Adopt A Greyhound @ Sheffield Retired Greyhounds

Stake: $891

CHOCTAW WILLOW (6) progressing nicely. Opened the campaign with a third in a handicap at this track then got the prize last time by half a length in an A4 at this track over 500m (29.73). Returns to the handicaps here and will jump off scratch. Can continue the fine run of form. MADABOUT PAPA (3) is yet to win in six starts but been in the minors. Key player if finds best. DARVER LASSIE (4) quickly away to win over the 500m at this track two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at this track last start. Expected to feature. BALLYBOSS EMILY (2) has been in reasonable form of late. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in a D5 at this track over 280m (17.36). Tackles a handicap here and will start off 10m. Solid top-three prospects.

Form slipped last start when she finished 5th in a D5 on April 26 over 280m at this track behind Dot To Dash beaten 7 lengths (17.57). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Comments

Followed an unplaced run at this track with a sound third last start in a D5 at this track over 280m (17.36). Takes on a handicap here and will jump from the 10m mark. Sound recent form should stack up.

Makes her handicap debut and will start off 8m. Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m in an A9 at Hove (30.89). Among the chances on best form.

Placed in a handicap fresh at this track then claimed an A4 at this track over 500m (29.73). Back to the handicaps here and will start off scratch. Top chance again.
