara and Rebel Dane to do the same. Wouldn't It be Nice or Mount Nebo will pull one back for The Heat. Big Money will help the Heat's aggregate with Tycoon Tara doing the same for the Sunnys.

Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 In the next- Uthred will increase the T-birds lead. Quick Feet, Thronum & Mediterranean will help the Warriors aggregate (but they need more than that) Walk Right In & Lasqueti Spirit will pull one back for the Heat. Mediterranean & Thronum will help the Sunnys' aggregate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 In the next (as divvys currently show)- The Warriors can draw level with Tashbeeh. The Thunderbirds can increase their lead with Smart Volatility. Mighty Like and Magnus Reign will help the Warriors' aggregate. Dibayani & Sooboog will help the T-birds aggregate. The Heat can pull one back with Tashbeeh, Sooboog, Pheidon, Smart Volatility or Mighty Like (possibly draw level with the last-named if it pays at least $5.90). Magnus Reign or Ruettiger will help the Sunnys' aggregate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 To win..... The Warriors need Riziz to win for John and Pete with at least a nice quinella thrown in (either 1 & 2 or 2 & 11) In the Presidents Prelim- The Heat need Daytona Grey to win for Jack & Jen although if it pays $9.20 or more Craig will pull one back for the Sunnys. OR Riziz to win for Jack & Jen OR Gamblin' Guru to win for Sir C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John just edged T-birds MVP Moose for Man of the Match honours.

Richie, Cam and Sunnys' MVP Steve were the final scorers for the winners while the Heat signed off with collects from Match Star Sharne (a BB), Maria & Casper. Congrats to the Sunnys who meet the Panthers next Saturday and thanks to The Heat for a brave effort in the Winter Comp.
