There was no lead swapping at Nerang mate, Caroline blew them away. Even in the second round when she got a little unco in the rhythm she still hauled and came out on top! Caroline will be hard to beat at Melba!

Don't believe everything you read I guess. Fridays final Caroline smashed them by a mile after sweeping into the first turn first.
On Saturday she did get out of shape down the 3rd straight and Lauren passed her into the corner before Caroline high/low'd her and out rode her down the straight with RB in hot pursuit. Watch the vids on www.goreysvids.com.au
