The return of Senor Slamma will be the highlight on a strong eleven event programme at Devonport today. The punter’s friends and people’s champ has a 50% winning strike rate winning 24 from 48 and will be his first race start for caretaker trainer Reg Dickenson. Dickenson was happy with his trials since being nursed back from injury and it will be great to see whether he can return to his career best form after almost two months off.
His brother and kennelmate has drawn one and will keep him honest while Bruny Venture is due for some luck and can’t be left out of your UBET quaddies.
Two first starters from the Barcia Bale – Miss Roman Nose litter have been trialling well Penny’s Roman (R1) and Katey Roman (R2) for Rowella owners and breeders Terry and Betty Penny are in the care of Loira trainer Paul Hili and currently both greyhounds are quoted around the $2.70 mark in early markets.
Leon Brazendale’s kennel has been on fire lately with many a winner and Straight Arrow (R5) looks to be able to keep the ball rolling jumping from the pink. This Swift Fancy had a terrific win at Hobart two starts back recording 26.36 and a repeat of that run today can get him home. Kenny’s Cruise and Kinloch’s Way look his main opposition.
In the last leg of the UBET double and quadrella, Russell Watts Little Turn has the box and speed to make him a standout. This son of Irish sire Kinloch Brae likes the Devonport circuit and will appreciate the ability to settle into a good position from the wide alley.
