Rio Kelly outgunned Lewin Scarffe in the bunch sprint for sixth and Hannah Spencer overtook Summer Curphey in the closing stages to claim the girls' award in 12th spot.
Notching up his seventh success of the series, Ivan Sorby rode clear of breakaway partner Zachary Dowson for a clear victory the born 2006 event. Cian Jackson was too quick for Corey Peters in the rush for third and Owen Collins escaped from the chasing pack to secure fifth.

Cameron Dudley and Toby Craig broke free from a five-strong chasing group to take third and fourth respectively, with Joshua Dudley hanging onto fifth ahead of the fast closing quartet consisting of Nathan Slack, Callum Crellin, Nancy Wheeler (1st girl) and Kiera Prentice.
Percy Hampton had to fend off a strong challenge from Jonty Bregazzi for a hard earned victory in the born 2003 age group. Matthew Black got the verdict over Chad Maghill and Tyler Hannay in the bunch sprint for third and Darcy Cain collected the girls' prize in tenth spot. Further down the field Joshua Glover salvaged 18th position after crashing on the finishing straight while contesting fourth place.
