No idea who would be available because whilst its the only match in the UK tonight i am not clued up on foreign commitments.

Based on Kings average though, i would have looked at Dan Thompson or Niklai Klindt, especially the latter, good gating and going pretty well right now.

Danny is 8.33 both Thompson and klindt higher

Early doors but shaping up that this could be an absolute hiding which is never good for the sport.

Oh it will be

With some quick thinking by Dayle Wood by either rolling into the tapes, or pulling back & waiting for the red light, Oxford could've had Ritchings in the re-run of heat 4.

Lost points perhaps?

Both are lower after you take in to account Danny K's average +10% - King (+10%) =8.75 - D Thompson = 8.71 - Klindt = 8.73.

Creditable result for the Gladiators

Fair play Edwards has his best meeting of the season and helps save the Glads didn't see that coming early doors.

For one heat with Harris, Nicholls and Kennett in it  I was transported back in time to to a place in the fabled Midlands area. And then I woke up and swallowed lump of asphalt that flew at me. Anyway, I enjoyed the meeting - both teams put in a good shift. But a particular big well done to the track staff - Sandy Lane has been well, sandy! Like a scene from Lawrence of Arabia. And I was expecting the same tonight. but thought it held up well considering the exceptional heat and dryness. Well done the men - and possibly women - in overalls.
