GORDON BALE (7) showed plenty of early speed last week to lead all the way in a quick time of 29.65. He enjoys racing from wide boxes so expect him to be very hard to beat in this. NOVA VITE (2) is another greyhound that has plenty of early speed and she was equally as impressive winning her heat last week in a time of 29.67. Definitely look at including her for the win also. BIG STUD (1) is very well drawn down on the rail and he has not missed a top 3 finish from his last 8 starts. He looks like a great anchor choice in this. KENNY POWERS (4) has been in form winning his last 2 starts, he has solid early speed and if he is able to race up on the speed he could prove to be a value booster for the quartet dividend. Include AUTOAMERICAN (5), SELECT GODDESS (6) & MALVADO (8) for the place in the back end of the quartet as they are all capable of running on strongly.
Quartet selections (listed in order of preference)
Winners: GORDON BALE (7) & NOVA VITE (2)
Anchor: BIG STUD (1)
Best Place Chance: KENNY POWERS (4)
Place Chances: AUTOAMERICAN (5), SELECT GODDESS (6) & MALVADO (8)
AD8 – 6.41pm – SA Sprint Championship Heat #4 (515m) – approx $5,000
Est pool $35k
KALDEN MAYHEM (1) is easily the quickest greyhound in the field but he can have issues especially if he drifts too far back from the bunny early on. He does however have the red box tonight and if gets a sight of the bunny early on he should prove to be too strong for these. PINTS DELIGHT (8) is suited by the wide box draw. He has had 5 exits from this box for 4 wins so definitely keep him very safe. The classy POINT TWO OVER (5) always gives his all and he will be finishing strongly. He is worth including as a knockout winner in wider bets. The next best apart from the above mentioned three appear to be HENRY MALLET (2) who is well drawn and JOHNNY WILL (7) who has been unlucky at his past 2 starts. The rest of the field on paper appear to be making up the numbers.
