A fantastically close meeting ended with a 4 man run-off for first place. 3 experienced riders, Wayne Josephs, Darcy Broad and Chris Holmes were joined by the much less experienced Jason Jagger. Josephs was away first from the tapes and though challenged hard by Broad held his nerve to ride a fine race and take the win. Holmes wasn’t far behind them but couldn’t land a blow while Jagger finished tailed off but can be very proud of his effort. Indeed had he finished higher than third in his last ride he would have won the meeting but it was not to be as he finished behind Josephs and Ryan Betts. Betts was just behind the top four with 10 points bur is pushing hard for a semi-final spot. The section leader, Lloyd Byford, was looking good for another big score after 3 race wins but in his final 2 rides his bike had other ideas and he didn’t finish either race. A better meeting for Nick Turner with 8 points which all came from his first 3 rides before, like Byford, his machine let him down. Damien Flaherty scored a solid 8 points to keep his semi-final hopes alive and Garth Street is still also fighting hard for a top 32 finish.
