This narrows the racing line which catches out 350, 469 and 375. 515 takes advantage and nips up the inside of 446 in the melee. Next time around Frankie takes the lead. At 5 to go 580 gets a tankslapper on the home straight in front of the leader. Frankie has a split second to choose the right side to get through. 446 and 166 engage in battle near race end. As 515 takes the win 5 and 82 dice for position as they come to the line. Charlie on the outside eases Karl towards the infield as they cross the line.
