Trained at Appin by Jason Fletcher, the high-flying pair are now in contention to make the field for the $150,000-to-the-winner final.
Fletcher told The Punt after Fantastic Spiral took out the South Coast’s richest greyhound race that he had hoped to earn a spot in the Victorian feature race.
Fantastic Dotty is currently nursing a shoulder injury.
The final field of eight will be announced on October 13.
Meanwhile, the semi-finals of the Group 3 Nowra Puppy Classic (520m) took place on Monday.
Aphorism, trained by Shaun Evans, justified his short quote in the opening semi with a sensational win in a sizzling time of 29.50secs while John Little’s Pedro Cerrano claimed the second semi in 29.92secs.
