Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $731

CANNONBALL QUEEN (4) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 0.8 lengths second behind Ekitike in 29.22. Has the ability and expected to go close. VOTE FOR AMBER (6) followed a unplaced effort at this track two back with a sound third, beaten 4 lengths, last start in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.56). Expected to measure up this easier company. CROOKS WILLOW (3) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (29.48) at this track in A6 over 480m. Has won four of eight starts from this draw. Significant danger. SOLWAY OCEAN (2) must be respected at her pet track and distance.

Produced a much better performance last start when third over 480m at this track in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
