2015 Group Two Gosford Gold Cup Final Preview

GOSFORD greyhound track is the place to be this night, with the running of the Woy Woy Poultry Final, with successful connections set to receive $40,000 in prize money.

Last year's event was taken out by Awesome Project, who's now dominating the Victorian racing circuit.

Zipping Willow will start a short priced favourite for Hunter Valley trainer Jason Mackay, after a sizzling all the way display last week in 29.48. Ideally drawn near the rails, this specialist will be looking to notch up her thirty fifth career win and crack the $200,000 prize money barrier.

Last week's fastest final qualifier Are Jip is awkwardly drawn in box five, however will only need some luck in running to challenge this field. The Kristy Sultana- trained chaser clocked a near record time of 29.36 in his heat and will have plenty of support on Friday night from punters.

Mentioned by many as one of the greatest Gosford Cup fields ever assembled, all eight greyhounds have a considerably strong chance of securing the win, and kicking off their 2015 racing campaign in style.

The final will be run and won at 9.37pm EDST.
