There was a great nights racing at Shawfield for the final of the ibetX.com Scottish Derby with a fantastic supporting card with some top class greyhounds taking part with the Irish Taking centre stage with five runners out of the six in this years top event

Meenela Cruiser went off a short priced 2/1 favourite in the sprint event but with a moderate start left the advantage Affleck Barony who led from the traps and held off all challengers with Meenela Cruiser the only danger with both clear from the field

Ted Soppit gained revenge after Bubbly Bullet defeat in the previous race , as Droopys Gibson stayed on the best to take this tight race but he looked beaten early doors with Ruling Jupiter leading for a long way with Affleck Lucy looking the likely winner but both went wide and left Gibson up the inside to stay on and win

Sniper Petra made it a good night for local trainer Gary Carmichael who like most greyhounds tonight showed some great early pace and was never in danger winning very comfartably and is one to follow in the coming months , Jethart Jackie and Unabated ran on to take second and third and it looks like Unabated will be suited by further

Plough Lane got the Julie Bateson camp off to a good start with the first of her three winners of the evening , Plough Lane was one of only two greyhounds to get a clear run in this race and Plough Lane is a very strong greyhound so once he lead this race was all but over with Westmead Pal the only danger throughout but was just not strong enough to catch Plough Lane

Agile Minnie made it two wins for the Bateson kennels and he just outstayed Dysert Tazmin over this grueling 670mts , going of at a tasty price of 6/1 after passing Tazmin at the fourth bend there were no doubts for the punters who bet Minnie , Mar City Two went off a very short price of 4/6fav part owned by Gary Newbond but was never at the races
