Eastbourne pair Davey Watt and Lukas Dryml are still in the running for a Grand Prix berth next season.
Both came through the qualifying semi-final at Motala in Sweden today and go to the final at Coventry on Friday, September 18.
Dryml had nine points from five races while Watt's eight gave him the last qualification spot. Both men had two heat wins.
The top three at Coventry will earn a much coveted permanent berth in next season's GP series.
Notable casualties in the two semis today included Bjarne Pedersen, Tai Woffinden, Matej Zagar and Rory Schlein.
Peterborough star Kenneth Bjerre, who misses tonight's meeting against Eastbourne at Arlington, won the Motala meeting on 14 points, one clear of Eagles transfer target Grzegorz Walasek.
Croatian prospect Jurica Pavlic was top man in the other semi in Latvia after a run-off with Jarek Hampel.
Chris Holder, Freddie Lindgren and British champion Chris Harris were among the other qualifiers.
