Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

1235 - Gilesy does it by 4.4 seconds. I wouldn't like to be in the Honda or Kawasaki pits after this race as Adam and Jamie will be extremely annoyed at their mistakes
1234 - Last lap now and it is Giles leading by five seconds from Jamie Stauffer, Brookes a few tenths behind in third place, then Shannon Johnson back in fourth place with a two second buffer over Glenn Allerton. Fergusson has made it up to sixth .
1231 - Lots of lapped traffic now for the leading boys but Gilesy out on his own in front by more than five seconds ahead of the battle for second place which is unfolding between Brookes and Jamie Stauffer. Shannon Johnson a further five seconds behind in fourth place and has been running solo for virtually the whole race. Two laps to run now and Jamie has pushed past Brookes for second place
1229 - With five laps to run Jamie Stauffer made the same mistake that Krusty did earlier on in running in too deep into turn one and thus having to run through pitlane which handed Gilesy the lead and a clear lead at that. Jamie came out of pitlane just behind Josh which seemed a bit quick but I'm sure if anything was improper we will find out later on
1228 - Allerton trying very hard on the Suzuki laying darkies on the way out of the turns and darkies sideways on the way into other turns, a pretty wild ride onboard that machine today
1226 - Fergusson through on Charlton and then Gobert to get back up to seventh, 8 laps to run
1224 - 10 laps to run and the race order is; Stauffer, Giles, Brookes, Johnson, Allerton, Bugden, Gobert, Charlton, Fergusson, Geronomi, Henderson, Coote
1223 - Disaster for Krusty into turn one, he runs on and thus has to go through pitlane before rejoining the track, what a blow! So now the fight for the win will be down to three men, Jamie, Shawn and Josh and the trio are already encountering lapped traffic... That run through pit lane cost Adam dearly, pushed back to ninth place some 13 seconds behind the leaders
1222 - Jamie has got away from Shawn a little and the Honda men are now hounding him
1221 - 13 laps to run and it is Jamie, Shawn, Adam, Josh with only a second covering the whole quartet
1220 - Brookesy on the pace now also down to 67 flat and pulled a couple of tenths back on the trio in front of him that time around. Adam and Jamie nearly clash under brakes and Adam comes off worst and the mistake also allowed Gilesy through so Adam back to third and Josh all over the back of him!
1219 - Gilesy getting in the groove now with a 67 flat to start closing some ground back on Jamie and Adam. Brookesy not far behind in fourth. Adam up the inside of Jamie before the esses, now can he escape....?
1218 - Adam the fastest man on track currently with a 66.9 for a new lap record and now all over the back of Jamie
1217 - Josh hugely sideways underneath Shannon at the end of the pitlane straight, he must have just about run out of lock but he keeps it upright and makes the move stick
1216 - Adam up the inside of Shawn before the esses on lap two and out after Jamie now
1215 - Giles leads them around the back of the circuit but Jamie Stauffer is right on his hammer and slots up the inside under brakes before the esses, end of lap one now and it is Jamie, Shawn, Adam, Shannon and Josh
1214 - Gilesy off the line really well, Jamie second and Krusty struggles to get off the line again with the front wheel shooting skywards
1209 - Superbikes up next
