7 laps clockwise with strong headwind up the main straight a big group 1 were given 4 min handicap and were not caught by about 1 min maybe due to several strong riders giving a good draft up the main straight.
Spud was quickest in 39.10min, Mike and Graeme next in 39.12 and Bevan 39.55. From Group1 Crunchie, Greg, Ian, Don and Ben all close in just over 42min.
