Yes, and I notice they did actually put thunderstorms at 3pm rather than a heavy shower. So will do well to get it on imo. But they do seem keen too, so fair play.

The track has excellent drainage, it hasn’t rained for days so track bone dry. I suspect they will be watering by start time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it 52-38 before the injuries. Jye's home scores are 7, 2, and 4. I can see RR getting 4 ish .MPT could get between 6 and 10, probably 7-8 from 4, making the Aces a bit weaker. I still see the Aces getting the win by around 10 points. For the Stars to have a chance we need Lawson and Kerr to be on it. Richard has looked slow to me this year so far. If you think it will be a Stars win, there could be decent odds on for you 365 later Edited May 16, 2022 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Spotted with rain 15 miles South West but very brief, not enough to wet the ground. 1 ride for Wright, 3 for Brennan will yield more points than I'd expect Etheridge to score. MPT is best guest available, lacks the star factor Zagar brings but can't see it affecting the overall score 53-37.

Col Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Obviously been more rain here, it was torrential as I passed the airport but dry now. Roadworks by the old greyhound stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTheAce Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Currently at track. track looks fine. Could take even more rain. the showers have been isolated, some hit the track and some diddnt. It’s been 20+ degrees in between and sunny so it’s dried the track up brilliantly. the meeting will be on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been a reason, Alex Brady has proved to be a good TM so far and not afraid to make tough calls so I can't imagine it was an oversight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good point on the road,would have taken that before the meeting.As it happened even if Worrall did come in ht14 we would have still only have taken a point. We had 7 heat wins,every rider getting at least a win or paid win,apart from Thomas but he can claim the scalp of beating Kurtz into 3rd place.So all in all not a bad performance i suppose against the red hot favourites for the league.Plus i had a fiver on Lynn+14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Track very strange today, looked like allot of loose material on it, riders barely moved off the white line. Came good by the end and lots of tractoring. Except for Brennan passing Thomas in heat 4, while races seemed fast they were also quite spread out. 3 good race at the end, Fricke passing TS Iversen, Pickering passing Fricke in heat 13 and the best of all Wright passing Pickering in heat 15. Stars unlucky not get a point, inside gates big advantage tonight. MPT was poor, in his own words he needed to "grow some balls", I'm sure Zagar would have excelled on that track. Suspect the absence of the Slovenian affected Kurtz who looked nothing like the rider that scored a 15 point maximum on BHM, says when Zagar riding it feels like a weight of pressure is lifted. Was surprised Worrall wasn't used in het 14 but Thomas had been decent in his previous rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
