A change in format sees tonight's greyhound TAB Quaddie being conducted on four C4 races at the Hatrick Raceway.

The Quaddie legs remain the same on Race 9 to 12.

The first leg, over 520m, sees Bigtime Jet gaining a bonus C4 race following his tidy Manawatu 457m win last Monday.

He is capable of being able to capitalise on his bonus opportunity.

Phone Tap has drawn kindly after having contested recent Cambridge 650 races.

He isn't the quickest into stride, however he is likely to stick close to the rail before attempting to assert his known strength at the business end.

The locally-trained Space Race returns to C4 racing here after her strong 30.26sec win in the C3 520m last week.

She has drawn well enough in trap-two to make her presence felt.

Wallace Lad owns sufficient talent to feature here, however he must begin smartly from trap-eight.

And upset claims can be made for Indiana Izmir, who is a much better chaser than what his current form line reflects.

C4 305m sprints comprise the remaining Quaddie legs, where in race 10 Cosmic Fury is another chaser who is in bonus territory after his Manawatu 375m win on Monday.

He has drawn ideally in the ace trap and he looms as a potential Quaddie anchor.

If he does make a mistake, then sitting poised to capitalise are the likes of the recently downgraded open class sprinter Bolt Rama, along with Eureka Izmir.

Leg 3 has Fiery Dancer easing back in class, which presents her with winning claims, despite her lousy draw (5).

The former northern-trained Rebel Khan has the ace draw for his track debut.

Super Rooster was hindered at a crucial stage last Friday and he can feature here, as can the upgrading Agent Jorge.

Cold Turkey has been delivering improved recent sprints on this track.

On to the final leg, where Enazuma has produced a consistent pair of sprints since he resumed from a spell.

He is likely to strike at short notice and it could be tonight.

Cawbourne Banksy was a winner the only previous time he was loaded away into the No8 trap and from an identical draw tonight he must enter calculations.

Isabelle Domain faces a class rise, however she must also be considered based on her strong-finishing C3 305m win here last Friday.

Miss McFly was luckless here last week when vying for the early race lead, while Crystal Wave gains the draw advantage from the inside trap.
