Defending champion Cameron Stronach will be hard to beat in the superbike division, with Anthony McFadden the only one who could beat him. But if Stronach does succeed it will be his third consecutive WA Superbike title.

McFadden, who returned to racing two years ago after a 14-year break, is 65 points behind on 209, with Ben Stronach (196) and Chris Brown (186) fighting for third place.

In the B-grade superbike series, Brown has a 25-point lead over Ashley Fleming on 222, who is just nine points clear of New Zealand’s Adam Chambers, while in the C- grade series, Tim Simmons leads on 247 points, just four clear of Mike Howden and Neil Fraser.
