Reigning champion Chaz Mostert<\/a> is the first to punch a ticket to Sandown courtesy of a dominant victory in the Surfers Paradise opener.<\/a><\/p>\n

Seven of the 10 Finals contenders finished the rain-hit 250km race inside the top 10.<\/p>\n

The three who did not \u2013 Kai Allen<\/a>, Ryan Wood<\/a> and Jack Le Brocq<\/a> \u2013 are now in danger of being eliminated following Sunday\u2019s race.<\/p>\n

Allen has dropped into the elimination zone after finishing in last place after being forced into a third pit stop for a new battery.<\/p>\n

Wood was just 14th having struggled for speed throughout, while Le Brocq finished 22nd after being spun early by Cam Hill.<\/p>\n

Matt Payne<\/a> continues to lead the standings following a third place finish in today\u2019s race, but is not yet locked in despite his gap to the cut-line.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s due to the \u2018win and-you\u2019re in\u2019 provision that will again be in play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Action at the Gold Coast 500 continues on Sunday with qualifying at 11:20am AEST followed by the Top 10 Shootout at 12:05pm AEST. Race 2 of the weekend is slated for 2:45pm AEST.<\/p>\n
