Sheffield Bags Race 4

Adopt A Greyhound @ Sheffield Retired Greyhounds

Stake: $848

NO SMALL TALK (2) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (29.58) at this track. Rates highly and will give a great sight. SPORTSMANS ZARA (4) was a course and distance placegetter (29.49) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 3 length second in an A4. Leading player again. ACOMB BLOSSOM (6) hit the frame with a narrow third two runs back then claimed an A5 by one length at this track over 500m (29.52) last time. Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including. TEAM NEWS (5) is in form and must include among the chances.

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing third behind Kilgarran Belle in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 500m in an A4 at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.

Solid performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A4 by 0.8 len at this track over 500m (29.54). Was in the money three on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.
