Warragul Race 7

Greyhound Adoption Program (275+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

OCTOBER RAIN (7) comes off an average run last start when eighth at this track over 400m behind Top Kade (23.83) in a Special conditions H. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Better than last start and worth following up. ASTUTE QUEEN (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (26.08) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. WHIZBANG JOSIE (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fifth (22.98) at Ballarat last time. Expected to feature in the finish. CELTIC BOUY (5) can run a bold race on best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.24) over 400m at this track. Aided by the inside draw but needs to bounce back.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (26.08) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Has two wins and nine placings from 22 starts from the draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Last start finished eighth over 300m at Healesville, beaten 8 lengths (17.36) behind Lara Moon in a Grade 5 on April 24. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 400m at this track. Looks a key chance here fresh.
