Dozer back to winning ways

Declan ByrneMandurah Coastal Times

The strong-running black-and-white chaser from Andrew McLaren's kennels was able to wrest the lead from the fast-jumping Katsuro Sahara in the early stages before kicking away to score convincingly by more than four lengths in 27.52sec.

The win was Yunderup Dozer's fourth from his past five starts and gave an indication that he could be ready to cash in on his untapped talented.

Yunderup Dozer showed early promise and he got his career off to a flying start when he captured the Autumn Maiden Classic in April, but up until recently injury niggles and poor box draws had combined to restrict his development. When McLaren was asked about how far he thought Yunderup Dozer could progress as a racedog, the Nambeelup trainer was very positive.

"A long way. I really do believe that," he said.
