OUR DOGS. OUR LIVES. SUBMIT ON BAN BY 9 JAN SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,800

OPAWA CONNOR (8) comes off an average run last start when fourth at this track over 295m behind Classy Hunter (17.51). Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and can bounce back. LADY POPPY (7) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Bartlett (17.55) in a Class 0 H. Has the pace to be prominent. Expecting another good run. RIPSLINGER NESTA (6) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in second (23.09) at Ascot Park in a Class 0 over 390m. Leading player again. MITCHAM JUNE (5) makes debut for the Jonathan McInerney kennel. Start all important. Ran third in a six dog trial (17.53) on this track over 295m. Can sneak into the frame at her first appearance.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (17.84) over 295m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Has ability and among the chances.

Has only been in the placings once from six starts. Last raced when seventh over 295m at this track a week ago. Capable of much better. Solid claims this line-up.
