Apologies if Dougie has already created a thread for the Sale Cup and I have missed it. I am looking forward to listening to Mantra Lad's heat at 7.42 pm. He has his favourite box (8). After his record smashing win last week, he deserves to be an odds on favourite for sure. Anything can happen but from the 8, I am expecting him to win and most likely win well. Heavens what did he run last week, 36.71 or similar, holy hell. When he is "on" Mantra is as good a middle distance dog as I have seen in 50 years of being a keen greyhound enthusiast. Vintage Octane who is a fair dog on his night could not get anywhere near breaking 37.0 last year when he won his heat and the final. I knew 37.0 could be broken for sure but 36.71 or whatever, well ..... Just realised I missed the first heat, I better not miss the next heat at 7.22 pm.
