Monmore Race 2

National Greyhound Week 480 Maiden

Stake: $1,402

PATOKA (1) is having his first start around this course. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 6 lengths (28.81) at Monmore. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. WHISKY ELSA (5) steps out for the first time at this course. In the money last start when second (29.52) at Nottingham over 500m. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Will give a great sight again. COMMON CANTER (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (28.66) last time in a OR at Monmore. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Must be included in calculations. AERO BROOKE (2) missed the frame latest (29.01) when fifth over 480m at Monmore in a OR. Has already won two times from this trap.

Latest effort finished 4th on August 16 over 480m at Monmore behind Newinn Oscar beaten 6 lengths (28.81) in a OR3. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
