Greyhounds As Pets Division1

Prize Money: $4,245

SECOND KNUCKLE (5) has been close to a win, finishing in the minors five on end before a seventh when checked in the run last time in a Grade 6 at this track (31.67). Rates on top in this line up. NIFTY ROSS (2) recorded his best time this course and distance last start, taking a Grade 6 in 30.25 by a nose. Bold showing expected again. HOW WE GO (1) turned in a moderate performance last time when sixth at Hobart over 461m behind Push The Button (26.84) in a Grade 6. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. TOOL SHINER (7) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Good performance to win by a nose at this track over 515m (30.25) beating Bedworth in Grade 6 on March 31. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.
