PAUL Felgate’s champion stayer Miss Brook signalled her return to her scintillating best at Sandown Park on Thursday night.The Ballistic Jet-Brandon Sky bitch devastated her rivals in the fastest heat of the Group 3 Lizrene Classic (715m).And she has come up with the coveted rails draw in next week’s final and is already odds-on favourite for the rich final.The reigning Queensland Greyhound of the Year began only fairly from box seven before weaving her way through the field to be third entering the straight the first time around. From there Miss Brook was never in danger, sweeping past early leader Glenavon Heather and extending her lead to seven and a half lengths at the line, with favourite Bomber Que two and a quarter lengths adrift. Her time of 42.15 was the fastest run over the Sandown Park 715m this year.The run was Miss Brook’s fourth since returning from a broken metacarpal in October. Before breaking down, she won the Group 2 Sir John Dillon Memorial at Sandown in 42.35, her run on Thursday night a clear sign she has returned to her best. In an ominous sign for her rivals, trainer Paul Felgate believes Miss Brook will be improved following the run.The Lizrene Classic was first run as a bitches only sprint in 1992. In 2002, the race became an open 715m race and was elevated to Group status. It was moved from December to April the following year, and has since served as the lead up race to Australia’s premier distance event, the $86,000 Group 1 Sandown Cup.
