Depends how fit MPT actually is. He actually seemed quick after his first ride and was rightly given the rest of the night off after the job was done 

He hurt his hand in heat 10 when Douglas went under him. You could see he was in some discomfort after the race. I wasn't surprised he didn't come out in 13

Fist bumping with Lewis Kerr after heat 6 seemed strange maybe forgot about his hand when Lewis offered him his fist

If we keep it tight at the NSS then we win.

Forget our two Home defeats to the Aces because one was due to fatigue from a double header and the other was down to a poor race track.

Make the track grippy with an outside line at the EOEA then the Worrall's won't be half as effective as they're trappers who produce their best on slick tracks.

As for the NSS meeting Pedersen & Palin should have the beating of Etheridge & Brennan so it's down to the top 5 to keep it close.

If you make the showground grippy and rip up the outside, don't expect Pedersen to be as effective as he was last night on a smooth slick surface. Palm Toft with his hand injury won't go well on somewhere pulling his arms out, so it'll be interesting. Track set up will suit some on the home team as well as on the away team. Make it grippy for Bomber with an outside line and Wright will also have a field day. Make it slick and smooth for Pedersen and you can expect Bewley to go through the card.

The problem with the showground now with the clay in the surface is even if you rip up the outside it takes minimum 10 heats for the inside to slicken off enough that the outside becomes the fastest line. It's going to be tricky to set up the track to suit the home team. As Sheffield showed a couple of weeks ago, If you don't make starts you're in trouble on any track.

Etheridge will do well at Peterborough, don't underestimate him. the flip side, Palin can go well at Belle Vue

The Aces did quite well on a very grippy Owlerton on Monday.  Past results don't mean too much imo, but Belle vue won twice at boro this season by being the better team on the day simple as that.

Lets just hope for two good meetings for the cameras and that no guests end up racing, thus making the flagship domestic final of the sport a contrived joke..

If a heat leader is missing from each team then both run RR...

From reading the reports it sounded like all the meetings in the semis were a bit short on the level of entertainment we would want, (only personally watched the Wolves leg of their semi so maybe the reports didnt do the others justice)...

Regardless, hopefully we can have two great finals, delivered by two "proper" teams...

Sounds like Kerr being lined up for both meetings 

Makes sense for continuity reasons also the rumours he's a 2022 panther don't go away. 

Without wanting to go off topic both Peterborough and Belle Vue have needed guests and have avoided Cook with barge pole, what has gone wrong for him not to be trusted or have Glasgow said no guest bookings?

Often wondered why Cookie and Belle Vue parted company.  Never really settled at any other top tier team.
