I reckon we can double our money with another 25 points.....got to be looking to win all of our home matches, win big twice at Leicester and then pick a point up at the two best race tracks in the league which should suit our dodgy gating.

So you are predicting the Stars are not getting a point from the Oak Tree Arena?  Or Monmore?  Or NSS?

Monmore. Wolves away and Poole at home are the two trickiest fixtures in terms of expected points IMO.

People can say what they like about Speedway about it dying on it's arse and poor standard of riders etc etc... but when was the last time the top division was so open? Who knows who will make the top 4 and in what order. Has to be the most open season for many a year. Somerset are the only team to remain unbeaten at home but even then have dropped points in a draw. The next few weeks of the season should be brilliant.

Agree. Season is a thriller. Shame about Rye and things need to be sorted this winter but any team can win this season, except perhaps Leicester.

If Poole do indeed finish top Steve, who would you pick to face in semi finals. King’s Lynn??

It would be a surprise if all clubs in a tiny 7 team league were not in with a chance of finishing fouth from bottom around the half way stage.

Because the points totals the teams are unusually close together.,  five teams separated by only 3 points.   I can see this going to the wire.   

Belle Vue's  lost last night was massive, 3pts they could ill afford to lose.    but other teams can also suffer in a similar way.    August should answer a lot of questions...

Of the top 5 now, Swindon having played 2/3 matches more than the rest, are looking precarious,  but are still very much in it. 

I'll going to go with   Somerset, Poole, Lynn  with Swindon edging out Wolves for the last place....

The matches, a team has against Poole  will have a big bearing on their finishing order.;    Somerset still have to play them 3 times,  Swindon  twice; and Lynn, Wolves and Leicester only once,   Those matches, Poole against Somerset,  could determine who gets the choice of semi-final selection.

...and 2 of those Poole v Somerset v Poole meetings can be seen live on BT on 13th and 20th August, so all viewers can judge who seems best for the play-off choices.
