  • 0951 - Andrews again the winner, Trounson home second and on the last lap it must have been Houwen's time to have a moment as he lost a lot of time on that final lap to finish a further three seconds down in third...
  • 0950 - Trounson must have had a big moment on the penultimate lap, he lost a lot of time that lap, Andrews now enjoys a 3.3 second buffer and Trounson is being attacked by Houwen again... Bonthorne down at turn six
  • 9499 - Andrews maintaining his lead at 2.2 seconds and not streaking away like he did yesterday.  Trounson has pulled away from Houwen to the tune of a few bike lengths.  Trounson with a new fastest lap of the race, the gap to the leader down to 1.58 seconds now with two laps to run
  • 0948 - Bonthorne and McConnell having a major tussle over sixth place, thought that it was going to end in tears there for a second when Bonthorne tried to force his way into a gap up the inside that really wasn't there
  • 0947 - Trounson picking up pace now and Houwen is struggling to stay with him, that pair have left Brewster and Quinn now to battle over fourth position
  • 0946 - Trounson back up to second place now, Andrews leads by 2.15 seconds, Houwen third, Brewster fourth, Quinn fifth, McConnell sixth, Bonthorne seventh, Sciberras eighth
  • 0945 - Andrews leads by 1.87 seconds over Houwen now and Houwen has his hands full with Trounson, Brewster and Quinn with that four in a tight knit group battling for position
  • 0944 - Houwen has got the better of Trounson for second place but Andrews took 8-tenths out of them on the opening lap, he took a second and a half out of them on every one of the first three laps yesterday so things a little closer today
  • 0943 - Superstockers are away.... Will anyone be able to challenge Andrews today....?  He leads them through turn one and is pulling away again on what looks as though it could be a repeat performance for the Adelaide man on his GSX-R
