Murray Bridge Race 5

Greyhounds As Pets (N/P) Stake Pr1 Division1

Prize Money: $3,000

VICTA TARA (5) is a well performed sprinter ideally suited at the shorter trips. Faded to finish fifth over 455m at this track (26.31) in a OPEN but is better placed coming back in trip. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from five starts. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Should be very hard to beat this time. WOODSIDE STAR (1) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (22.59) at this track in a Grade 2/3/4 over 395m. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Expected to feature again. ROCKLEA EARLE (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length sixth (26.05) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Mt Gambier. Has ability and worth including among the chances.

Finished third last start (26.15) at big odds over 455m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gawler over 400m. Last start finished 5th in a OPEN on March 2 over 455m at this track behind Compton Gold beaten 5.5 lengths (26.31). Has run hot time here with a 21.89 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 395m (22.29) beating Compton Copy in Grade 5 on February 21. Tempted to look elsewhere.
