The Hound Says:Might be an opportunity lost if he can't get over these here. Beautifully boxed to suit his wide scouting style - and out to avenge odds-on defeat here Friday.
The Hound Says:Hop on the starship Enterprise! Rivals see red when this bloke draws the fence - he is 6 for 6 off the 1 alley. Was 6L astern of Esther last week, but he had 8
Looking to greyhounds here who filled the minor spots in the same race here last Friday. BLUE ROAMER (8) was just 2L off the winner in 23.20 and they won't go any quicker here. Box 8 looks ideal on what he has displayed to date. MY MINGO (1) was only narrowly behind our top pick in that and he looks to have upside. BIRDHILL BANDIT (7) in the mix.
Like most of these Maiden scampers, there's a lot of guess work involved - and much luck needed. JITU (3) is well bred, but did little on debut when easy in the market. Possible improver if she begins better. ZIPPER MAGIC (1) gets a kinder draw to lift on debut flop here last Friday. DRIVE BY BECKY (8) is a value play for multiples if she can cross
Providing a 400m run here Sat hasn't dulled her brilliance, SONGAR HOLLY (2) can keep her unbeaten sprint record intact today. Brilliantly winning 3 on the spin, commencing early October, she didn't handle the corner start well last time. SUPER ATHLETIC (1) continues to race so consistently and draws to feature. BLUE FIRE ICE (3) needs to begin.
Nailing the start has been the key to success for KAPOW (2) at her past 2 here. She has been a wonderfully consistent chaser - and gets the same alley today, in her quest for her 1st career hat-trick. KEEPING ON (7) will ensure that she needs to be at the top of her game to score. This bloke won 8 on the bounce recently. HAPPY DASH (4) in the mix.
The pressure is on KEY ENTERPRISE (1) here. He looks to maintain a sensational strike rate from the rails draw, where he boasts an outstanding 6 from 6! Not a renowned lid pinger, but his blend of speed and strength agrees with the pole position. RENNY'S DIGGIN' (7) is racing well and he also is fast and strong. BAT MOBILE (5) a value place play.
On disclosed form, this race looks certain to be fought out by the runners boxed at the top of the track. BURNED (8) is well drawn and will take no end of beating, if he runs up to his best. Has won here at this trip twice - including a nippy 29.74. ZOOM IN (6) won at 515m debut last week in 30.10 and can trim that. DYNAMISM (7) will be fancied.
On paper, this looks a real match in two. WINLOCK ONE OUT (8) is bursting to win after placings past 3 here in deeper contests. Last start 3rd was stout, when outpaced early but rattling late. Drawn to perfection here and no excuses. SHE'S SHREWD (2) was luckless off a wide draw last week. Has won 3 races here. BYE FOR ALL (6) can run home hard.
An open race here and prepared to have a stab with one at an E/Way price. CUNDLE EMMA (2) was a strange run last start at Taree - she tore out of the boxes, but was gone after 150 metres? Her only run here was OK in slow time. MY GIRL SONNY (5) will be fitter after last week's resuming run. Box 5 the query. ROMEO MIYAGI (4) very talented but green.
Following a tidy 3rd here last start, REDEEMER DREAMER (3) looks a leading contender from a much kinder draw. He had alley 7 in his Saturday engagement and never shirked his task. Won't need to work as hard early now. I'M ONLY LITTLE (6) is a newcomer with good pace and upside. Maiden win was good. YOU KNOW TREE (8) is talented at her top. Respect.
Searching for his initial Gardens success, KEY BOB (3) needs only repeat his excellent 2nd here last Saturday, to take this out. Carving over from box 6, he provided a saloon passage for the winner to follow across. But he battled all the way to the line. FIREBALL SHOW (7) is fresh and talented - but not well drawn out wide. SMILEY (2) very honest.
Never easy these 272m scampers - this looks such an evenly matched contest. JILL DOO (2) was below her best here when last, a fortnight back. Much better than that and can easily turn things around here. COASTAL EXPRESS (5) is airborne and she boasts a nice blend of speed and strength. ESTHER'S ANGEL (1) has awesome box 1 stats. Will use the alley.
A deep Masters contest - with a couple of new recruits to the Veteran classification. SONGA RED GUM (2) is one such newbie - and her run here last Friday in a Grade 4/5 when 2nd is a good pointer. Showed better early pace in that. RATTLIN' HOME (6) knows the deal well with these races and always competes. ART ROYAL (8) the other Masters 1st timer.
