Katie establishes herself as Oaks contender with 28.59 effort

ONLY twenty four greyhounds remain in the Sporting Press Irish Oaks, but the competition remains wide open following an intriguing second round on Saturday.

As expected many of the leading fancies flexed their muscles, but there were one or two performances of note from some of the lesser fancied runners.

Perhaps most impressive of these was Mohane Katie as she established herself as a real contender with a superb front running effort in Heat 6, posting a fastest of the night 28.59 in the process.
