Nero Bolt Aiming To Fly At Mandurah

By Stuart Turner

Nick Minutillo may enjoy a good night at Mandurah on Saturday with two of his hopefuls looking among the ones to back.

Trainer Minutillo’s flying greyhound Nero Bolt jumps from box four in race five (490m) aiming to continue his impressive recent form.

The son of Lochinvar Marlow and Lochinvar Coco has won his last two trips over this distance at Mandurah and should make it three here.

He is stepping up in class here but is a dependable performer and can secure another victory here.

Much-travelled veteran Truly Loyal (box three) looks to be improving after transferring to WA recently and could be a decent value pick here.

Meanwhile, Molfetta Boy should also score a win for Minutillo from box seven in race seven (490m).

The greyhound has a poor record from out wide but is racing very well at the moment and has the class to at least challenge here.

Classy Blinker’s On hit trouble last week but is much better than his seventh place finish here indicates and is the pick in race three (647m).

The gun Victorian (box three) has been impressive over the 647m since heading west earlier this year and is usually very strong from the inside boxes.

Lexia Isaac’s kennel has been flying this year and she could earn two wins here with Fun Boss (race two) and Jamaica The Fun in race eight.

Fun Boss has built a super record in 2015 and box five should not be a problem here as he is solid enough from the middle boxes.

Jamaica The Fun (box seven) goes for the hat-trick here after two good wins over the 490m at Mandurah in recent weeks.

She has an uninspiring record from out wide but should have enough speed to cut across and take this.

Weston Dossy is having a first start over the 647m here but is in decent form for trainer Chris Halse so may be worth considering as a value shot in race nine.

Thirteen races are on the packed Mandurah card and action starts at 9.05pm (local time).
