Pies and Nangar ‘rust-proof’?

TAB has put up a $2.50 quote on the Magpies to ‘slingshot’ the GWS Giants and middle-distance revelation Nangar Rust to win at The Meadows on Saturday night.

Collingwood is 11^th on the AFL ladder, with one win from three matches, following their after-the-siren loss to the Brisbane Lions on April Fool’s Day.

Greater Western Sydney are ‘cellar dwellers’, in 17^th position, and yet to win a game.

Meanwhile, the Jason Thompson-trained Nangar Rust is TAB’s $1.75 favourite in a Mixed 4/5 (600m).

He’s won 13 races from 26 starts, including three of his past four. And in January, he was a G2 Gosford Gold Cup finalist.

The Round 4 Collingwood v Greater Western Sydney clash at the MCG commences at 7.25pm, while Nangar Rust is in Race 8 Box 5 at 9.03pm.

WATCH: Middle-distance revelation Nangar Rust (1) semaphores a sizzling 33.81sec – only three lengths off the 595m track record – at Sandown on April 1.
