Lloyd Byford took his second consecutive win in this season’s JJ series at The Shot Stadium. He followed up his previous round maximum by dropping just 1 point this time. A second race defeat by Ethan Ashby didn’t stop him taking top spot. After a run-off for second place Ryan Betts posted his best effort so far with 12 points. He led fellow 12 pointer Darcy Broad from the gate to finish runner-up while third placed Broad will be very pleased with his meetings performance. Chris Holmes 11 points will keep him on course for a semi-final berth. Young Irish rider Damien Flaherty finished the meeting strongly with three wins to score 10 points and maybe this will be the catalyst for more good performances in the coming weeks. Ashby was another rider to have his best meeting which included that win over Byford. Wayne Josephs started the meeting well with two wins but faded badly to score just 1 more point in his last three rides. Ryan Beckett, Aaron Haynes and Jason Jagger all scored 7 and looked like they could feature more prominently in the future. Byford stands second in the overall table with Broad also in the top 5. Josephs will look to bounce back after his poorest score but is still well within the top 32.
