LAST RACE EVER FOR OTAGO GREYHOUNDS PUPPY LEGO DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,409

TUAHIWI (3) was rewarded for his honesty after three minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at Addington over 295m (16.89). Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Can make it two on the bounce. GOTCHA JASPER (4) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out. Was having first start here last time so will have gained great benefit from the outing. HAS POTENTIAL (7) was a winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a neck in 22.63. Last start finished 6th over 390m at this track beaten 10 lengths (23.44) behind Masenko in a Class 4 on April 15. Can bounce back.
