The Stir Up | Speed Star Edition

GRV’s Peter Quilty, Gerard Guthrie and Trent Langskaill provide their thoughts on some of the star greyhounds racing in Victoria.

Keep an eye on these, they are worth saving in your WatchDog Blackbook!

Quilts Fellas, it will be non-stop action at Sandown Park this evening with a selection of the fastest stayers, middle-distance chasers and sprinters contesting three Speed Star events.

Gerard Sunnyside Jo versus Group 1 champion Moraine Suzie should be a great start to the evening, and then we get to see promising stayer Like Wildfire in the second race.

Trent The middle-distance greyhounds then have their opportunity to shine in Races 3 to 6. Valor Bale versus dual Group winner Alfie Moon is set to be a ripper in the third race.

Quilts Could the 595-metre track record be broken in Race 6? If any greyhound is a possibility of setting a new time standard, it is Hector Fawley.

Gerard The sprinters then get their chance to set the track alight. Race 7 features two up-and-coming chasers – Aston Luciano and Dinner’s On.

Trent Cruise Mode was electrifying at Sandown Park three starts back and her contest against Group 1 Maturity Classic finalist Professor Snitch in Race 8 should be a cracker.

Quilts Two greyhounds to watch out for in the next twelve months are in Race 9 with Mepunga Smokey and Pearly Tears a battle of potential topliners.

Gerard Race 10 looks like another beauty, Quilts. Will Afire possess the early burn and the strength to hold off Group 1 Harrison-Dawson finalist Adhana Rico?

Quilts Launch Code showed terrific speed when he won the Group 1 Maturity Classic Final. Can he outsprint the aptly-named Nature Strip in Race 11?

Trent Has the best been saved for the last race? Pink Diamond winner Transponder faces Big Energy – the fourth-fastest greyhound ever at Sandown Park.
