Soviet Maladini can justify top billing

SOVIET Maldini will tonight aim to justify his billing as outright favourite to win the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake at Shelbourne Park.

The star of Thursday’s heats was Pennys Oberon, who posted an incredible 28.57, but should Soviet Maldini come out running this evening he could eclipse that effort.

After recording a wonderful 28.40 in a recent trial at headquarters, Soviet Maldini will certainly be warm order to beat the likes of Coldwater Joe and Lifes Burble this evening. If he does strike the front before the corner, all eyes will be on the clock as he crosses the line.
