The Meadows Race 4

Greyhound Adoption Program Veterans

Prize Money: $8,785

TROOPER TEARS (4) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from four starts. Comes off a (29.17) win last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Special conditions Veteran race over 515m at Sandown. Looks suited here and rates on top. HECTOR FAWLEY (1) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 525m at this track, taking a Special conditions Veteran race in a dazzling 29.71. Should be in this for a long way. ELITE ALEX (2) scored by a nose last time (25.85) in a Grade 5 over 460m at Geelong. Has already won seven times from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run. ASTON FIGARO (8) can feature with the right run.

Hit the frame last time at Sandown but the start prior was a dominant winner after leading throughout, scoring by 7 lengths in a Special conditions Veteran race at this track and clocking a scintillating 29.71 over the 525m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.
