Ballarat Race 5 - Greyhound Adoption Program

PAW TARKOV (5) finished seventh last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 450m at this track, taking a Mix 6/7 in a strong 25.30. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. BRAVE ISLAND (1) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fourth by 1.75 lengths (19.72). Scored previously at this trip. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can measure up this time. GRAPEFRUIT RACER (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (30.81) in a Mix 6/7 H at The Meadows over 525m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should be in this for a long way. SHADE OF PALE (7) is worth including after a top-three finish at big odds most recently.
