As the 2008 International Six Days Enduro begins entering its final stages, Blake Hore has again improved his position on Day 4, moving up to 36th position outright.

After finishing 35th outright after Day 1, Blake has put in three consistent efforts over the following days to pretty much maintain his position.

The Australian Junior Trophy team, of which Blake is a member, are on track for a second place finish after holding onto their second position for the third consecutive day. They face a monumental task to overhaul the Italians in first spot, but a second place finish would be a fitting reward.

As the event goes on, Chris Hollis goes from strength to strength. After improving five positions on Day 3, he again moved up five positions to sit 16th outright.

That result came on the back of some very good early form on Day 4, finishing 6th in the second test of the day. He rounded out the day with solid performances in the fifth and sixth tests, finishing 10th and 17th respectively.

Four-time world Champion Stefan Merriman consolidated his place inside the Top 10, sitting sixth outright.

Like Blake, Junior Trophy team mate Jarrod Bewley put in another solid days riding and was rewarded, moving up two places to 33rd outright. Both Blake and Jarrod have been the cornerstones of the Junior Trophy team.

Glenn Kearney again proved that he would have been right amongst the top riders had it not been for the hiccup on day three, making ground on the leaders to finish the day in 37^th overall and 18^th in the E2 class.

Kirk Hutton continued his good form to move into 41st overall and 11th in the E1 class, while Ben Kearney and AJ Roberts finished the fourth day in 47th and 48th on the Outright standings.

The other Australian Trophy Team riders continued to improve in the sweltering conditions, with Andrew Lloyd moving into 65^th Outright and 20th in the E3 class, and Geoff Braico climbing to 89th.

MA’s Development Team is still doing well with Nicholas Beattie into 91st, Mark Goggin sitting in 101st and Luka Bussa currently 113th. The team retained its overnight fourth placing.
