Brian Broadbank cruised to victory at Burslem Park. He had 12 points going into his final heat knowing a second place would give him the win. He let Dmitrij O’Shea take the lead from the tapes and settled in behind him riding sensibly for the points he required. O’Shea’s win put him onto 13 points level with Richie Sampson. The home rider, though, won out in the run-off to take second place and Sampson is now on course for a semi spot. O’Shea’s third place means he has made the podium in all 6 rounds this season. An unfortunate engine failure for John Honey brought his unbeaten meeting to an abrupt end in heat 10. He was leading the race when he shed a chain on the third lap. He came back well to finish on 10 points to move up the standings. Dave Hemus, Craig leonard and Alex Golden all had good meetings to score 9 points. Indeed were it not for a heat 20 fall Leonard would have made double figures. Just behind them on 8 points was Lee Mcauliffe. All these riders will have to keep riding at this level to ensure a semi-final place as will Ralph Whelan whose 7 point score keeps him around the top 32.
