Hello dog lovers welcome along to another edition of the weekly wrap!
This week well focus on the Joe Borg trained Come On Fantasy as she lines up for her bid in the $25,000 Group 3 Topcat Video final at The Meadows Saturday night.
Speaking with Joe he said he couldn’t be happier with her, “shes has come through the run great”. “The only concern is box 8, which she has never won from, so we’ll need some luck in the run getting across.” Joe went on to say “shes placed in group races but never won one and it would look great on her resume.” Joe said he is waiting for her to come on season so he retire her.
If she can real off that 4.88 first split like last week she will be a huge chance to be in front and from there who knows what can happen.
best of luck to Joe who also owns her.
Heats and finals
Last week we had 4 Grade 7 390mtr heats run and won! the winner and second place went through to the final, her are the results:
Heat 1: Went to the Cudgee’s Milo who lobbed 4th on jumping and made his way onto the rail before taking over in the straight to beat the fast finishing Zippy Daph in 22.34
Heat 2: was won by the aptly named Super Smarty who recorded the fast heat win in 22.18 beating Pictish Mark who just ran off at the home turn costing himself the win.
Heat 3: Went to the unbeaten Osti’s Sprite who has a devastating burst of speed once he hits the deck. Conclusive was doing his best work late but also run off into the middle of the track.
Heat 4: Elle Driver mad light work of box 5 recording a quick 8.39 early and never headed winning in 22.22, beating Elanora who was solid beaten 1.5l
The Final: Osti’s Sprite from the read and his explosive box speed should see him lead comfortably, Zippy daph will be flying late and Pictish mark wont be far away.
