Invercargill Race 11

OTAGO GREYHOUND RACING CLUB

Stake: $4,000

HENDRIX RULER (5) was a strong winner (30.25) from box 2 last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths at Addington. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Well placed and will be tough to beat. MINI BULL (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Scored by 2.25 lengths last time (26.26) in a Class 1 over 457m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. VALDERRAMA (4) was in the minor money with a strong 30.22, finishing third in a Class 2 FIN at Addington last start. Top win latest and can measure up again. ADOBE EGO (3) was in the money last start and rates well as an each-way chance.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 295m at Addington in a handy (17.25), beating Homebush Billie. Will find this a bit tougher, others favoured this time.

Hit the frame at Addington last time when a 1.4 lengths third but did record a solid 30.22 over the 525m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Turned in another winning performance after leading to make it two in a row at this track over 457m (26.26). Makes strong appeal on recent runs.
