Wootton trails Symmonds in the points chase however hopes to get the upper hand this weekend, while much improved Hobart rider Kenny Dunk (Yamaha R6) and Latrobe veteran James Abey (Honda CBR600RR) will also be looking for a slice of the action at the front.

He currently lies 12th overall in the points chase after some solid results at Wakefield Park Raceway, near Goulburn NSW, in round 1.
