Tobi traps from gate 3 with Brady Kurtz and Kyle in close attendance but Dan Brennan left at the gate with a broken chain. No passing. Connor Bailey rounds the field to lead heat 2. No passing. Jaimon Lidsey traps to win heat 3 with Josh holding off challenges from Charles Wright and Adam seemingly reluctant to try a wide line. Tai makes no mistake on his return to the British Leagues to lead heat 4 from hard chasing Dan Bewley. He tries the mid-track line off the last bend and is nearly caught on the line. (See for yourself on '2023 Season Review' DVD from Clear Cut Sports). Tobi is slow away from gate 4 in heat 5 but switches to the inside joining his captain down the back straight. Charles falls on the second lap at the back of the field while Jaimon moves out wide and finds lots of drive. Belle Vue lead by 2 points.

The Tigers gate in heat 6 and Tai looks over his shoulder 3 times before letting Lewis through to the lead. Lewis rides high and wide and if anything Tai struggles to keep up. See the DVD! . Bewley and Adam trap in heat 7 and Adam works the outside line to take and hold the lead. Josh dives under Norick at the start of the second lap and holds onto 3rd place to extend the Tigers lead. Heat 8, Aces from the gate. Heat 9 and Tai trapped from gate 2 to win by yards. No passing. Heat 10 sees Tom trap ahead of Josh who goes far too wide and is passed by Brady. Brady's outside line sees him win by yards. Aces now lead by 4.

Tobi is slow from the tapes in heat 11 and Norick Blödorn joins Bewley at the front, only to be passed simultaneously by Kyle on the outside and Tobi inside entering turn 3. That's how they finished. Jaimon wins heat 12. No passing. Big guns all out in heat 13 but Brady lifts on his way to the first bend and Tobi has to avoid him and pulls a locker causing Tai to fall. Ref calls it first bend bunching and all four back but Tai's bike needs to be repaired. Tobi traps in the rerun to but Tai is at the back and then Bewley dives under Tobi into turn 1 on the last lap to steal the win. Tai is back out replacing Dan Gilkes in heat 14 (why not Tobi?) Norick is the surprise winner riding wide and keeping Tai at bay with Charles Wright passing Josh on the third lap. The aggregate point is up for grabs in heat 15 and it's Jaimon and Bewley for the Aces and Tai and Tobi for the Tigers. Tai traps but Jaimon takes the lead on the inside of turn 4. Tai seems slow and gets in Tobi's way and Bewley flies around the outside to claim the bonus point for the Aces.
