Alex Harkess has targeted wins over Glasgow Tigers and Workington Comets as Edinburgh Monarchs bid to seal a play-off place.
He concedes that neither of the matches is easy but he wants to secure a place in the last four sooner rather than later.
Tigers, who visit Armadale on Friday (tapes-up 7.30pm) bring in former Edinburgh rider Ashley Morris who won a Premier League championship medal with Monarchs seven years ago.
Morris has been recruited by injury-hit Tigers to stand-in for crocked Finnish star Nike Lunna. James Sarjeant, a former Glasgow racer, replaces injured Tom Perry.
Former Monarchs rider, Dan Bewley, is sidelined with groin problems and Tigers will use rider replacement for him.
Glasgow’s strength is built on the top three of Richie Worrall, Richard Lawson and former Edinburgh rider Aaron Summers, all of whom are in fine form.
Earlier this season, Tigers battled to a 45-45 draw at Armadale, with Summers top scoring with 11 points. They will be looking for a repeat or better this time.
