Chris Holmes 14 points took him to victory at The Grovedale and put him firmly into the semi-finals. His from has steadily improved throughout this season after starting as one of the favourites for the title. He should now play a big part in the final outcome. Region leader, Lloyd Byford, could have finished on 14 points as well but for a machine failure in his third ride. His 11 points meaning he had to run-off with Wayne Josephs and home rider Ryan Betts for second place. Although Josephs gated best Byford was soon round him by the end of lap 1 to race away for the win. Josephs’ and Betts’s good efforts helped them stay very much on course for the semis. The same can be said for Darcy Broad who rode well for another double figure score. Alain De Gruchy improved his chances with 10 points and he may sneak a qualifying spot with a good last round. Nick Turner had one of his best rounds so far but could be just too far away to get into the semi-finals. Next season will be a big one for him. Alfie Goodwin and Ethan Ashby are hovering around the bottom end of the top 32 and will have to put in decent efforts in the final round to go any further. Damien Flaherty had a poor round for him but should still make the semis.
