HEAT DETAILS
Heat 1: Harris, Adams, Barker, Zengota, 65.12 (2-4)

Heat 2 (re-run): Gathercole, Sweetman, Sitera, Sedgmen (FX), 67.30 (5-7)
Sedgmen overdoes it on bend two of lap two and falls. Gathercole gates on the re-run to win, helpful considering that Robins were on the end of a 5-1 in the firstattempt.

Heat 4: Schlein, Gathercole, Korneliussen, Sitera, 66.43 (11-13)
Schlein wins it fairly easily. Gathercole looks sharp but Korneliussen's pace is a worry.
Heat 5: Harris, Barker, Stead, Risager, 66.59 (12-18)
Stead almost comes off at the first bend and loses lots of time. Coventry duo not troubled.
Heat 6: Zengota, Adams, Schlein, Sweetman, 66.65 (17-19)
A much-needed 5-1 for the Robins that is sealed from the gate.
Heat 7: Pawlicki, Kennett, Sedgmen, Korneliussen (FX), 67.89 (18-24)
Korneliussen crashes in exactly the same way as Sedgmen did in two, Sedgmen has a go at Kennett in the re-run but cannot get past.
