Weather looking superb for tonight. The field is looking very interesting as well with a few riders capable of winning the trophy outright and others that could upset the apple cart.

 

The former could well come from Schlein, Cookie, Hougaard, Wolbert, Tully, Pijper and the latter Worrall, Wells and no doubt a couple of others.

 

Advance ticket sales have gone very well so a big crowd looks on the cards.

 

A wee bit of post match entertainment as well.

 

Bring plenty.

Great meeting tonight especially the semi and the final.

 

You could not of picked a winner out of the semi or final as they were both very competitive heats with top quality riders in them.

 

Rory's move on Worrall in the semi was fantastic and the Final might not of had much passing in it but as Cookie was away and gone you had Hougaard, Theo and Rory all battling it out for 2nd place it was great to watch.

 

Hope Tabaka is feeling okay for tomorrow as it looke like he got himself into a bit of a pickle and took an awkward looking tumble.

 

Well done to Cookie though as he was the top qualifier and was fast all night.

My ramblings from the Monarch's Chatzone

 

Well done Cookie! Racing got better as the night went on with Cookie/Claus race the highlight. While I am biased in favour of

a Monarch winning, always good to see the leading qualifier win the final. Abby says Cookie winning was better than any fireworks!

 

Hopefully Joe is ok for tomorrow night, Theo was superb, Claus had a couple of great races, Max and Deek too and Mitchell impressed in his last two. Dunno about Tobias though, close in some, well adrift in others, maybe get him back on 3.00 next year after a dodgy airport burger?

 

Bager is a different rider from 6 weeks ago, Hougaard got close, Rory lost a heat or 2 in an Open!! Tully, couple of bad races, Worrall, Wells and Wolbert the same.

 

I see a win at Berwick, but for now our thoughts must be with Ricky Ashworth after his fall at Scunny tonight
