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.

XINMIN BALE
Breeding: Jun ’20 Feral Franky x Houston Bale
Trainer: Rebecca Gibbons, Avalon
Record: 10 starts 3-4-2

Dale says: “Powerful chaser who continues to improve with each run. His past two performances have been super impressive and his run home times are elite. Still learning and with plenty of upside, Xinmin Bale can establish himself into a more than handy city performer over 500m and beyond.”

Best traits: Versatile; elite run home times
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 600m

“Xinmin Bale can establish himself into a more than handy city performer over 500m and beyond.”

SPRING BOLT
Breeding: Dec ‘18 Fabregas x Sheeza Nitro
Trainer: Lisa Delbridge, Balliang
Record: 30 starts 6-5-7

Dale says: “Had been racing well in recent times without winning until Saturday night’s eye-catching victory at The Meadows. Had injury problems early in his career but appears fit and healthy now and is primed to add many more wins to his name before his career ends.”

Best traits: Mid race speed; tenacious chaser
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 500m

“(Spring Bolt) appears fit and healthy now and is primed to add many more wins to his name before his career ends.”

MR. AUDACIOUS
Breeding: Apr ’20 Beast Unleashed x Audacious Bell
Trainer: Rachael Busuttil, Kilmany
Record: 6 starts 4-0-0

Dale says: “Broke the Shepparton 450m track record in just his fifth start in a heat of the Group 2 Shepparton Cup and was desperately unlucky not to win the final on Saturday night. Has unrivalled speed soon after box rise and, with more race experience and improved box manners, Mr. Audacious has the potential to be one of the best provincial sprinters we could see.”

Best traits: Unrivalled speed soon after box rise
Ideal draw: Box 8
Ideal distance: 450m

“Mr. Audacious has the potential to be one of the best provincial sprinters we could see.”
