Form expert Dale Code has picked out a selection of runs from around Victoria that have caught the eye over the past fortnight.
#1 KELSEY BALE (Box 4)
Breeding: June ’20 Feral Franky x Ethla Allen
Trainer: Daniel Gibbons (Avalon)
Record: 61 starts 21-16-7
Dale says: Backing up from her ridiculous win in the Group 2 Ballarat Cup Final, the new queen of greyhound racing turned in another amazing win.
Contesting a heat of the Group 2 Geelong Gold Cup, Kelsey Bale made another marvellous recovery after being crunched soon after box rise to show mind blowing mid-race speed before going on to score with consummate ease.

#2 SERENA BALE (Box 8)
Breeding: October ’20 Orson Allen x Dyna Chill
Trainer: Tom Dailly (Anakie)
Record: 29 starts 5-8-2
Dale says: Backers of Serena Bale would have ridden a wave of emotions as the powerful daughter of Orson Allen put herself in a stalking position as they headed down the back straight, but she was denied a run and any hope of victory appeared lost.
However, once balanced, she moved to the outside and sprouted wings to record this gutsy win.

#3 INTERNAL AFFAIRS (Box 2)
Breeding: September ’20 Zambora Brockie x Nino De Oro
Trainer: Justin Bowman (Kilmany)
Record: 44 starts 7-14-3
Dale says: Internal Affairs produced an eye-catching performance and he is certainly one to add to your blackbook following this narrow defeat behind gun sprinter Quinlan Bale.
Quinlan Bale recently recorded a comfortable win in match race conditions against star sprinter Jungle Panther on Shepparton Cup Night, which only further highlights just how big of a run this was.
