Dogs to follow – Conspired, Lornett Express and Hot Scotch

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.

CONSPIRED (Box 5)
Breeding: Mar ’21 Deliver x Urana Vee Eight
Trainer: Karen Pitt, Pearcedale
Record: 2 starts 0-1-0

Dale says: Conspired was desperately unlucky last start when he looked like the winner before finding trouble.

Conspired clearly has a big motor and he is going to continue to get faster with more racing.

Conspired is engaged to run at The Meadows on Wednesday (Race 3, Box 8) and although better suited to an inside draw, he is every chance to break through for his first win.

Best traits: Mid-race motor; hard chaser
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 450m

LORNETT EXPRESS (Box 2)
Breeding: May ’21 Zambora Brockie x Melissa’s Pride
Trainer: Tom Dailly, Anakie
Record: 1 start 1-0-0

Dale says: Lornett Express made a big statement on debut with one of the fastest maiden wins recorded at Ballarat since the brilliant Revolution ran 25.01 seconds in his second ever start some 18 months ago.

Lornett Express clocked a red-hot 25.02 seconds on December 21, posting a fast first split (6.54 seconds) along the way and, at only 19 months of age, he appears to have the ideal recipe of speed and strength to develop into an elite sprinter.

Best traits: Sustained high speed
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 450m

HOT SCOTCH (Box 4)
Breeding: Nov ’20 Hooked On Scotch x Zall Good
Trainer: Maureen Brown, Loch
Record: 20 starts 10-4-1

Dale says: Hot Scotch endured injury problems earlier in his career, but he looks to have put them behind him following recent back-to-back best-of-night wins at Sandown Park (29.12 seconds) and The Meadows (29.68 seconds).

With electric early speed and improving run-home times, Hot Scotch looks the real deal.

Best traits: Sustained elite speed
Ideal draw: Box 1
Ideal distance: 500m
