One fast lady

Rising superstar Elevated has been scratched from The Meadows Saturday night having endured a minor groin strain, with trainer Harry Manolitsis now focusing preparations on the upcoming Speed Star series at Sandown Park on May 10.

Victorian greyhound racing has been blessed with champion female greyhounds in recent times including Fanta Bale, Up Hill Jill and Striker Light, and Elevated looks set for similar stardom.

Elevated turned heads with an extraordinarily quick win at Sandown Park in 29.12sec earlier this month, the fastest time recorded at the track in 2018 and the fastest by a female greyhound since Xylia Allen in 2013.
