Top stayers of Australia were expected to grace the Hawkins Media Solutions Superstayers 710m last night. These top stayers were four and included proven performer Chinatown Lad from box one, in-form bitch Fallen Zorro in box three, the Robert Britton-trained Gunnadoo Magic in box five, and one of Queensland’s top bitches Nicely Done in box seven.
Last year, the $22,000 race was won by Sky Hazzard, a southern star greyhound, came from box seven. Hazzard outwitted Miss Grub, 2007 Brisbane Greyhound of the Year.
This year, the competition was believed to be stiff as all four contenders were at their best, in their own way.
Nicely Done was with a home-turf advantage, having 31 starts at Albion Park, out of these, 11 are over 710m. However, Done was to face a challenged ahead of her with Chinatown Lad and Fallen Zorro on her inside.
Chinatown Lad and Fallen Zorro have almost the same experience, only have started at Albion Park twice. But the former has won both times, with her best time 49.91. The latter also seemed potential with a strong best time of 42.44 in Brisbane.
While Robert Britton-trained Gunnadoo Magic has already proven she has what it takes for beating Fallen Zorro and Chinatown before. But, at Albion Park, she has only raced once and unfortunately ended up at fifth place.
All four contenders were expected to perform at their best to win the prizemoney and to gain prestige as well for being the winner in one of the Australian greyhound racing industry’s iconic distance races.
