Tuesday night's racing was the second round of the wheelrace series and the Betta Frames and Trusses Wheelrace did not disappoint.
The women's field was again quality.
The first round of the series saw the women's wheelrace larger than the men's.
The second round featured very-highly credentialed riders with handicaps considered to make for some tight racing.
Australian Sprint record holder Tyler Puzicha lined up against dual national Champion Haylee Fuller.
The in-form Isabelle Russel was off the back mark while Emily Williams started only 20 metres in front of her.
However, it was former dual Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist Megan Reakes who returned, after a lengthy period off the bike, to get under the eye of the handicappers and take out the race comfortably.
Reakes won took home two gold medals from the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India, securing the two medals in the points race and scratch race at the age of 19.
It was a Fuller-a-thon for the minor positions with Haylee, Imogen and Makayla all featuring.
