Falcon1983 557 Posted September 21, 2023 I see this as 42-42 going into the Final Heat Unless Kurtz has an absolute stinker, he is the key man for the Aces tonight, capable of beating Emil around Foxhall 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think Aces not having Wright at the NSS strengthens them either tbh… Wright is a loss in both legs, but Doyley obviously a much bigger loss for Ipswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s in great form!… Unless he declined Don't forget Ipswich could have chosen Rowe (or Kemp) as their RS. But for whatever reason, went with Joe T when Thomas got injured. It's their own fault if it comes back to haunt them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted September 21, 2023 Think the loss of Doyle will be too much for Ipswich to overcome. Ipswich 43 - 47 Belle Vue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Doyle missing offsets us missing Charles, and we usually ride Foxhall well, I expect Dan to step up with a big score tonight. You reckon?

Bash 496 Posted September 21, 2023 Think some Belle Vue fans are making up excuses if they lose to a weakened Ipswich team. Ipswich are the underdogs after losing Doyle. We have had to replace him with a riser almost 2.5 under his average, whereas they are using RR and one of his rides is taken by a higher average rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted September 21, 2023 If the monsoons I'm witnessing in Essex make it 10 miles down the a12 to Suffolk,,, there is no way this has a chance of being on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace no.5 169 Posted September 21, 2023 There are plenty of slow moving and hefty showers down there. It's gonna rain in Ipswich, 100%, just depends how much. There's a lot of heavy stuff but also some lighter patches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 913 Posted September 21, 2023 I think Brennan and Blodorn could be key for us keeping it close, both have been a bit more hit and miss this season as can happen with young riders. I would expect Dan to be a lot better than his 4 points on our last visit, Doyle a big miss be interesting to see if the play off version of Harris turns up, will have to have some meeting to match Jason. I think Ipswich take the win, by how many could depend on Tom and Norick, King seems to be riding well at the moment, Riss and Rew could be key for Ipswich.
