Ballarat Race 8

Greyhound Adoption Program

Prize Money: $1,530

GOOSEBUMPS RICO (1) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Bendigo over 425m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Great chance again. AS YOU WERE (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 25.84 beating Penny's Legacy. Form should stack up. COLLINDA DOUGIE (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at Bendigo over 425m. Leading player again. PAW CASSIAN (7) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Bendigo over 425m in 24.20 last start, beating Collinda Dougie. Likes the rails so ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.

Showed good improvement when second behind Goosebumps Rico at Bendigo last start over 425m (24.27). Likely to play a major role.

Goes well at this track and trip. Last start finished 6th over 460m at Geelong beaten 12 lengths (26.64) behind Zipping Kirk in a Grade 5 on January 20. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in six tries. Last start 5th over 400m at Geelong. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (25.83) over 450m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but in the mix on his best form.
