Jason Magri’s star duo poised for Bulli Gold Cup redemption
In an awaited showdown, renowned trainer Jason Magri is set to stage a comeback at the highly anticipated Group 2 Bulli Gold Cup Final taking place this Friday evening.
Following his disappointment at the Gosford Gold Cup, he unfortunately had to withdraw the bookmaker favourite Zipping Novak due to injury.
Magri's determination has been ignited, driving him towards triumph in this $40,000 to the winner event.
Magri's resurgence is fuelled by the performances of his star pair, Zipping Megatron and Comet A Cost, with both showcasing their excellence with heat victories Sunday.
Zipping Megatron returned from a break since November and displayed its prowess with a lightning-fast 25.81s win in heat 1.
Meanwhile, Comet A Cost continued its dominance at Bulli by securing a commanding 25.88s triumph in heat 2, defeating Good Odds Cobber by 5.25 lengths.
Jason Magri's exceptional success at Bulli is clearly evident from his track record over the past five years.
He has emerged as the top trainer on this circuit, boasting an astonishing 117 victories out of 264 starters—a remarkable strike rate of 44 percent.
The Bulli Gold Cup Final promises competition as each of the eight finalists carries odds below double figures.
Zipping Megatron, drawn from box 4, currently holds favouritism, with odds of +340 with the leading greyhound betting sites, closely followed by Good Odds Cobber—the Gosford Gold Cup winner from box 3 with odds of +360.
Comet A Cost, who is in box 8, has a chance of challenging at +450.
