In Sydney last week to polish her preparations at the interstate championships at Newport, Dunhn has learned her closest rival for the title will be absent for the next round.

Miller will be attending her sister’s wedding in the Southern Highlands, opening the way for Dunn to reclaim the series lead she held briefly after winning round one.

“I’d prefer to have her racing but this is a big opening for me,’’ said Dunn, a favourite to dominate the interstate ironwoman race for Queensland.

“Both of us had a bad race last round but hopefully I can drop mine. Georgia won’t be able to.’’

Dunn and Miller are part of former ironwoman Naomi Flood’s formidable squad at Northcliffe which also boasts injured ironwoman Harriet Brown and last round winner Hannah Sculley.
