Gawler Race 9

Greyhounds As Pets (Pbd Data N/P) Stake Pr1 Divisi

Stake: $1,305

RUSSO (1) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when third (20.42) at Angle Park. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Deserves serious consideration. JUST ZORRO (7) drew the inside and won last time at Angle Park over 342m (20.13) after charging straight to the lead, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Leading player again. ARCHER TWELVE (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (23.19) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can improve sharply here. MINIATURE FURY (8) has strong credentials from this draw.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (23.27) at big odds over 400m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.

Solid performance to win by 0.8 lengths at Angle Park over 342m (20.13) beating Zing Matilda in Other on September 8. Can make it two on the bounce.

Was out of placings last time (17.14) at Murray Bridge Straight in a Other, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and two places from 11 starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
