Western Storm 140 for 2 (Taylor 78*) beat Southern Vipers 137 for 3 (Bates 57*) by eight wicketsScorecard International captains Stafanie Taylor and Heather Knight moved Western Storm a significant step closer to Finals Day in the Kia Super League at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton. Shoes From China Wholesale . Chasing 138 to win, the pair added 65 for the second wicket as the Storm won by eight wickets with 13 balls to spare.West Indies allrounder Taylor was once again the player of the match, with an unbeaten 78 off 51 balls. It is now three wins in four matches for these two sides, who qualified for the inaugural Finals Day on August 21 after Lancashire Thunders defeat to Yorkshire Diamonds later in the day.Batting first, the Vipers, who came into the game on the back of three successive victories, made a decent start courtesy of former England captain Charlotte Edwards and New Zealand skipper Suzie Bates. Each was dropped, on on 7 and 8 respectively, but they took advantage of some slipshod fielding from a Storm side led by England captain Knight.The pair reached 50 in the ninth over and carried on regardless as the Storm struggled to find an answer. It took Bates almost 10 overs to hit her first four, but when she did, off the bowling of Jodie Dibble, she struck two in as many balls.Edwards, who had ridden her luck, eventually picked out Anya Shrubshole, off the bowling of Knight, for 30, at 73 for 1, and though Bates continued to attack, the wicket certainly put a check on the Vipers progress. However, once Kiwi Sara McGlashan settled, the visitors added 37 for the second wicket, in exactly five overs.Bates struck a six over midwicket, having brought up her half-century with a sixth boundary four, and the pair took the total to 110 in the 16th over when Bates was trapped lbw by Knight, for 57 off 50 balls. McGlashan fell to Georgia Hennesseys medium pace at 126 for 3, thanks to a decent catch by Dibble at long leg, and one or two lusty blows later, the Vipers wound up their innings on 137 for 3.The Storm lost opener Rachel Priest, caught by Bates off the bowling of Tash Farrant for 0, at 10 for 1, but in Taylor and Knight, had two international players capable of winning any game.Taylor had done exactly that against Surrey Stars in Bristol earlier in the week, and the West Indies captain looked in decent touch again. Quick to punish anything short or full, the pair reached their 50 partnership in the 10th over with Taylor hitting Fi Morris for successive straight boundaries before being dropped at cover by Arran Brindle on 41.Knight chipped Morris to Edwards at midwicket at 75 for 2, off the final ball of the 12th over, but with Taylor passing 50 off 36 balls and still going strong, the game was always within the Storms grasp.Taylor and Fran Wilson pulled out every shot in the book in an attempt to stay up with the rate and won the day off the penultimate ball of the 18th over with Taylor unbeaten on 78 and Wilson 24 not out.

Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season. Cheap Shoes Outlet Stores . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. http://www.cheapshoes.us.org/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Epsom Handicap The Epsom, one of Australias heavyweight Group I handicaps over the Randwick mile, has become the domain of Chris Waller, like much of Sydney racing one might say.Waller has won the past three renewals of this prestigious race, and is mob-handed to make it four on the bounce on Saturday.The champion trainer looks an excellent chance to do precisely that, principally with the rapidly improving import, McCreery.The ex-English galloper took his time to acclimatise, but, now into his third prep with Waller, is living up resoundingly to expectations.His past two wins, in Listed and Group 3 company, have resembled track gallops, and on Saturday McCreery drops to 51.5kg for what is the toughest assignment of his career.History has been kind to Epsom runners down in the weights; since 2008, five winners have been on the limit and two have been 0.5kg over. Even Winx, who humped 57kg to victory last year, was just 1kg over following readjustment of weights.Other factors in McCreerys favour include his ability to run further than 1600m (always handy over the gruelling Randwick mile), his kind draw in four, his ability to handle any going and, of course, his current form. His pilot, Kerrin McEvoy, is riding as well as ever, also.Chances must be given to stablemate Mackintosh, Gai Waterhouses Fabrizio and the class runners, Palentino and Hauraki.But McCreery looks an outstanding prospect and can continue Wallers dominance of the Epsom.Recommended bet: McCreery to win @ $5.50 with UBET.The MetropolitanAn array of battle-hardened warriors line up for The Metropolitan, a race rich in history but notably lacking in relevance, for a Group I, in terms of the spring majors.Since Tawqeet, who followed up his Metrop win with victory in the Caulfield Cup, no winner of the race has gone close to figuring in Melbourne later in the spring.That trend is likely to continue this year, but nevertheless punters are presented with a very competitive race. Several key runners are coming through the traditional Sydney spring lead-ups, and each will be grateful for the absence of both Winx and Hartnell.Wallers emerging stayer Antonio Giuseppe, who was potted in this column last week prior to making it four wins on end, is favourite with UBET and perhaps rightly so given his winning form, light weight and the Waller polish. But do you want to be taking $5 about a horse stepping out of Benchmark 78 company?Better value lies elsewhere, with the likes of 2015 winner Magic Hurricane and topweight Who Shot Thebarman appealing at odds.But, in a devilishly open race, it might pay to side with another Waller charge in Sacred Master, who like Antonio Giuseppe is a former Kiwi, lightly weighted and in form.Its possible to pick holes in the form of Sacred Masters Newcastle Cup win, but chances are he will step up again on that effort and continue on his upward spiral.Recommended bet: Sacred Master to win at $6 with UBET.Flight StakesThis Group I looked a penalty kick for Golden Rose runner-up Omei Sword, but that fillys scratching has made the race more appealing as a betting medium, if robbed it of quality. Yankee Rose is now the only runner coming through the Golden Rose, opposed against several which last start contested the Tea Rose.Short-priced favourite Yankee Rose is my lay of the day, which leaves two standout runners - both of which represent excellent value.Skylight Glow and Global Glamour were the two best runs (outside the winner Foxplay, which doesnt reoppose here) in the Tea Rose and can be expected to confirm the form on Saturday.If pressed I would side with Skylight Glow, but there is little between the two fillies and exotics could be the path to tread.Recommended bet: Quinella Nos. 3 & 6 with UBET.Turnbull StakesThe cups candidates show their wares at Flemington on Sunday, and the picture for both races will be much clearer after the running of this usually reliable lead-up.Goddolphins Hartnell is all the rage at $2. Cheap Fake Shoes Online. 15 with UBET, and with good reason given his excellent form in three Sydney runs this campaign.Hell give backers a great sight from barrier four, but whether he is worth jumping into at such short odds is questionable.Last years winner, Preferment, loves Flemington and should improve markedly third-up, while The United States is a quality animal which must be respected.But mares in form are worth following and the flying Jameka, who, under set-weights-plus-penalties, looks beautifully treated on 54.5kg.Jameka crushed her rivals last time in the Naturalism at Caulfield, and can repeat the dose from stall seven with much in her favour.Recommended bet: Jameka to win @ $5.50 with UBETBest BetFlemington Race 5, No.5 Almandin @ $2.50 with UBETA member of the Lloyd Williams army, Almandin beat Protectionist in Germany in 2014 - the latter went on to win that years Melbourne Cup - before being sold to Australia.The Monsun gelding was just fair early this campaign, but improved markedly upped in trip last Saturday to notch his first win in Australia at the fourth time of asking.The horse he beat at Caulfield, stablemate Assign, is no slouch and, provided the quick back-up is no issue, Almandin should prove too good for his rivals in The Bart Cummings.Over the oddsCaulfield Race 4, No.10 Ameristralia @ $4.40 with UBETTakes on possibly Australias most popular racehorse in Miss Vista, hence supporters of the in-form Ameristralia will be on the receiving end of value.Ameristralia has turned the corner this prep for Team Hawkes, winning two on end after failing to win in her first five outings (often as a short-priced commodity).Well drawn in gate three, the Fastnet Rock mare can progress again and win at a bigger price than she should be.Caulfield Race 6, No.4 Wales @ $8 with UBETStrikes a very winnable race for a horse which has patches of form around gallopers vastly superior to the ones he meets on Saturday.Wales is on his way to better races than this, and showed he had returned in good order when winning first-up at big odds over 1400m.The gelding was kept at that trip next time, when failing behind subsequent Sir Rupert Clark winner Bon Aurum, and the extra 400m here will be of great benefit. Excellent each-way chance from a good alley.Under the oddsRandwick Race 9, No.12 Southern Legend @ $6.50 with UBETSouthern Legend was brave in defeat second-up in the Theo Marks, but rises from 53kg to 58.5kg under the weight-for-age conditions of the Premiere.Toss in gate 14 of 15 against a field containing some very good sprinters, and on balance Southern Legend should be double-figure odds to prevail in the toughest test of his short career.Lay of the dayRandwick Race 6, No.1 Yankee Rose @ $1.80 with UBETFrankly insulting odds for a filly which might be as good as she was, but probably isnt.Yankee Rose was the pick of the juvenile fillies last season, running second in the Golden Slipper before winning the Sires Produce Stakes.But the David Vandyke-trained galloper had trialled poorly prior to her first-up run in the Golden Rose and ran accordingly to be well beaten by Astern.Granted, she was ridden upside down from the front at Rosehill, but, until she actually reproduces her two-year-old form, Yankee Rose cant be entertained at odds-on in a Group I event.Multi of the weekendMoonee Valley (Fri) Race 1, No.8 Plot The Course - PLACE @ $1.84 with UBETMoonee Valley (Fri) Race 6, No.10 Dont Doubt Mamma - PLACE @ $1.48 with UBETCaulfield (Sat) Race 4, No.10 Ameristralia - PLACE @ $1.76 with UBETCaulfield (Sat) Race 6, No.4 Wales - PLACE @ $2.75 with UBETRandwick (Sat) Race 7, No.9 McCreery - PLACE @ $2.15 with UBETFlemington (Sun) Race 7, No.9 Jameka - PLACE @ $1.86 with UBETMulti price: $52.71 with UBET ' ' '
