I would expect a better score from Zach after last night, he looked very quick. Thompson seemed quick enough but made bad decisions on track. Edwards was good too. I don't think the result will be close.

Strange with Zach Cook. A couple of match winning meetings here a few years ago and he looked like a Foxhall track specialist! But the last couple of seasons it seems as though he’s completely forgotten how to ride the place and looked awful.

Was interesting to hear Bewley on TNT publicly say how much he enjoys riding Foxhall despite not doing particularly well here. He’s said the same over the tannoy at Foxhall in the past, but I just put that down to the fact he was being interviewed in front of a big Ipswich crowd and saying all the right things. 
 

He’ll soon be hitting the big scores here when he rides it most weeks next year.

 

😁

you know what, i said to the mrs that the way he keeps bragging about the ipswich track i can see him there, brennan did the same thing last year

Is it the morphine or the boredom causing these hallucinations 

Rest up

Uses the same word as Woffy, (fun). Woffinden was very complimentary about Foxhall last year and said he had a blast and was great fun to ride. 
 

Bewley hasn’t got to grips with it yet. He seems to have one or two rides a meeting where you think “he’s cracked it now”, but then follows it up looking completely lost at the back. There was heat last year where he made a stinker of a gate, but stretched the throttle cable and hunted down and passed both Emil and Ellis Loram style! Unbelievable racing. But then he went completely downhill after that and ended the meeting poorly. Leicester is a similar sized track albeit narrower, but he seems to get around there far better than Ipswich for some reason.

Yes I even thought he may sign for Ipswich this season, he hasn't had great meetings for Poole sometimes but he always seems to find a bit extra at play off time so beware he may be on fire tomorrow!

one is German champion, one is last years under 23 world long track champion, and one is errrrr Australian, its amazing what useless people can do these days. 🤣

They aren’t useless but Zischke and Mulford not really up to it at this level 

For me Blodorn is your biggest disappointment

Mulford has the third highest Rising Star average currently - he isn't really the problem, but is made to look so by the lack of points elsewhere.

was expecting more from blodorn, some days very good then not so good, he is still very young, 22, i think, . it is a tuff sport. mentally and physically, so may be more time ??

If this is on, then I expect Ipswich to win by about 20 points. Brady and Dan will put up a fight but ultimately Belle Vue’s lower end will cost them.

On paper, I agree with you, however I have just a few niggling concerns:

1. It seems that Ellis’ injury is more problematic on smaller tracks.

2. Thompson seems to be struggling with Foxhall since his return from injury and hasn’t been the same as pre injury.

3. Edwards last two meeting at Foxhall have not been good with 1 & 2 points respectively.

Having said that, I still expect us to turn around the deficit and progress. I just can’t see enough points coming from Mulford, Zischke, Blödorn and even Cook. Cook has scored 1, 3 and 3 at Foxhall this season.

Can’t wait.

Good points, but it should be a comfortable win for you.

weather looks dodgy for this one . Showers all afternoon and evening according the the met office forecasts.  

in line with poole and oxford this week will Ippo take advantage of the early call off due to weather forecast option. ?

Definitely not, there is no chance of this being called off. With the last GP just a couple of days later, I seriously doubt Kurtz and Bewley will be taking too many risks...😉

Mostly dry and sunny tomorrow although small showers lasting about 30 mins between 14:00 16:00 and 19:00 according to the Mett.

[Gavan]

We must get this on tomorrow night …. We don’t want Kurtz coming back to us as world champ and Bewley world number 3 as they will both have sky high confidence

Agree with you, I always worry when other meetings are before ours due to injuries so I would deffo get it done before any chance of injury for Doyle Kurtz and Bewley at the weekend. I’d rather beat or even lose against a team full strength than not, otherwise it doesn’t feel the same when it not full 1-7 vs 1-7.
