2014 Group Two Bob Payne Spring Sprint Final Preview

Eight talented greyhounds will line up in tonight’s Group Two Bob Payne Spring Sprint Final, with the winner set to collect $40,000 for connections.

Victorian runner Allen Deed sizzled around the Wentworth Park circuit last week in 29.43 and will exit from box four tonight for trainer Andrea Dailly. After getting off to a slow start, the son of Jarvis Bale and Greta Bale accelerated away in the back straight, clocking a blistering run home of 11.51.

Recent Group One Dapto Megastar winner Tommy Brislane continued his winning ways last week, leading all the way in 29.64. Megastar runner up Ritza Hattie returned to the winners circle, narrowly defeating Rue De Kahn in 29.75.

The box draw will play its usual part in tonight’s final, with Ritza Hattie and Tommy Brislane coming across from wide draws. Rue De Kahn has drawn ideally near the rails, whilst Allen Deed will need to avoid trouble exiting from box four. After returning to his best last week, Evil Punk will figure at the finish and can post smart time at this track.

The final will be run and won at 9.57pm.
