Droopys Oddysey is already odd-on outright to land the Barrys Tea Stake at Cork and can ease through his semi-final over 750 yards at Cork on Saturday.
Fraser Black’s dog impressively came from last to first to score by over nine lengths in 41.55sec.
He’s drawn in his favourite rails slot and can change gear on the second lap.
Fire Height Amy, the fastest first round winner Fire Height Amy, who clocked 41.51sec, is the main danger, especially if she comes away in her best fashion.
The second semi-final is wide open and a narrow vote is given to Chloes Gina.
John Duggan’s runner completed a treble last week in 41.80sec and will attempt to make all.
42.01sec heat winner Karlow Master and Razldazl Rubin, who beat him last week in 42.02sec, will give her most to do.
