Race 3
Rea completed his hat-trick at the Australian circuit by winning the last race of the day ahead of Andrew Pitt and Simon Andrews.
At the start of the final event for the riders Shannon Johnson was unable to take part after his KTM refused to start, leaving him watching from the sidelines.
Rea took to the front as the race got underway leading Lowry, Seeley and Pitt. Seeley was out of the race by lap 4 as he came off his machine at the final corner. As Lowry stayed with the race leader the battle for third place was going on behind between Pitt, McWilliams, Stauffer and Andrews.
At just over the halfway mark, Lowry was forced to stop on track after losing his exhaust, he managed to rejoin the race but finished way down the field in twelfth place.
As Rea led Lowry by a comfortable 2 second margin, Stauffer sat in third until Andrews decided to challenge him for the position, passing with ease at the final corner on the penultimate lap.
