Fun Boss can push his career earnings over the $230,000 mark with victory in the feature race at Cannington on Saturday night – the Greyhounds WA Anniversary Cup (race 5, 520m).
The Cheryl Isaac-trained greyhound jumps from box three in the high-quality $13,500-to-the-winner decider looking to add another chapter to his brilliant career.
Fun Boss qualified for the cup with a super 29.99 win from box two in last week’s heats. He looks favourably drawn in box three with average starters Cosmic Malteze (box one) and Who’s Got Snoop (box two) inside of him.
Penny Monelli (box eight) looks the biggest danger, having won four of her last five races as well as both her previous starts wearing the pink rug.
Kennelmate Monaro Monelli (box six) was the fastest qualifier in 29.93 – in arguably the hardest qualifier – and with two wins and three minor placings with the green rug also appears a winning hope.
