Bryan Staring might hit his straps on the Crankt Protein Honda and move further up the leaderboard in Sydney.
Michael Blair is somewhat of an SMP specialist and could surprise a few people this weekend, he could certainly do with a break after disastrous rounds in the NT and QLD.
Kyle Buckley makes his return to racing after breaking his ankle in that controversial tumble in Darwin.
Superbike FP1 gets underway at Sydney Motorsports Park at 1050 on Friday with FP2 slated for 1350 and FP3 1530. First Qualifying is scheduled for 1115 on Saturday with the grid then decided in QP2 at 1500. The opening 14-lap race is due to commence at 1100 on Sunday with the second and final Superbike race of the weekend slated to start at 1350. A full complement of support categories will also be on hand to entertain racegoers. Ted Collins is likely to wrap up the Supersport Championship this weekend while the 300 Supersport category will no doubt again produce the most exciting racing of the day.
After we wrap up in Sydney on Sunday the next stop on the 2017 ASBK calendar is the Phillip Island finale over the weekend of October 6-8.
