Daniel Falzon would be the best of the rest but couldn’t beat the local knowledge of Jones. He scored dual second place finishes and is confident that he can take the fight to Jones at the next round in Perth.

Chas Hern made it to Morgan Park after scraping enough cash together to race his EBR. He started on the front row and would go onto finish third in race 1. He fell in race two but was able to continue albeit at the back of the field.

The new track that was tight, twisty and bumpy caused a few problems for some riders. This off track excursion was a minor blip for Stephen Benjack
