Day Of Upsets At Canberra Greyhounds

In a nine race card at on Sunday, it was an afternoon which saw many favourites get rolled, allowing some punters to go home cashed up.

The opening event, heat one of the WWP 310 Maiden heats saw Rapid Guy Luke, who had been producing good early toe over the 440metre starts begin odds on favourite.

It was Imposing Blonde however who showed the early dash, and when the fawn bitch was unable to hold the rails run at the first turn, John Boy for Arthur Jenkins made the most of the opening to scoot away and break his maiden in 18.22 over King's Prize and Smart Soldier.

Heat two, saw first starter for , Saroma's Idle also made the most of a rail run after a mix up at the first turn, beating and Leverage to secure their place in next weekend's final.

After just getting pipped last week, Berella Ciata went one better on Sunday night, leading from start to finish the red fawn bitch beat home and Jada Kain, all three place getters likely starters in this week's Canberra Mower Services Cup.

One of the very few favourites to secure a win on Sunday was , taking out race five over kennelmate , who just picked up second by a head in front of Teddy Two Bucks, the winner posting the BON 17.86.

The feature final of the evening, The Doug MacKechnie Maiden 530m Final, went the way of Cawbourne Jake who managed to sneak up on early leader Intellectual on the line to snatch the victory in 30.99, a neck over Intellectual, Semenya coming in third.

After running second to Puddy Muddle in the recent Winnebago Classic heats, Martini returned to Canberra and posted her first win on the Nation's Capital circuit taking out the final event on the card in 30.84 over Five To Life and Izmir's Warrior.
