After the first round shocks, Reculver Ozzie is now the one to beat in the William Hill Springbok, which has its semi-finals over 480 metre hurdles at Wimbledon on Friday.
Barry O’Sullivan’s runner was easily the fastest heat winner when beating Julius George by just over three lengths in 29.35sec.
Julius George, who has made giant strides over jumps in recent weeks, re-opposes and can provide the forecast link.
Local kennels are well to the fore in the second qualifier with four runners and Jason Foster’s Priceless Sun is expected to come out on top after his impressive 29.78sec heat victory.
