most of the more senior riders dont want to risk getting injured.  they should have at least sent a couple of riders out to do a few laps to test the track.  it was a bad look

Forecast looked fine when i checked yesterday.

Going to be tough now, with already using r/r

Agreed. The boys will need to be on it tonight and have their gating gloves on. Jeppesen  can fly round Ashfield as can Cook on his day and Batchelor can pop out the traps for an occasional win as can Zischke. Perry can sometimes gate well and hold a front position. Much will depend on Hausel and Jacobsen’s performance imo. 

The Board of Directors....

That does change things slightly. Cairns is getting 7 rides.
