Starke and Ritchings are not the strongest but they should beat Perry and Hodder although both of those look more on the pace recently in my opinion.

Yes Ipswich put Emil at 2 the other day, did not work at all as he came last in heat 8!!

Early predictions for this one? Rob Lyon stated that a guest has been booked for B Cook for this meeting. Belle Vue, Ipswich and Oxford are not racing so my preferred choice of guest would be Danny King, but more likely will be Z Cook. Stars to win comfortably, regardless of guest choice. 50-40. KLS  1. R Lawson - 9 (4) 2. Z Cook? - 4 (4) 3. N Klindt - 5 (4) 4. N K Iversen - 7 (4) 5. C Harris - 10 (5) 6. J Kvech - 14 (6) 7. L Harrison? - 1 (3) Total - 50 BB 1. R/R? 2. P Castagna - 5 (5) 3. T Musielak - 12 (7) 4. K Rew - 6 (5) 5. M Zagar - 9 (6) 6. J Jeppesen - 4 (4) 7. J Edwards - 4 (4) Total - 40

I like that logic, Harris in heat 5 against Lawson, Howarth in heat 9 against Rowe. Flint can only go in heat 12, so Barker in heat 3. Harris gets a two-on-the-trot, but none of the other 3 do.

Barker is a big upgrade on Boughen. Don't think r/r should awaken Glasgow too much, but may score a point or two less than Dan T would've. On paper could be a big win, but Glasgow's weak reserves could keep it closer. Mind Starke & Ritchings aren't the strongest of opposition, so who knows?

Because Cami the team manager knows what he's doing (never thought I'd say that). r/r at 2 means Chris Harris in heat 8 - waste of your top riders' extra ride coming against a reserve & second string imo
