The gap between the Shares Race leader, Kalkine's Hina Chowdhary, and the racer in second has closed this week.
That's mostly because her outstanding pick - medicinal cannabis stock, AusCann - fell somewhat to $19,219 from $21,719 last week.
She retains a healthy lead in week three of the four-week race, with her original $100,000 portfolio worth $116,121.
The placings of all our tipsters remain unchanged against another flat market this week with the S&P/ASX 200 hovering just above 5700 points.
The real tussle is for second place. The portfolio of Richard Pritchard (the Chartist), who won the last round and is in second place, is worth $111,329.
His stellar-performing Sky and Space Global fell back a little this week.
Angie Ellis, of 80 20 Investments, is only $9 behind on $111,320 after some good gains from Artemis Resources, the gold, copper, nickel, zinc and platinum miner.
Ellis, Chowdhary and the Australian Financial Review's Phil Baker are doing well from Costa Group.
The share price of the fresh fruit and vegetables supplier soared from $3.50 to about $4.40 during the past month after it reported a big lift in profits.
Chowdhary and Ellis are also doing well from Nextdc, the "cloud" computer services data centre operator.
Its share price has risen from $3 to about $4 during the past month on the back of a big increase in profits.
The Shares Race is a fantasy shares game. Contestants start with $100,000 across 10 stocks.
