Group Three Laurie Healion Memorial Final Preview

The Group Three Laurie Healion Memorial Final concludes today at The Garden’s, with $25,000 awaiting successful connections after the race.

Surfection comes into the race as favourite, recording a sizzling 29.68 on debut two weeks ago and will be very hard to hold out from a suitable box three draw. Trained locally by Cliff Clark, owner Cory Clark was given the mother of the greyhound to race and breed with and now is having the time of his life watching this son of Surf Lorian and Teenage Dream, mature into a very smart greyhound.

Invisible and Lightest Touch will challenge for the lead from the outside boxes and Zipping Jacob has been very unlucky at his past two runs and is drawn to perfection in box one.

The final will be race five on today’s card, jumping at 5.08pm.

The odds below are the current fixed odds at Sportingbet, who are also offering a $700 free bet.
