ALUN Rossiter got the perfect response from his riders as they ran Wolverhampton Wolves ragged at the Abbey this evening.

Gregorz Zengota and Kyle Howarth, two riders both fighting for their futures in Robins colours, rode their hearts out to pose their boss plenty of problems when he comes to deciding which one to axe in the imminent roster shake-up.

Pole Zengota enjoyed a perfect night, scoring 12 points from his four heats, with British Under-21 champion Howarth notching 10+1.

In truth, the visitors never really showed up and after finding themselves 15-2 down after three heats, never recovered.

It was a fantastic start for the Robins as captain Troy Batchelor nicked an opening heat maximum after taking Wolves' Freddie Lindgren on the line.

The Wolves reserves contrived to compound their first race woes, both crashing on the first bend to hand Swindon a 5-0 and make it 10-1 after two heats, although Charles Wright did his best to keep it interesting by coming off in the re-run.

In the third that lead extended further as Nick Morris continued his fine form to secure another 5-1, with the help of guest Hans Andersen.

It wasn’t until heat four that a Wolves rider managed more than a point, Ricky Wells coming second behind Zengota in the first tied heat.

Another Robins maximum in the next heat, with Howarth the victor, and then a 4-2 in six saw the lead stretch to 27-8.

The battle between Howarth and Zengota proved more engaging than the match itself, both bagging two heat wins from two as they looked to impress boss Rossiter and hold on to their roster slot.

The next heat saw the lead go out to 21 points. Tobiasz Musielak fell in the first run, presenting Andersen and Batchelor with an easy maximum over the prone Wolf Wells.

Zengota continued his fine form for a third win and another Robins’ heat advantage in eight.

Wolves, 21 points down, opted to go tactical in heat nine, but were undone as Lewis Blackbird fell and was excluded in the first run. However, Wells jumped out of the gates to take six points in the re-run, but in truth the match was long run.

Another pair of maximums in heat 11 and 12 came after a tied tenth and took the lead to 30, Swindon's Lewis Rose nosing Josh Bates on the line in the 12th was a particular highlight.

The Wolves took a heat advantage in the final race, the ultimate case off too little, too little late, as the meeting finished 60-32 to a rampant Robins.
