MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

AU FAIT (2) jumps from box 2 for the first time after placing latest at Cambridge Raceway (21.85) in a Class 1/2. Has a good record here at this journey. Has reliable box manners and deserves serious consideration. RUNNING ON EMPTY (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (19.14) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. FRITILLARY (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (19.28) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. THRILLING NASH (5) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again. Does drop back slightly in class today.
