Mister Twister, whose career is back on track thanks to a tonsillectomy, will target next month's Globe Memorial Richmond Riches Puppy Classic following his dashing Wentworth Park win on Saturday night.
Mister Twister led throughout in near record time of 29.24 at The Gardens on April 18 and was equally impressive on Saturday, leading all the way in a slick 29.93.
"Mister Twister was clocking 29.80 around Wentworth Park as a juvenile but earlier this year he could not get under 30 seconds," the greyhound's trainer Jason Mackay said.
"He was getting to the line poorly and I figured it was a problem with his tonsils so had them removed. Since the operation he is going better than ever and as he was sold at the Richmond Puppy Auction he is eligible for their Classic series which begins with heats on May 12.
"So I will bring him back to Wenty next Saturday then take him to Richmond for a race there before the heats.
"The final is worth $100,000 so it is certainly a race worth winning."
A mix-up over nominations means Chase The Cash will miss next Saturday night's heats of the Group 3 Ladies Bracelet at Wentworth Park.
Instead Chase The Cash, who took her record to five wins and four placings from 11 starts on Saturday, will contest the final of the Moreira At Stud Series over 520m.
"I had intended entering my greyhound for last Wednesday's meeting but missed nominating because of the public holiday on Easter Monday," Chase The Cash's trainer Craig Watts said after the greyhound's impressive 30.14 win on Saturday.
"So I put her in tonight's race and then discovered it was a heat and final so Chase The Cash is now committed to contesting the Moreira At Stud run-off on Saturday instead of the Bracelet heats."
Rita's Boy and Glengarrie Boy landed a winning double for trainer Mark Gatt at Wentworth Park on Saturday night.
Rita's Boy bungled the start but assisted by a dream rails run at the first turn, roared home to win in a smart 30.07.
Meanwhile, Glengarrie Boy, who had led early but finished sixth at Wentworth Park on April 12, was not headed in his 30.44 win.
"We don't know what happened to him on April 12, he was in front and next minute he ran off the track near the catching pen," the trainer's brother, kennel foreman Daniel Gatt said.
"Maybe Glengarrie Boy thought the race was over when he saw the pen or perhaps it was the heavy track that night.
"Rita's Boy is very strong and has a good turn of foot but our only worry with him is that while he begins smartly everywhere else, he has missed the jump in each of his three Wenty races."
Also snaring a double on Saturday night was trainer Christine Proctor, who won with Sound Advice and Chevy King.
Sound Advice led all the way in 30.13, while Chevy King followed his Group 3 New Sensation victory with an all-the-way success in top grade.
"Although he won the New Sensation it was a big step up in grade for or him tonight," Proctor's husband Alan said.
"He just keeps surprising us, he has got some much stronger at the end of 520m without having lost any of his early zip.
"When we first raced Chevy King at Wentworth Park he would lead and get tired but he has improved. But Christine does not give her dogs a long hard preparation before bringing them to the city.
"She gives them a couple of post-to-post hand-slips at Wenty and then puts them in a 520m race, so quite often they acquire more stamina as their career progresses."
See you next week!
