Casoli back through for the lead but MacPherson gets him back a couple of laps later. These top 3 still are going hammer-and-tong but there is nothing in it. 3 laps to run. Shannon Johnson up in to 17th, the young Aussie really needs a good result to lift his spirits and confidence. As he is an avid MCNEWS.COM.AU reader we wish him all the best. Teuchert in to the lead with a lap-and-a-half to go. MacPherson 2nd, Casoli 3rd and that is who it ends.
