Potts Park Race 5

Yagoona Greyhound Supporters Club

Stake: $770

BEAR INSTINCTS (7) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (17.26) at Dapto in a Grade 5 over 297m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. Expected to measure up again. BRAVE CHOICE (8) missed the frame last time, finishing 5th (25.55) last time in a Grade 5 at Maitland. Has won here at this journey. Better than last start and can bounce back. GOING BUSH (5) is having her first start around this circuit. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 3.5 lengths (18.78) at Richmond. One of the main contenders. PAVLOV BALE (1) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Was out of placings last time (19.82) at Muswellbrook in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and 13 places from 26 starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Finished off last campaign with a fourth (18.78) in a GR 5 at Richmond ten weeks ago. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Scored by 2 lengths last time (17.26) in a Grade 5 over 297m at Dapto. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
