Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $662

ROMEO LIGHTNING (5) scored a 3.5 lengths win fresh from a break, claiming an A8 at this track over 480m (29.84). Up a grade but in winning form and fitter again. Worth following up. SMURFS BABY (6) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 2 length third (29.88) in an A7. Has the ability and looks a key chance. RATCHIES RASMUS (1) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (29.68) behind Alnwick Toonarmy at this track. Leading chance. JACKOS CODY (3) finished second two starts back before missing the placings at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.78). This easier and can improve sharply.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score fresh from a spell in an A8 by 3.5 len at this track over 480m (29.84). Looks to be back in fine fettle. Makes plenty of appeal.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing third behind Wanganui Wanda in an A7. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
