May Hounds Greyhound Rehoming Group Sprint Pbd

Prize Money: $2,592

LION'S DEN (1) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from five starts. Recorded a 6 length win (21.11) in a Class 2/3 last time at Cambridge Raceway. Looks the one to beat with even luck. PORTLAND MARK (4) goes very well at course and distance boasting four wins. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. One of the main contenders. OPAWA RYAN (7) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and three minors from eight tries. Missed the frame latest (21.86) when eighth over 375m at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 4. Looks suited here and can measure up. WAITERIMU GEM (5) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when third (18.74) in a Class 3 over 318m at this track.

Good performance to post a big 6 lengths win at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.11) beating Opawa Ava in Class 2/3 on June 27. Can make it two on the bounce.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (21.39) over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Aided by a low draw but will need to find best.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (18.74) at this track, making it two placings on end. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Top-three aspirations.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.86) in a Class 4, finishing a 10 length eighth. Has two successes and three minors from seven starts from box 7. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Won his last couple, most recently at Wanganui Straight on June 26 over 313m in 17.49. Not suited by the wide draw; Happy to risk in this.
