Form expert Dale Code has picked out a selection of greyhounds to follow from around Victoria. You may even want to add them to your Blackbook account.

BELL BURNER
Breeding: Oct ’19 Worm Burner x Bells Are Ringin
Trainer: Ned McDonald, Pearcedale
Record: 24 starts 7-6-4

Dale says: “Has been impressive since stepping up in distance winning his past two starts with conviction and running fast splits along the way. He is bred to stay being out of Group 1 winning dam Bells Are Ringin and, at just under two-and-a-half years of age, Bell Burner is primed to make his mark as one of the state’s elite front-running stayers.”

Best traits: Reliable beginner; honest; bred to stay
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 650m

“Bell Burner is primed to make his mark as one of the state’s elite front-running stayers.”

WATCH: BELL BURNER (3) never gave his rivals a chance when triumphant by over seven lengths in 38.73 seconds at Warragul (680m) on February 19.     Results

KELSEY BALE
Breeding: Jun ‘20 Feral Franky x Ethla Allen
Trainer: Daniel Gibbons, Avalon
Record: 4 starts 2-1-1

Dale says: “Burst onto the racing scene winning her first two starts in dynamic fashion including a blistering all-the-way victory at Geelong in 25.59sec. Her last-start effort to run second at Warragul behind Gold Skulltula was top shelf, with her run-home time being super impressive on that occasion. At just 20 months of age and with an ability to lead or come off the speed in her races, I have no doubt Kelsey Bale can become one of Victoria’s best sprinters.”

Best traits: Can lead or come off the speed; keen railer
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 500m

“I have no doubt Kelsey Bale can become one of Victoria’s best sprinters.”

WATCH: KELSEY BALE (2) showed plenty of determination finishing second in a winning time of 25.58 seconds at Warragul (460m) on February 19.     Results

AIR RACE ACE
Breeding: Jun ’19 High Earner x Catch Fire
Trainer: Chloe Dew, Anakie
Record: 9 starts 2-2-3

Dale says: “Made a late start to his racing career with an emphatic 22.62sec win at Geelong on debut back in December last year at two-and-a-half years of age. He has not had a lot of luck in his races since that win, although he has still managed to claim another win and several placings, primarily over the 400m distance range. I think that with better luck and a slight rise in distance, Air Race Ace can notch up many more wins and become a more-than-handy provincial sprinter.”

Best traits: Keen railer; tenacious chaser
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 450m

“Air Race Ace can notch up many more wins and become a more-than-handy provincial sprinter.”
