Land of the Giants

Here’s a ‘swashbuckling’ AFL/Greyhounds sport offer.

TAB is offering $5.00 about Greater Western Sydney winning or even losing by 5pts or less against St. Kilda and Flynn winning at Geelong greyhounds on Friday night.

St. Kilda is seventh and GWS 10^th on the AFL Ladder, with nine wins and eight wins respectively from 16 matches.

Meanwhile, the Harry Manolitsis-trained Flynn – a finalist in last year’s Group 1 Melbourne Cup – is contesting the $6300-to-the-winner Hugh Emerson Memorial final (460m).

The Nov ’16 Kinloch Brae x Jubilation dog (who has won 14 races from 36 starts for the Errol Flynn syndicate) is on the comeback trail and having only his fourth start back since early March.

A four-time group race finalist, Flynn is also a former Bendigo 425m track record holder (23.37sec).

Bounce down for the must-win Giants v Saints clash at the Gabba is 7.50pm, while Flynn is in Race 6 Box 3 at 8.45pm.
