UNANIMOUSPANTHER LANDS THE VOTE IN THE €10,000 TO THE WINNER LEE STRAND 550 FINAL

Barry Drake

The €10,000 to the winner Lee Strand 550 Final is the feature race on what is sure to be a wonderful night in the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium tonight. In truth, the feature race looks like a wide-open contest with plenty holding strong chances.

I'm going to side with Unanimouspanther along the inside of the track for trainer Pat Buckley and owner Ciaran O'Sullivan. The selection has won three of his five career outings and he remains unbeaten in this great event. A best of 29.47 in the opening round, he's well drawn along the inside of the track and if producing his quickest start, he should then take all the beating. Summerfield Air, a 29.67 winner last week, is expected to set the early fractions and the Gerry Holian-trained runner should go well off the front. Deadly Choice, trained by Michael O'Donovan for Garry Hannon, is another that should be in the mix. A 29.74 winner last week, this powerful running tracker will be doing his best running from halfway and he should be in the picture late on. 

With loads of Kids' activities, Fab Raffle Prizes, Medal ceremonies, some great racing with the Lee Strand 550 Final on the card plus the Park FC Buster Prize to be won - kindly sponsored by Lee Strand Milk! It promises to be an outstanding night at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium.
