  • 1046 - The race win goes to Blake Leigh-Smith by 10 seconds while Andrew Willy pipped Chris Panayi on the line for second place. Peter Galvin put in a last lap charge to get the better of Jordan Coleman for 4th place, Peter Scott 6th, Tom Hatton 7th, Tim Inkster 8th then it was Gleave, Rigoli, Moller, Campbell, Wilkinson, Metcher and Thompson
  • 1044 - Something went down on the penultimate lap as Blake Leigh-Smith suddenly had a lead of more than ten seconds as Vincent Bell seemed to have slipped off somewhere and Chris Panayi and Andrew Willy had managed to push young Jordan Coleman back to 4th place
  • 1041 - 3 laps to run and Panayi just pushed Galvin back to 5th but young Blake Leigh-Smith still the quickest man out in front with a 2 second gap over Bell, Coleman still 3rd
  • 1038 - Young Blake Leigh Smith the leader with five laps to run and pulling away from Vincent Bell while Jordan Coleman had also got the better of Galvin to take 3rd place with 4 laps to run as the drizzle continued to fall at Winton
  • 1037 - 125 GP race underway now and it was Brent Rigoli and Chris Panayi the early protagonists out in front before both men went down on the entry to the pit straight before even getting to start the second lap. Vincent Bell inherited the lead with a 1.5 second gap over the now second placed Peter Galvin who in turn had more than 2 seconds on WA youngster Tom Hatton. The even younger Blake Leigh Smith was having a good battle over 5th place with the equally young Jordan Coleman but after Cath Thompson fell from 4th place with six laps to run that battle became a tussle over 4th place and then a battle for 3rd place after the pair got the better of Tom Hatton to push the Allect Racing rider back to 5th. Chris Panayi was busy working his way forward after that crash late on the first lap and with six laps to run had promoted himself back up to 6th place ahead of Peter Scott and Andrew Willy.
