The key man for Monarchs will be Max Fricke he is an outstanding prospect but has not been great at Shielfield in his Previous visits ,if he has a good meeting it will be close run thing IMO.If the track is slick gating will be ultra important ,have we got aTeam of better gaters than the past few seasons?
Berrington was good small track but if the strIghts had been another 20 metres long it would have been perfect IMO.Considering it was a blank canvas to start from I was disappointed .I believe it was based on Mildenhall for size..Happy days though.
Never mind I'll sell you my Berrington shares they might become a collectors in the future.I heard Northumberland council have cancelled there plans to re-route and upgrade the A1to dual -carriageway past Berrington Lough Farm track road end,that was going to help with the traffic congestion that the New Stadium was going to cause on a Sat night.
Don't think Berwick is his favourite track but he will score big points ,it will be interesting to see how many Heat winners the Bandits produce though.
This will be a close encounter IMO. Cook will take some beating I think Masters will do abit of damage Sneddon is pretty consistent round Shielfield.Certainly will a much bigger challenge than last Sat.Bandits just to sneak it for me. Claus will be our main weapon in the big heats .Early days but should be a good meeting track looked ok last week albeit slick .
You have got to hand it to Ward he was excellent in getting Holder round in the races that mattered,Team riding was evident with the Aussies unlike the Danes for whom Nicki just cares about Nicki and stuffs everybody else,nothing new there though.
I think 20+ Monarchs Aussies will be quite sharp from winter.Fricke is going to be a star and Cook will probably go through the card.Theo v Monarchs for me.
