The day before the last saw very few shufflings in the standings -- and if so,
they were moderate ones. From the #1 down to #30 there was no movement bigger
than seven places.

Hoshifransu enters senshuraku on the yusho spot. With seven points advantage
to Furanohana and Misisko (who switched places today) the French Star is in
the driver's seat for the victory tomorrow. But wait! Rikishi aren't supposed
to drive by themselves, are they? Maybe I should choose another idiom...

The sansho are locked up, barring any miracles. The current candidates have
comfortable 14- and 18-points advantages.

The average went down by more than five points (expectedly) but was still over
twenty (unexpectedly: 20.11), Beaumaru's 31 were the only 30+ score. However,
this were just "beauty operations", as he's pretty lost in space at #123.
