Great ride by Kingscote. Didnt get the easiest passage but was patient and waited for the gap rather than forcing it. Could well follow up next time. Didnt realise went of 4s.... was 8s when i put it up.
Scores after the 4th race but I can tell you the don leads after landing his NAP in Gin Twist to go with two 3rds. Stalking him 5 points behind is Harbottle who has landed 2 winners and a 3rd. Halpins follows a futher 5 behind despite joing late after getting off the mark with his NAP Gin Twist. These 3 have pulled clear but plenty of races, and NAPS, to play. Still 7 yet to get off the mark
This is the first, and only time i will ever lead a tipping comp. I have another 13 1/2 mins to enjoy it before collapsing!!

That table has to be upside down, FinalDrive surely should be top and GDC should be right up their too. My position is a bit high at the minute too.
I agree!! I've got some point for a 2nd there, great battling finish. I'm playing my big cards now though, 3 from 3 finish here
The Don continues to lead from the front as he attempts to make all. Halpins and Harbottle are stalking in behind, the latter hoping for a huge turn of foot with a NAP in the last. Debutant Elvis has made an eyecatching move on the outside and is into fourth whilst being closely followed by the experienced Sir Barney who looks a very proper competitior. His connections in the stands wave the infamous 'no bet banner' as they cheer their trusty steed home. Quel runs alone in 6th and then the pack are nicely bunched but along way behind at this stage. Prominent in this group are Stick and WoolcombeF who were detached out the back but have made a flashy move with back to back winners and both are hoping to kick on from here. GDC is alledegdly better over fences whilst Grizzly is also not known as an AW specialist. Also in the pack is the only filly in the field, Epona who got off to a flying start out of the stalls but has subsequently retreated. Further back we have the thunder from down under and Cup specialist Cyclonic but spare a thought for connections of Brickyard who was drawn in his favoured stall one and liked the starting gate so much he's still there. 3 furlongs to go and all to play for.
Another winner.... god i wish i had backed all of these in a nice multiple.... only had money on Gin Twist albeit a decent sum....
SBC napped Spartilla who won at 7/4. The ever alert stewards have stepped in and his NAP will now be transferred to his next selection.
