Mark Wallis looking to bamboozle in Peterborough Puppy Derby
If a man pointed a gun to your head urging you to pick the winner of the Bettor.com Peterborough Puppy Derby final, it could be wise to choose a Mark Wallis runner considering the trainer’s current form.
Wallis has been on fire so far this season, winning the Betfair Trainers Championship in March and plotting the success of Eye Onthe Storm, who has already won the Blue Ribbon at Hall Green and has been installed as the favourite for the English Derby in June. If there was man in the Greyhound world to put your life on the line for, Mark Wallis would be him.
Bim Bam Boozle is Wallis solitary runner in the final of the Peterborough showpiece on Wednesday night, in a field dominated by Pat Rosney who has three runners lining up.
Wallis’ charge hasn’t pulled up any trees during the heats with two unspectacular performances and his odds of 7-1 for the final represent that form. His fastest time was run in the first round heat (25.55secs), but that puts him a couple of lengths off Little Sensation who is the current favourite for the race. The tap draws have not been favourable to Bim Bam Boozle either. Drawn in trap two he has the fast starting Alfies Options inside of him, which will make it difficult for him to grab the rail at the first bend.
One thing the Wallis runner has in his favour is racing experience, 38 races to be precise (22 wins), which is more than the remaining five finalists have run between them.
He will need to use all his experience to take home the trophy on Wednesday evening.
