Ballarat Race 9

National Greyhound Adoption Month

Stake: $3,696

KADE (4) missed the frame last time but before that recorded the quickest win (25.23) on the program at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 H. Will find this more suitable and can atone. PAW WHISTLER (8) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his convincing win the start prior, getting around Geelong over 460m in 25.60. Expected to feature on best figures. SHE'S WIRED (7) stalked the speed throughout but took over and ran on to score at big odds in a Grade 5 (25.47) at Warrnambool. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Has a strong record from box 7, including two wins. Form should stack up. REIKO WALTER (1) raced handy last time and scored. Hard to beat again.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at this track over 450m (25.50) beating Roscoe Bale in Grade 5 on April 9. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 460m at Warragul in a handy (25.89), beating Akina Jack. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 450m Warrnambool in 25.34. More than capable and has to be included.
