An untroubled maximum from Steady led the Tigers to their first league points
of the season. Taylor Poole followed his skipper home ahead of Kevin Wolbert
in heat 1 but he destroyed the tapes in his second outing and then broke down
while well placed in his third. Leigh Lanham started with three solid second
places before passing Kasper Lykke Nielsen to win heat 12 ahead of the impressive
Anders Thomsen. He deserved the nomination for heat 15 but was unable to catch
the Glasgow powerhouse after a poor start. Andre Compton followed Leigh home
in his first three rides before thrilling the fans as he hunted down and then
blasted around Rusty Harrison on the last lap of heat 14. Ty Proctor had to
move to gate 2 after Josh touched the tapes in heat 4 and he trapped well to
claim his first win for the Tigers. He team rode with Simon Neilsen to keep
Rusty at bay in heat 7 and was unfairly penalized 15 metres in heat 11. He made
a good start at the first attempt while the other three were so slow, and the
second time he and Kevin Wolbert both reacted quickly and to my eyes the referee
made a poor decision. Ty made amends by passing Kevin Wolbert out of turn two
to follow his skipper home in heat 13. Simon Nielsen rode above his average
without attracting much attention while Josh caught the eye with some sparkling
rides before pulling out of heat 12.
The visitors were virtually a two man team and easy prey for the home Tigers.
It will be very interesting to see how they go at Armadale, and indeed at home
next week when the Scorpions are back in town.
