Brookes tried to shake off Tozer but the Stafford Yamaha rider stayed right with him.

Giles trying valiantly to catch back up to the leaders after being left at basically the back of the field on lap 1 due to his incident at turn 1, up to 5th by lap 6.

Tozer passed Brookes on lap 7, Alistair Maxwell some 5 seconds back in 3rd and being chased by Giles.

Brookes took the lead again on lap 8, Giles the fastest man on the circuit in 4th and starting to challenge Maxwell.

A lapped rider held up both Brookes and Tozer through turns 1 and 2 on lap 11 but neither gained any major advantage.  Giles has overtaken and cleared out from Maxwell now, he won't be able to catch the 7 seconds he would require to challenge Brookes and Tozer but he will be earning valuable championship points.

As Josh Brookes crossed the line to receive the last lap board he had pulled out 1.8 seconds on Tozer.  Giles seems to be settling for 3rd now and has eased his pace a little.

Josh Brookes takes the win from Tozer, Giles, Maxwell.
