Form

The favourite:
Glenn Allerton – Allerton won two of three races last year at Queensland Raceway, but missed out on the podium overall following a race one incident. Both of his teammates have won rounds this year, so now’s time for the current ASBK champion to make his mark on the series.

The threat:
Wayne Maxwell/Troy Herfoss – Maxwell will be strong once again and should benefit from the heavy braking areas at the venue, while Herfoss won on the Saturday last year in the same team at Honda on the CBR1000RR. The title as it stands is between the pair, so this round will be another important one.

The darkhorse:
Cru Halliday/Mike Jones – Halliday is coming off a career-first victory at Sydney Motorsport Park and should carry a lot of confidence into the Queensland round. For Jones, the potent ZX-10R will help him out on the sizable straights in what is his home circuit on the schedule.
