NIGHTRAVE REHOMING AGENCY FOR GREYHOUNDS SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

BIG TIME KIMETTO (3) could not have been more impressive last start in his fast 17.67 win at Wanganui in a Class 2 over 305m. Has the ability and expected to go close again. Does have very good early speed. IRIS HAZE (7) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 375m behind Portland Chica (22.09) in a Class 2/3. Was a winner the start prior. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Drops slightly in class today and is in the mix. PAPA KIWI (2) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when third (21.61) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Has a good record at this journey. Is a recent down grader to this class and is a winning chance. THRILLING POLO (5) is worth consideration after filling a hole from the same draw last start. Is usually strong to the line over this distance.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 3 lengths in a Class 2 last start at Wanganui, clocking a slick 17.67 over the 305m trip. In hot form and can take this out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wanganui Straight over 313m. Last start finished 2nd in a Class 2 on December 16 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Cliff Top Vinnie beaten a nose (17.66). Suited here and gets chance to bounce back.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 375m at this track in a handy (21.79), beating Who's A Saint. Can go well again with the right run.
