Leigh Wood’s Crimson Doll turned her luck around managing to get the bob in on the line after turning three wide on the corner and flying down the outside in Heat One of the Ivory Classic.
Although her time of 26.21 was a personal best for this Surf Lorian bitch it fell way short of Monty’s win in Heat Two and she will need to improve dramatically to figure in next week’s final.
Early leader Sting ran a game 2nd only beaten a head while Wayne Williams’ Troublesome Miss was doing her best work on the line to nose out last week’s Distance Championship winner Akka Boy for 3rd whose run just seemed to peter out near the line after last week’s tough run.
