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.

PLAINTIFF
Breeding: Jul ’20 Zambora Brockie x Appointed
Trainer: Jason Thompson, Pearcedale
Record: 6 starts 4-2-0

Dale says: “Has had just the six race starts for four wins including a Group 3 victory in the GRV VicBred Maiden Final on Australian Cup night in just his third start. Is armed with blinding early speed and continues to get stronger in his races. Has a lot of similarities to multiple Group winner Idolize and there is no reason why Plaintiff can’t add another group race success to his name.”

Best traits: Blinding early speed; plenty of upside
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 500m

“There is no reason why Plaintiff can’t add another group race success to his name.”

WATCH: PLAINTIFF (3) burst out of the boxes and was never troubled in taking out the third heat of the Launching Pad (515m) at Sandown Park in 29.50 seconds on March 31.     Results

BOOM LATERAL
Breeding: Feb ‘20 Zulu Zeus x Hidden Dreams
Trainer: Graeme Jose, Catani
Record: 6 starts 1-2-2

Dale says: “Strong chaser who is still learning how to race. Caught the eye in his only race win – at Sandown Park over 515m – when he powered to the line to score a top-shelf victory. Was desperately unlucky last start in his distance debut over 680m at Warragul and I have no doubt if Boom Lateral stays fit and healthy, he can turn into a more than handy stayer.”

Best traits: Powerful run home times
Ideal draw: Box 8
Ideal distance: 650-700m

“If Boom Lateral stays fit and healthy, he can turn into a more than handy stayer.”

WATCH: BOOM LATERAL (8) maintained a wide run and eventually powered away from his rivals in 29.69 seconds at Sandown Park (515m) on February 27.     Results

FLYING SURPRISE
Breeding: Apr ’19 My Redeemer x Flying Bekim
Trainer: Terrence Erenshaw, Junction Village
Record: 26 starts 7-5-4

Dale says: “Caught the eye when he flashed home last start when beaten by the smart Jefferson County in fast time at Warragul over 460m. Can take a little while to warm up but once he gets into full stride, he is a powerful type that will be suited over a little more ground. I would like to see Flying Surprise run over the provincial 550m distance range and this is where I think he will do his best racing.”

Best traits: Tenacious chaser; strong finisher
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 550m

“I would like to see Flying Surprise run over the provincial 550m distance range and this is where I think he will do his best racing.”
