Is that really the best option? Oh well I suppose it must be. Very underwhelmed. Don't fancy our chances to be honest.

And hkp surely it could be Ritchings with the extra ride if paco doesn't beat him in heat 2. Actually rr will be in heat one, so who knows

Surprised that Ipswich have not gone with a Guest for Kerr, I think that it will level the teams out.

 

It could come down to the reserves from both teams, certainly think if my Tigers ride to their own capabilities we can get some sort of result from this meeting.

Think we all are! Especially with the way our reserves rode at home to Scunny.

 

Fingers crossed Paco can get a point or two :neutral:

Ritchings scored 4 points which is not bad for an unknown 3 pointer.

Wasn't impressed with either reserve TBH. Ritchings scored 4 from 5 rides, but only beat Josh Bailey twice out of three meetings between the two. His other two came from Sargeant falling and finishing ahead of Paco in heat two.

 

He certainly looked the better of the two and more competitive than Paco so deserved the extra ride.

 

Not getting on his back as it's very early days I'm just giving my honest opinion on what I saw that night.

 

Bailey is nearly a point and half below Ritchings in the NL averages and I think you want to be beating your opposite number at home at least so Ritchings will be disappointed to have been beaten by him in heat two.

 

I have faith though that both reserves will do fine in the long run. I've said many times that I think Paco will be nearer the 5 point mark than the 3, and Ritchings started his NL season well and there are worse riders than him around in the number 7 berth.

 

My main concern at the moment though is Paco at Foxhall. He's looked absolutely terrible on the two occasions we've seen him and when a rider openly states that he struggles to get around then that is a concern.

 

Surely he must get better the more he rides it? He may never be a track specialist, but you'd expect any professional rider to improve around their home track the more he rides it.
