Topinka clipped the fence on the back straight in heat 1 allowing Ricky to pass
him. The Tigers reserves gated ahead in heat 2 and while Adam Allott pressed
guest Jordan Frampton for 3 laps passing never was his strong point. Daniel
Nermark was leading heat 3 when he fell on the second turn gifting the points
to the Tigers. Joel passed Adam on the second lap on heat 4 but couldn't catch
Chris Mills. André sped into the lead in heat 5 with Cooperman passing
Topinka on the pits turn to make it another 5-1 and the Tigers sitting on a
14 point lead.
Ben Wilson rounded the field to win heat 6 with Ricky claiming second spot.
Daniel Nermark won heat 7 on a tactical ride but his partner Trevor Harding
was passed by Jordan Frampton down the back straight. Ben Wilson took another
win in heat 8 with James Cockle holding up under pressure from Paul Lee. André
and Cooperman grabbed another maximum in heat 9, and Ricky won heat 10 from
Daniel Nermark leaving the Tigers 25 points ahead.
Topinka got the better of Joel to win heat 11 and the 'Stars' pulled two
points back with Paul Lee finishing ahead of Jordan. The lead was restored in
heat 12 with André leading home from Daniel and James taking to odd point
ahead of Adam. Ricky took the flag in heat 13 ahead of Topinka after trading
places with him on every bend on the first lap. Joel was third ahead of Chris
to extend the Tigers lead, but heat 14 was drawn after Trevor Harding made a
lightning start. Topinka gated ahead in heat 15 but was passed by both Tigers
down the back straight. A 31 point advantage to defend at Saddlebow Road in
the second leg. We'll see what the Tigers are made of...
A dismal display by the team which finished at the top of the Premier League
table. Four heat wins, and three second places was all they could manage. Have
they run out of steam?
