But it was again Brookes the early leader in this one with Holland and McCarthy in behind him.  Holland took the lead early on lap 2 as once again this trio left Clarke in their wake.

McCarthy then slipped through for the lead early on lap three.  Clarke closed some ground back to them on that lap and looked to be coming back in to the picture.

Brookes then slipped through on Holland before closing on to the tail of McCarthy.  Holland then made a small mistake which put him back in to the clutches of Clarke.

Holland run off the track on the final lap which left the battle for the win to the Honda boys.  Brookes took the win, McCarthy 2nd and Clarke 1.5-seconds down in third.

Both Brookes recorded a 1m37.5 on their final lap.
