SUPER SMILEY (Hallucinate- Ko Ko Capri) finally broke through for his Maiden victory after been beaten as an odds on favourite at his first two race starts. Punters were not as keen to jump aboard tonight and sent the nicely bred black dog to the start as a $5.50 chance. As soon as the lids opened though the race was in his keeping as he shot clear after clocking 5.77 first split and then stopping the clock at 30.82 7 lengths clear of his nearest rival Gemma Girl. The Corey White trained youngster looks to have above average ability.[View Replay] CITY RUMBLE (Brett Lee- Rumble Amour) on debut won for trainer Terry Erenshaw and owner Shaun Miller. The well bred black dog clocked 30.55 in a recent trial, however tonight found early trouble after being tardy away and then met with further trouble on the first corner. He showed race smarts to get to the line first in 31.01 as did second place getter Prodigal One who caught the eye.[View Replay]Greyhounds to Follow:
Showed courage to finish second behind Black Enigma after finding trouble twice in running bumping heavily with the favourite Al's Special. Mother of Aye Aye Captain, Leprechaun Pace is also the dam of Perth Cup winner Oaks Road who took a while to mature.
Has been knocking on the door lately without much luck. Tonight flew around in PB 30.53 and should follow while in form.
Enjoyed the drop back in company tonight and with confidence boost may pay to follow at odds in tougher race next start.Peter O'Neill (Commentator)
