Tara leaps ahead
With only two meetings until season’s end we’re starting to see the shape of the ladder at trophy time – just look at the graph. The three front runners are well above the bunched up rest of the pack – “the rest” are squished together inside a 50-point band centred around 210 points which is 360 points behind the leader. Tara‘s almost flat score line over the previous three months allowed Rob to catch up to within 20 points, but tonight that changed with Rob’s WHP and Tara’s double helping of points, and then Genelle‘s 100 point win in Word Power pushing her into 2nd spot, but only by a margin of 10 points. The only other change of positions is where Louise overtakes Steve, but there’s only 5 points between them. So it’s starting to look like Tara for champion with Genelle and Rob fighting it out for 2nd and 3rd spot. The other WHP was El Presidente who is currently in Wooden Spoon territory, but that could change a couple of times within the closely spaced bottom of the pack between now and trophy presentation time. Nicole is the best of “the rest”, but not by much. Steve was a no-show due to late work attendance.
