Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

  • 1439 - Blake Leigh-Smith ends up taking the win by 5 seconds over Rigoli, Galvin the veteran takes 3rd place, Andrew Willy 4th, Tim Inkster 5th, Rhys Moller 6th and Jordan Coleman remounted to work his way back up to 7th just ahead of Paul Campbell. Thompson 9th while Gleave rounded out the top ten.
  • 1434 - Blake Leigh-Smith leading now by nearly a full second as Rigoli tries to hold on. Coleman in front of Galvin through the corners but he can then seemingly easily blast past on the straights.  Coleman put up a good fight before rolling off into the sand after losing it under brakes trying to make up for his lack of straight line speed
  • 1430 - Smith went through the left hander what must have been 10kph faster than Rigoli that time around to take the lead. WA youngster Jordan Coleman climbing all over the back of Galvin
  • 1429 - 6 laps to run and Leigh-Smith all over the back of Rigoli as they start lap three.  Hatton and Panayi went for a slide down the road together
  • 1428 - Have the pace looks to be an understatement as he went past Galvo around the outside as though he was standing still and was on the back of Rigoli only a couple of corners later.
  • 1427 - Blake Leigh-Smith working his way forward and up to 3rd place as they start lap two, he looks to have the pace to close down Galvin and Rigoli also if he remains upright
  • 1426 - Tom Hatton bogged down on the line terribly but no such dramas for Brent Rigoli who started to pull away from the field almost immediately from Peter Galvin and Chris Panayi
  • 1424 - No rain falling right now but track very wet. The 125 race might become a case of last man standing...
  • 1423 - 125 GP bikes leaving pit lane now on their formation lap. We really need to make up some time on the schedule here today or we are going to be racing in the dark by the time the final Superbike race comes up
