It was a race with many breaks but non that could establish a big advantage and it kept coming back together and splitting again so it was no surprise when it was all together with 5 laps to go but Sam Jackson (Overplay) and James Dunlop (Biketreks RT) had other ideas and went again and held a good gap at the bell. With ½ lap to go they were busy watching each other and the bunch were closing so Sam took it on a with a long sprint stayed away for a solo win but James was unlucky to get caught on the line by Henry Hunter (Teamwallis) leading in the bunch.
