Based on one off the cuff comment by Doyle on Monday evening. Pretty sure thats not exactly what he meant. 

I thought it was exactly what he meant, making the track to suit the home riders although Ellis would not want it too rough, apparently still carrying a injury.

[Hackett]

52-38

58 - 34

67 - 23 

Three convincing home wins at Foxhall over the Aces. Most would be surprised if any different on Thurs. The Aces have struggled for points at reserve and can see the Witches making the most of the Aces struggles away from the NSS. 

Perhaps with adverse weather it may the home track advantage minimal but can only see a home win by10+

Hope BV can keep it close but doubt it, Emil will be a different rider at home.

Looks like rain due to stop after 16:00 and only small showers in the afternoon, deffo will be on.

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.

If it’s on I’ll eat my hat.

Talk of Ipswich roughing up the track, i dont think theres any need for them to do that to pull back six points against us, given our performances at Foxhall this season and our weakness at No2 and 6 and 7.

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 that when he called Monmore his premiership home?

[Eagle77]

I can still see this being pretty close...

If you match the top 5's up...

Doyle v Kurtz

Emil v Bewley

Brennan v Lidsey

King v Cook

Thompson v Blodorn

I reckon there could be no more than a 2 to 4 points difference... probably just in favour of Ipswich

The big issue for Belle Vue could well be at reserve where I can see the Witches pair out scoring the Aces duo by at least 8 points...

Really looking forward to it and hope that the relatively kind weather forecast turns out to be accurate...

Meeting will be over by Heat 10 imo, Ellis' injury will probably bring down Ipswich's points total a bit but nowhere near enough to give BV a realistic chance of making the Final.

Damage was done on Monday and I think the BV fans in attendance knew that as well by the applause at the end of Heat 15.
