Boyd Beaton’s 13 points gave him top spot at The Peelings Arena. He is now beginning to look the part this season after a difficult first season in the JJ last time around. He had just one blip on his scorecard finishing third in heat 14 behind young guns Frankie Young and Marcus Jay. Otherwise he had four sublime wins and is moving his way up the standings. Young and Jay both had strong meetings themselves with Young finishing third on 11 points and Jay scoring 9 after a first race last place. These two look good bets for the semi-finals in their debut season in the JJ. Young was actually beaten in a run-off for second by Welshman Ashley Wakerley. Wakerley scoring 11 which could have been more had ne not locked up going round bends 1 and 2 on the second lap of heat 7 when chasing Beaton, allowing Kelly Kallstrom and Michael Plant to pass him. Wakerley finished strongly though and lies tied thirteenth in the overall standings. High flying Mitchell Spink finished on 10 points and, like Wakerley, could have scored more but for one last place in heat 14 when his bike slowed on the first lap before spluttering into life leaving him well adrift of the other riders. Also on 10 was Dominic Rivers who started well with two wins but faded in his last three rides. He will be a force to be reckoned with once he finds a little more consistency. Jordan Trott started the day with machine problems in his first ride but rode steadily thereafter to score 9 points to keep him very much in the top 32. Poor meetings for James Knight and Alex Gagen will have to be forgotten if they want to push on and make those vital semi-final places.
