Among some early carnage at the first turn, the two-year-old showed racing nous beyond his years to hold his line with the bigger Electrified on his outside, before passing Rumblin' Moment on the back straight.

Few people can't attest to a better training debut than New Zealand's newest mentor 18-year-old Jack Johnson, with the first greyhound he's put the polish on Allegro Marshy, saluting at Addington over the 295m last Friday evening. 'I was a bit nervous; the boxes didn't open the first time the lure didn't start the first time they were in there and I was wondering if he was going to jump the next time it happened.' 'It was a bit stressful, but he picked the jump and went good.' 'I was in two-minds when it happened, as sometimes he's a bit slow away, but when I opened the back of the lids, he was right there ready to jump, so I thought he might bomb it.
