DOG RACING

PUNTERS can enjoy a top evening of action at Walthamstow tonight (Thursday) with complete variety on the 14 race card.

The race 11 stayers could be one of the highlights of the evening, where the Mark Wallis trained NGRC Stewards Cup winner Aero Blackjack will be looking to step up his preparations for the heats of the Duffy Group Test at the Chingford Road track.

This home raider is well housed in five and will be looking to build on last week's impressive four-length victory in 39.48secs.

Sam Poots' Ballymac Weeshie in one has been running at Hove of late, although always does well on his travels and produced an impressive 39.55secs when trialing at the Stow recently.

Pennys Viktor in six was beaten by Aero Blackjack in the Stewards Cup final, although ran well that night after producing a useful 39.45secs.

Paul Garland's Stow stayer always finishes well and he could be ready to pounce if any trouble unfolds in front of him.

Prior to that the race two hurdles also looks set to throw up some highly competitive action.

Westminsterpearl secured a four lengths win in 29.59secs in a H1 contest last week and is more than capable of landing more success with a similar performance this time as well.

Winkys Don in two has also tasted victory at the Stow on his last two outings, so shouldn't be overlooked.

Bubbly Magic, while finishing third last week still produced a very fast 29.39secs and a similar performance could set up a real thriller between this trio.

The race nine marathon should also throw up a close contest, although Wishyouwerehere in one looked very impressive when winning last Thursday in 53.29secs.

The 880m track record holder, Ebony Ocean, in six and Swift Maybole in three, who is looking to land a hat-tirck at three different tracks on the spin following wins at Hove and Coventry should be in with a good shout as well.
