Ravin Rajkumar will lead a group of racers heading into the final segment of the 2016 Grass track Championship at Ogle on Sunday.
Standing strong on 65 points after the first leg, Rajkumar, will have to endure some perfect if not close perfect endings in his races if he is to triumph overall. He is closely followed by Andrew Wong (60pts) in second while tied on 30 points in a distant third are Ray Rajkarin and Steven Nobrega.
The latter definitely is not a contender who should be written off because on a good day he could be more than spectacular as he was when he dominated Aruwai dirt track to win all seven races several months ago.

The event is expected to provide lots of thrills and exhilaration and was yesterday given boost by ANSA McAL through its Stag Beer brand. Due to the beverage company support a raise is now expected in the prize money for each race.
According to event organizer, Shiek Yaseen, prior to Stag’s support cash prices were ranged between $20,000 to $5,000 for the first through to fourth place finishers, however, that will be updated soon since Stag is onboard.
Stag Beer Brand Coordinator Lindon Henry said it is a proud moment for his entity to fund yet another sport event. Races are scheduled to start at 11:00h on Sunday and there will be a total of 11 events.
