STARS TO SHINE AT CANNINGTON
Tonight’s program at Cannington has drawn together some of the most exciting chasers in the nation, all in the same spot at the same time!
WA Sprint champion Tommy Shelby competes in a Free To All over the 520 metres, WA Distance Championship winner Flake Monelli competes in a Free To All over the 715 metres and up and coming star Sunset Spitfire will be looking to run sub 29.50 seconds for the third straight time in the opener.
Tommy Shelby produced one of the smartest victories of his career at his most recent performance in the WA Sprint Championship Final overcoming early checking and an awkward map before imposing himself in to the contest.
He cleared out late for a 3.5 length win in 29.82 seconds.
He has come up with box 8 for tonight’s assignment, a draw he has had twice for a win and placing.
With clear running the son of Fernando Bale and Serena Fly High again looks mighty hard to stop.
Similarly star stayer Flake Monelli heads in to tonight’s Free To All over 715 metres as the testing material.
The daughter of Fernando Bale and Dyna Sandy cruised home in the WA Distance Championship Final by 3 lengths in a new personal best time of 41.54 seconds.
Flake Monelli thrives off an inside box draw having had 12 starts from boxes 1 and 2 for 10 wins and a placing.
Trainer Dave Hobby is potentially in for a stellar evening as his up and coming star Sunset Spitfire heads around in a Novice over the 520 metres to commence the night of chasing.
Sunset Spitfire has created an enormous impression at his first two career outings stopping the clock in a sizzling 29.45 seconds at both career performances.
The identical time this son of Mepunga Blazer and Sunset Jessie has run in consecutive starts is a time standard reserved for the most elite of sprinters to have ever raced at the Cannington circuit and he is a genuine excitement machine.
On what is a stellar night of greyhound racing my best bets are race 3 number 7 We The People, Race 5 number 1 Up and About each way, race 7 number 7 Star Book and race 9 number 1 Max Beau.
