Ballarat Race 9

Greyhound Adoption Program (275+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

LADY CALAMITY (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 450m. Likely to feature again. CORNHILL HUSTLER (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (25.03) last time in a Grade 7 at Bendigo. Better than last start and can bounce back. KEY BEGONIA (7) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at Geelong over 460m behind Aston Surpass (26.77) in a Grade 7. Key runner on best form. JULEA RUSLIE (1) will be hard to beat despite making her debut at this circuit.

Backs up quickly after winning easily by 4.5 lengths at Sale (25.29) beating Indi Bear in a T3 Grade 7 on July 23 three days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Impressive performance to post a big 5 lengths victory in a Maiden last start at Geelong, recording a slick 25.85 over the 460m journey. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.
