Ballarat Race 5 - Greyhound Adoption Program

HARTLAND DUKE (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.68) at Shepparton behind Sugar Shine in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Rates highly and will give a great sight. DOOKIE GIBLET (7) led all the way last time out to score by 2.5 lengths (22.64) at Shepparton in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 390m. Can make it back-to-back wins. PUNCH DRUNK LOVE (6) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 390m behind Abracadabra (22.84) in a Grade 5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Can figure in the finish. LIKE A BLAZE (4) is another with top-three prospects.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (23.01) at big odds over 390m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and needs to find best form to feature.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 8 length sixth over 390m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
