In the Cat 4 race, Jos Busby, Lloyd Cassidy and Martyn Morris stayed active at the front. Multiple attacks were made before Busby and Cassidy hit the last lap in great positions.
But Cassidy had a rider veer suddenly across his line as he and Busby missed out.
The Cat 3 race saw Gareth Harvey and James Beechey take to the track. Harvey in particular was aggressive and was often forcing the pace on.
Half way through, eight riders got clear with the chasing pack too busy attacking each other. Harvey organised a chase down and the bunch started to work.

That spelled the end for Beechey as five of the eight riders were brought to heel. Harvey was still active on the front right up until three laps to go when he suffered a puncture.
The Elite Cat 1 and 2 race saw Jered Allcock play it smart in the conditions and conserve the power. Three riders broke clear and Allcock had to settle for sixth place.
