This coming Wednesday sees the Pirates take on the Tigers for league points.

The Pirates will  be without the unlucky Fraser Bowes after his nasty spill last week resulting in a punctured lung and rib and back bruising. 

Hopefully Cooper will be available to boost the reserves

Glasgow of course have Chris Bomber Harris in thier ranks, who always rides Wimborne Road well,add on Kyle Howarth and Leon Flint and they have a solid top three.

Will be interesting to see how well Kevin Juhl Pedersen and Mario Hausl go on thier first visit.

Sam Hagon is up and down with his scoring and not sure if Freddy Hodder is fit.

Sticking my neck out, I think the Pirates should win this  not sure by how many though.

Thoughts?

Kevin Juhl Pedersen rode in the Blue Riband last season scoring 9pts

Oh...

When Scunny came down in the cup he only beat a Poole rider once, rest of his points came from beating his team mates. So 6 points might look ok but not when you break it down. Though Cooper did trick him to move off the racing line a few times. 

Though was early in the season before anyone has got only form going, so we shall see. But tough ask in the top 5 at Poole if he is guesting for KJP or is it for Hausel? 

 

They are both not riding

Will Howarth be riding? Didn't he pull out of some guest bookings today? 

This needs someone who can interpret the rule book. His absence was for a family emergency which is understandable. Does the fact he was absence as a guest make any difference? A non speedway absence might mean a 7 day suspension. In which case a replacement at 75% of Kyle’s GSA of 8.28 could apply. Just my thoughts and happy to be corrected.

Poole could easily get close to 60 in this one 

Harris last 3 meetings at Poole 16 rides and 6 wins and is out of form 

Howarth last 3 has had 14 rides and 1 win

Flint 8 rides and 1 win

Add in having Jack Smith and Luke Harrison and Glasgow are very weak

Rushen and Cairns can easily hit double figures

Any Poole fan expecting this to be close is deluded

But surely Glasgow are better than that? I think they are owed a big performance but to be honest I'm not expecting it to be on Wednesday. In fact I'm not really expecting them to be in the play-offs this year, Edinburgh and Plymouth look more dangerous to me, the question is who will be the fourth team?

Verdict for Wednesday is Poole 50+.
