WE LOVE OUR DOGS THEY LOVE TO RACE DISTANCE

Prize Money: $5,909

JOHNNY FOOTBALL (4) goes very well here starting 25 times for 21 wins and three minors. Comes off a (30.22) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Class 5 FIN over 520m at Wanganui. Champion greyhound who looks to classy for this field. BIG TIME POPPY (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (30.84) in a Class 4/5 at Wanganui. Has a good record at this journey. Should play a prominent role in a small field. BIG TIME ZIP (3) warrants respect following a recent placing in a tight finish. Steps back up to a longer distance and could lead them early. Something for the Multiples: OPAWA DALLAS (5)

Finished second at big odds last time (38.39) over 650m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
