Jack Kennedy continued his Supersport domination as he powered to a win by 8.266secs over Appleyard Macadam’s Harry Truelove.
From pole, Mar-Train Racing rider hit the front as soon as the lights changed and wasn’t troubled for the remaining 12 laps.
Truelove kept in touch for a few laps but the gap soon began to creep up between him and Kennedy, as he had to fight to keep Gearlink Kawasaki’s Luke Stapleford at bay.
Stapleford eventually took third, with leading GP2 rider Jack Scott fifth and Bradley Perie fifth.
Korie McGreevy was the second GP2 rider home in ninth position, with Harvey Claridge third, in 14th.
