All off to the glue factory. Which, let's face it, is probably their most useful function in life.

ffs. good luck everyone!

**Raoul Duke III** · 16-03-23, 19:51

Excellent performance by carlinrose today and he's there to be shot at. Watch out for ionapaul tomorrow though as he's certainly well past due in this competition and would be a popular winner. Eoghan104 and Raoul Duke III are still in there pitching but may have used up their energies on the first circuit. Former dual champignon The Situation was the day's standout performer and will be revved up for the final lap.
Of the rest, they're a fairly sorry bunch but the likes of Gimmeabreak and Lemon Lover could still play a hand in proceedings. The remainder are hoping for miracles...but they've happened before.
Good luck to all.

Lossiemouth hacks up at 11/8 and that's good news for our leader as he takes another small piece out of the pursuers.
