• 1050 - There it is, red flag is out, quite a delay until it was shown and I think more put out due to the position of Sciberras' machine in case anyone else went down on the next lap, Sciberras in a bit of pain but conscious and moving around. Race declared.
• 1050 - Sciberras down and hurting, think we might get another red flag
• 1049 - Hern getting away from Carr now and this race is his if he keeps it upright, Henry not in a position to make a challenge.
• 1046 - Carr gets a great run off the start line and Hern goes with him, Henry a poor start again and has his work cut out for him.  Sciberras very aggressive this time around and forces his way into third place. Hern to the lead around the back section of the circuit
• 1032 - At this stage of proceedings officials are indicating that this will now be a two part race with the second part of the race to be run over three laps.
• 1029 - Red Flag.  Nothing too dangerous though
• 1028 - One of the Kawasaki runners just highsided himself into orbit over the back of the circuit but looks to be okay.
• 1028 - Carr has responded to drop into the 29s also, a 29.8 to Carr versus a 29.7 to Henry, the gap down to 8-tenths
• 1026 - Ben Henry has now finally managed to squeeze passed and pull away from Carr and immediately takes nearly 1.4 seconds out of Carr's lead in just one lap!  Four laps to run and Henry will be on Carr any second now, the WA rider just put in the first 1m29 of the race with a 29.2, 1.5 seconds quicker than Carr's best.
• 1024 - Carr has a lead of nearly two seconds on his pursuers now as they fight amongst themselves. Henry having a ding dong battle with Carr while a little further back is Cowie while Yates and Sciberras tussle furiously over fifth
• 1023 - Ben Henry looking for a way through and starting to get aggressive... Hern is escaping though as Henry and Carr swap paint at nearly every turn
• 1021 - Charles Hern leads by 7-tenths of a second over Carr as they commence lap two, Henry has moved up to third place ahead of Cowie, Yates, Riddle, Sciberras and Aitken
• 1020 - Superstockers are away!  Brayden Carr leads from Charles Hern and Tim Cowie through the esses for the first time
