Ballarat Race 8 - Greyhound Clubs Victoria (275+Rank)

SIR DODGE (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.1 lengths at this track in a handy 25.43 beating Phoenix Tan. Will go close again if runs up to latest. TRICKY DISCO (2) has been hard to follow lately, running seventh (23.78) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Horsham. Can improve sharply here. MORAINE BLUEY (3) turned in a better effort at Shepparton last start, finishing third behind New Sheriff (25.55) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form out of his last race has been franked. Expected to feature. ELEVATE (7) is likely to have admirers.
