NIGHTRAVE GREYHOUNDS REHOMING VISIT NIGHTRAVE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,000

BACK CHAT BAILEY (7) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (26.40) at Ascot Park and may be close to breaking through. Top chance in this line up. CURLY JUNIOR (8) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at this track over 295m behind Karis (17.68) in a Class 3. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Deserves plenty of respect. NIGHTHAWK ZEUS (3) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 1.75 lengths, (17.39) at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Likely to be in the finish again. HOMEBUSH ALLISON (2) has a strong record from this box draw and is worth consideration.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (17.50) over 295m at this track. Boxed awkwardly but is worth plenty of thought.

Working his way into winning form after his success on June 4 at Ascot Park over 390m. Last start was second over 457m in 26.40, behind Homebush Swindle. Has clocked an excellent 17.17 Best Time here at the trip. Top chance.

Was out of placings last time (17.68) at this track in a Class 3, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks a leading chance.
