It is a rather tricky start to this evening's greyhound Quaddie race 9 at the Hatrick Raceway.

Any one of the eight sprinters engaged in this first leg could win this sprint without surprising.

Tardy starts, from recent wide draws, have proved costly for Bigtime Jet in his latest sprints.

Drawing closer to the rail tonight is likely to enhance his claims.

Para Sparra from the ace-trap can make effective use of this kind draw. Run Stacy Run receives the opportunity to cap off some consistent recent form here.

Direct Response owns the ability to overcome the lousy draw he has been allocated here.

Flag Waver is an out-and-out railer and she looms as a serious-looking winning chance in the second leg after having drawn the one-trap.

Cover options in this sprint include Safe And Secure, Go Fern Go and consider the downgraded Cheetah Woods as the possible upset chance.

That was a vastly improved, eye-catching effort that Trinity Boy produced here last Friday.

A repeat will take him close to winning the third leg.

El Jetta delivered a brave effort last Friday when she raced up in class. l

She will appreciate dropping back into her right class tonight.

Canterbury visitor Okuku Dreamer is easing back in class here and she is quite capable of being able to make her presence felt.

However, the upset prospect in this event could be the luckless Missing Melody.

Rosemore Osti is in career-best form and she has drawn to add another win to her picket fence form line in the last leg.

Other candidates in this dash who could feature are the proven sprinter Stiff, the nicely drawn Darlek Kahn, plus the locally-trained Howlin Wind.
