Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

1315 - Red Flag due to the increasing rain, just in time for Dan Stauffer as he ran off into the grass at the end of the pit straight. I believe they have completed the required number of laps for the race to be declared with the race results deciding on the race order at the end of the previous lap which will see Krusty take the win from Dan Stauffer. I also believe Brookes will not get the 3rd place he crossed the line with as with the race counted back to the lap previous to that move Shannon might retain his 3rd place. Bugden 5th, Gobert 6th, Giles 7th, Allerton 8th then it is Charlton, Jamie Stauffer rounds out the top ten.
1314 - The race pace has dropped off only a couple of seconds due to the moisture, Brookesy the one to benefit, they will slow more now though as the rain starting to pick up a little. Bugden coming under attack from Gobert who is liking the conditions
1313 - Krusty comes across the stripe again as the rain drizzles down lightly. Brookesy made a liar of me and slipped past Johnson for 3rd as the Yamaha men must have buttoned right off because of the moisture
1312 - Krusty was making some hand signals to his team in pit lane as he came past that time around, indicating that there could be some moisture falling around the circuit. Yes it is coming in now, the boys out on slicks and a few drops of rain starting to fall
1311 - Brookesy up to 4th now but that is realistically as high as he can hope to get with only 6 laps to run. Krusty now has 2 seconds on Dan who in turn has over a second on Shannon
1309 - Krusty now 1.7 seconds ahead of Dan Stauffer who in turn has managed to gap Shannon by a few tenths. Bugden in 4th but starting to come under attack from Brookes who is quickening his pace, that battle taking place a full 10 seconds behind the race leader though
1308 - Lapped riders becoming a factor already and both Yamaha men got baulked a little on that lap
1307 - Krusty has pulled away from the Yamaha men a little now. Dan just went underneath Shannon for 2nd place after deciding it is his turn to try and chase down Krusty to try and make a challenge but the gap between them is now out to 1.2 seconds with 8 laps to run
1306 - Brookesy underneath Gobert for 5th place. Gilesy running 7th after getting the better of his Suzuki team-mate
1305 - Robert Bugden up to 4th place after getting Gobert out of the esses, Brookes all over the back of Gobert now also. Only 4-tenths covering the top trio still but they are 8 seconds ahead of that battle for 4th
1304 - Brookes up to 6th place after dispensing with the two Suzuki men. Anthony still 4th but having to get a little sideways to stay there
1303 - 12 laps to run and now less than half a second covering the top trio. Then it is Gobert a full 5 seconds further behind and Dan the fastest man on that last lap once again, will be challenging Shannon for 2nd any time now
1302 - Anthony Gobert still in 4th place and benefiting a little from the heady battle just behind him between Allerton, Bugden, Giles and Brookes
1301 - Fergusson, Johnson and Dan Stauffer the pacesetters and the only men in the 1m23s, Dan the fastest lap thus far with a 1m23.50
1300 - Bugden up to 6th place after making a move on Giles, now harassing Allerton for 5th
1259 - 15 laps to run and Fergusson still with 4-tenths over Johnson who in turn has half a second on Dan Stauffer. Anthony Gobert now more than a second behind Dan and being closed down by Glenn Allerton, Shawn Giles, Robert Bugden and Josh Brookes.
1258 - Fergusson put down a 1m28.7 from a standing start to pull out 4-tenths over Shannon on that first lap while Dan Stauffer promoted himself up to 3rd after passing Gobert. Henderson went down softly on the second lap. 1256 - Superbikes away! Krusty gets a good run but Brookesy didn't so it is Krusty leading them through the first turns with Shannon Johnson right up his clacker and Anthony Gobert quickly up to 3rd place ahead of Dan Stauffer and Glenn Allerton
1245 - Just went and had a word with Brookesy about the knee he damaged in that crash yesterday. He said it certainly hurts but won't hold him back at all in the races which is good news
