Tommy
Brislane’s Group 2 Bob Payne Spring Sprint victory on Saturday night (September
27) at Wentworth Park, strengthened the two year olds Topgun claims, winning in
29.70.
Jumping
smartly from box six, the Steve White prepared runner outpaced his opposition,
clocking 5.36 to the first mark, before racing off with the $40,000 to the
winner series, leaving his rivals to battle out the placings.
That
was left to Rue De Kahn and Ritza Hattie which chased gallantly, finishing 4 ½ lengths
behind Tommy Brislane.
Trainer
Steve White thanked his family for their on going support and assistance in
preparing the greyhounds along with Owner Geoff Slattery.
“Geoff and I have had some good dogs, but he(Tommy Brislane) is something
special,” White said.
After winning the Group 1 Dapto Megastar at the start of September, White is
hopeful the two year old has now done enough to ensure a Group 1 Topgun start
in October at The Meadows.
Wentworth
Park will head in to its fifth straight week of Group action, with heats of the
Group 3 Bohemia Crystal Sydney Cup (720m) on Saturday, October 4.
