no fluke when scoring by a length from Derby favourite Fear Me
in 29.21.
Heat 5.
Westmead Hawk looks back to his brilliant best
after taking this in a fastest of the night 29.10. The Hawk, who

25th Mar 06
Next Tuesday's TV Trophy looks like
being a classic and 4 Trainers from this website are
represented. Here, talking exclusively to greyhoundtrainers.com
they give us their thoughts on this year's Final.
Rosshill View.
This is my first SKY TV Finalist and this has been her target
for some time. She was the second fastest qualifier when winning
her Heat but Roxholme Girl and Greenacre Lin are superstars! If
she can be handy early on she stays really well so will have
half a chance. I'm just delighted to be in the Final.
Chris Allsopp.
Greenacre Lin.
She is in exceptional condition and has recovered from her Heat
very well indeed. She should improve too as she always seems to
run a track better after having had one look. She's housed in
one again but the traps at Belle Vue are slightly off the fence
and that should help her.
Brian Clemenson.
Shes The Deal.
We're well drawn in 6 so have no complaints there but we do have
two exceptional greyhounds to beat. Greenacre Lin and Roxholme
Girl did almost identical splits in their Heats, and whilst you
never want trouble in a race, there is a chance they wont have
it they're own way up front. This has been a great race for me,
winning it 3 times in the last 4 years and I'm thrilled to be in
the Final again this year.
Paul Young.
Roxholme Girl.
The bitch is in fine form. We would much preferred to have been
drawn inside of Greenacre Lin and that is our only worry. That
said, on Semi-Final form you have to say Roxholme Girl is the
one they all have to beat.
Carly Philpott.
25th Mar 06

odds of 10/1.

Jordans Glory followed his recent win in front of the SKY
cameras with a victory over ante-post favourite Sofem in the
