HOLLAND STARLETS LOOK READY FOR DUNSTALL TEST
Ian Fortune
The Premier Greyhound Racing Uk Oaks gets underway this weekend and it seems like Graham Holland will have a big say in the classic after his four-strong team moved well at the Wolverhampton venue on Saturday night.
Newinn Uganda continued her rise to superstardom with a standard setting 27.90 success in the first of the Oaks Tial Stakes, while Bombay Special ran a big race in defeat after completely missing the kick.
Ahead of racing both Fahrenheit Jess and Ballydoyle Tina both trialled well, although the latter did give connections a fright but turning in boxes. She would trial at the end of the session after turning in boxes but there was no repeat of her dramatics the second time she went to traps and proceeded to post a decent 28.17. Fahrenheit Jess posted 28.22.
The draw for the Oaks will be made in the coming days with the opening round scheduled for Saturday night. The competition will run over four weekends with the decider pencilled in for Saturday, October 24th.
