Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $670

STORMY SHELBY (6) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by 2 lengths in a D3 last time at this track over 261m (16.01). Goes up a grade but expected to to measure up again. ESSEX JEWEL (1) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 2.25 lengths third (16.08) in a D2. Key chance on best form. LUKES STELLAR (4) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a D3 winner (16.00) three back at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. KERABELLEC NEILL (3) won from this box last start so keep her in mind.
