Sale: Race 2 5:22pm AEST
No. 7 Select Airley

Select Airley had been racing well over 515m at Sandown with three placings in a row in slick times before coming to Sale last start.

The Bernardo bitch proved too strong over 435m to win by 4.25 lengths in 24.31 seconds.

She rises back to this distance but it shouldn’t pose a problem.

She has the speed to cross and lead from box 7.

Bet now: Sale Race 2
Sale: Race 4 6:07pm AEST
No. 2 Short Straw Trev

Short Straw Trev has been building to a win since returning from a break and looks primed here. 

The son of Beast Unleashed gave a big sight last start over 450m at Shepparton where he led all the way besides where it counted on the post, finishing a nose second in 25.09 seconds. 

He’ll appreciate returning to Sale where he is undefeated in two starts over this distance with a personal best of 24 seconds flat. 

He’s a quick beginner so well drawn in box 2. 

Bet now: Sale Race 4
Sale: Race 6 6:52pm AEST
No. 4 Lamia Wheeze

Lamia Wheeze has started her career in great style with six wins from nine starts. 

The daughter of Aussie Infrared is looking for her third win in a row after proving too strong at Healesville before dominating Warragul over 460m with a five-length victory. 

She’s a lightning beginner and should be able to cross those drawn to her inside to lead. 

Bet now: Sale Race 6
Sale: Race 9 7:47pm AEST
No. 4 Canya Ultimate

Canya Ultimate returns from a short break looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. 

The Bernardo bitch created an impression on debut over this distance when flying out of the lids before dashing clear to win by 6.5 lengths in 24.37 seconds.  

She backed that up two starts at Bendigo where she once again won easily by six lengths and then returned to Sale to win by five lengths in 24.49 seconds. 

She has plenty of ability and can lead this field. 

Bet now: Sale Race 9

Q1 Lakeside: Race 3 5:30pm AEST
No. 1 Sunny Smiles

Sunny Smiles has built an incredible record of seven wins from 10 starts. 

The Jemma Daley-trained bitch enters the QGold Blitz Final in excellent form having won her heat in the quickest time of 19.42 seconds. 

She crossed from box 8 there but now gets the advantage of the inside box which should see her enjoy a sweet run.  

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 3
Q1 Lakeside: Race 4 5:49pm AEST
No. 1 Scenic Sundari

Scenic Sundari loves the Lakeside track having won all four of her starts here. 

The Darren “D-Russ” Russell-trained bitch qualified for the QGold Bolt Final with a slick three-length win in 21.71 seconds. 

She consistently runs quick times with all four of her wins here clocking between 21.71 and 21.82 seconds. 

She’s armed with blistering early speed so should make full use of the inside box. 

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 4
Q1 Lakeside: Race 5 6:10pm AEST
No. 7 Satoshi

Satoshi didn’t have much luck when returning from a short break when finishing at the tail in a heat of the Brisbane Young Guns two starts ago.  

The son of Jungle Deuce bounced back to form last start when recovering from a slow start over this course and distance to charge home and finish second in 25.81 seconds. 

He raced in amazing fashion in his first preparation, winning all three starts including the G3 Vince Curry Memorial Maiden.  

He should be able to build momentum with a slow dog drawn to his outside in box 8.  

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 5
Q1 Lakeside: Race 8 7:06pm AEST
No. 4 Blue Blend

Blue Blend caught the eye in his heat of the Lakeside Cup last start where he was slow away but flew home to finish 1.25 lengths second in 25.38 seconds. 

The Jeff Crawford-trained dog had been racing in great form before that with two wins over 520m at Albion Park including once in a scintillating 29.60 seconds. 

He still can do a few things wrong but when he’s on, he’s got the potential to be one of the best dogs in Queensland. 

If he gets clear air then he may prove hard to beat.

Ballarat: Race 7 9:02pm AEST
No. 2 Black Xena

Black Xena returned to the winner’s kennel last start over 435m at Sale with an emphatic six-length victory in quick time.

The Plaintiff bitch was a dominant winner in her first two starts where she claimed her maiden win on debut at Sale by 5.5 lengths and backed it up with a seven-length romp at Warragul.

Her only loss in four starts was a half-length second two starts back over 400m at Warragul.

She should jump straight on the arm and prove hard to catch.

Bet now: Ballarat Race 7
Ballarat: Race 8 9:27pm AEST
No. 2 Beach Bourbski

Beach Bourbski is well placed here dropping back in grade. 

The son of Barcia Bale led all the way last start to win over 525m at The Meadows. 

He’s a versatile chaser who won’t mind racing over this distance given he finished fourth in the G2 Warrnambool Cup just two starts ago and boasts a slick 25.18 seconds over this course and distance. 

His blistering early speed should see him jump straight to the front and go all the way. 

Bet now: Ballarat Race 8
Ballarat: Race 10 10:12pm AEST
No. 8 Serial Sticker

Serial Sticker should be back to peak fitness following a short break. 

Two starts ago the son of Mepunga Blazer won over 400m at Geelong in a best of the night 22.27 seconds before not having any luck in a heat of the Warrnambool Cup. 

The G1 placegetter is undefeated in two starts over this course and distance with a best of 21.71 seconds. 

There looks to be good speed in the race which could see trouble early so the outside box may work to his advantage. 

Bet now: Ballarat Race 10
Ballarat: Race 12 10:50pm AEST
No. 2 Paw Usami

Paw Usami has been racing in good form with two wins and a second from her past three starts. 

The Dyna Tron bitch has won two from five races over this course and distance including three starts ago when proving too strong in 22.36 seconds. 

She’s a quick beginner so should be able to hold her position from box 2.   

Bet now: Ballarat Race 12

Q2 Parklands: Race 2 6:59pm AEST
No. 8 Miles On It

Miles On It had his chances dashed early in the G3 Brisbane Young Guns Final last start, copping a check heading into the first turn that ended his run. 

Prior to that, the Jeff Crawford-trained chaser was in strong form, notching back-to-back second-place finishes, including a solid effort in the Eric Thomson Maiden Final. 

Four runs ago, he impressed with a sharp 29.87-second victory over 520m at Albion Park. 

With his early pace and a proven record from box 8, where he’s unbeaten in one start, he’s well-positioned to bounce back wearing the pink rug. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 2
Q2 Parklands: Race 8 9:08pm AEST
No. 3 Star Turn

Star Turn is in scintillating form, having claimed victory in seven of his past nine starts. 

Trained by Jeff Crawford, he showed his class last start by leading into the first turn and holding on to win the G3 Brisbane Young Guns Final in a tight finish. 

Three runs back, he added the Rockhampton Cup to his resume and has consistently broken the 30-second barrier over 520m at Albion Park in recent outings. 

A sharp beginner, he may face early pressure from Moet Magic, but from box 3 he’s perfectly drawn to settle in a prime position and make his presence felt once again. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 8
Q2 Parklands: Race 9 9:32pm AEST
No. 8 Know All Leah

Know All Leah was unlucky last start over this track and trip, getting squeezed early before unleashing a powerful finish to fall just short, clocking a slick 29.85 seconds. 

The daughter of Sennachie had been in solid form prior, including a sharp 27.51-second win over 484m at Casino four runs back, and a narrow defeat to Mckeon in a gutsy performance at the same venue. 

She’ll take improvement from her recent Albion Park run, and the wide draw in box 8 could suit her chasing style, allowing her to wind up without early interference. 

Given a clear passage, she’s more than capable of finishing over the top. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 9
Q2 Parklands: Race 10 9:53pm AEST
No. 4 Villante

Villante relished the return to Masters company last start, following a solid run of form that included two placings from five starts in tougher grade. 

Trained by Chris Brydon, he showed his trademark early dash to lead over this track and trip, only to be reeled in late and finish second by three-quarters of a length in 30.12 seconds. 

His last Masters win came seven starts ago at Albion Park, where he swept around the field on the first turn and powered home in 30.15 seconds. 

With his early speed, he’s a strong chance to cross the inside runners and take control of the race. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 10

Craig Sheppard
Ballarat: Race 3 6:43pm AEST
No. 3 Take Notice

Take Notice is rarely far away and owns a good record over this course and distance. 

The son of Aston Dee Bee registered a slick time here five starts ago when leading all the way for a four-length win in 22.30 seconds. 

He clocked 8.45 seconds to the first marker in that win and is generally a quick beginner so a repeat of that should see him hard to beat. 

Bet now: Ballarat Race 3
Ballarat: Race 5 7:28pm AEST
No. 6 Paw Gertrude

Paw Gertrude will appreciate returning to Ballarat after two below par efforts at Bendigo. 

The Allen Deed bitch won here over 390m three starts back when bolting in by six lengths. 

She’ll enjoy the rise in distance given she has won three of her four starts over this course and distance with a personal best of 25.10 seconds. 

She has the speed to cross and lead from box 6. 

Bet now: Ballarat Race 5
Ballarat: Race 8 8:28pm AEST
No. 2 Paw Xena

Paw Xena is racing in a purple patch of form with three wins from her past four starts. 

The daughter of Bernardo was last seen winning over 390m here in 22.18 seconds. 

She won’t be fazed by the rise in distance given she won over this course and distance in February in 25.25 seconds and defeated Paw Roxy. 

She can get on the arm from box 2.  

Bet now: Ballarat Race 8
Ballarat: Race 9 8:52pm AEST
No. 3 Rivers Meet

Rivers Meet looks well placed in this Maiden Final after winning his heat last week. 

The son of Bernardo mustered speed early to win by 4.25 lengths in 25.88 seconds. 

He’s a consistent chaser who has finished second in three of his other four starts including a 25.86 second effort over this course and distance on debut. 

The two dogs drawn to his inside have speed but he should be able to go by them on the turn.  

Bet now: Ballarat Race 9

Daily Greyhound Tips – Tuesday, May 13

Ryan Cook
Warragul: Race 3 (7:25pm)
No. 4 Galloping Red

GALLOPING RED (4) looks suited getting out over longer after knuckling down for second over 595m at Sandown last week. The son of Bernado was attempting a big rise in distance that day, so he should be better for the run with the middle box suiting. Look for him to push forward early and attempt to run his rivals off their feet here. 

Bet now: Warragul Race 3
Warragul: Race 5 (8:05pm)
No. 1 Lightning Jewel

LIGHTNING JEWEL (1) almost picks herself here with superior form over the track and distance. The daughter of Fernando Bale has put together 10 wins over this journey here at Warragul and is likely to find this step back in class much easier. Armed with plenty of early speed, she’ll be incredibly difficult to catch. 

Bet now: Warragul Race 5
Warragul: Race 8 (9:05pm)
No. 1 Aston Hamilton

ASTON HAMILTON (1) can use the inside box to his advantage and save his best for late. He owns an impressive 25.64-second PB here over the track and distance and also boasts a perfect record first-up from a spell. 

Bet now: Warragul Race 8
Warragul: Race 10 (9:44pm)
No. 7 Blame Her

BLAME HER (7) looks to be one to watch following her dazzling 7.8 length maiden win at Warragul last month. She’s been given a few weeks off between runs, but is likely to give this a red hot crack if she can find a stalking position just off the speed in the early stages. 

Bet now: Warragul Race 10

Sale: Race 4 6:19pm AEST
No. 8 My Name’s Eden

My Name’s Eden will appreciate dropping slightly in distance after leading over 515m at Sandown last start before being run down late to finish second in 29.55 seconds. 

The Harley Whelan-trained dog has been racing in good form with four wins from his past seven starts with two of those producing best of the night times at Warragul. 

He races well over this course and distance and boasts a personal best of 24.14 seconds which he set from box 7. 

He has the speed to cross from box 8. 

Bet now: Sale Race 4
Sale: Race 5 6:42pm AEST
No. 8 Dr. Zepher

Dr. Zepher will appreciate returning to Sale after finishing at the tail at Healesville last start. 

The son of Bernardo has won four from seven over this course and distance including four starts back from this box. 

He crossed from box 8 to lead his semi-final of the Battlers Cup before going on to win in 24.43 seconds. 

His personal best over the course and distance is 24.25 seconds which he set just three starts ago in the final of the Battlers Cup. 

Bet now: Sale Race 5
Sale: Race 6 7:05pm AEST
No. 3 Dr. Asher

Dr. Asher is low flying with three wins from his past four starts and looks hard to beat here. 

The son of Bernardo has been particularly damaging over this course and distance throughout his career with his two most recent wins being here. 

He was ultra impressive two starts back when exiting this box and going on to win by 12 lengths in 23.87 seconds. 

A repeat of that run should see him awfully hard to beat. 

Bet now: Sale Race 6
Sale: Race 10 8:25pm AEST
No. 3 Black Xena

Black Xena is looking to return to the winner’s kennel after leading over 400m at Warragul last start until the shadows of the post.  

The Plaintiff bitch was dominant winner in her two starts prior to that including her debut race over this course and distance. 

On that occasion she showed excellent early speed to go all the way for a 5.5 length win in 24.38 seconds. 

She should jump straight on the arm and give them a touch up. 

Bet now: Sale Race 10

Q1 Lakeside: Race 1 4:53pm AEST
No. 7 Satoshi

Satoshi didn’t have much luck when returning from a short break when finishing at the tail in a heat of the Brisbane Young Guns last start. 

The son of Jungle Deuce raced in amazing fashion in his first preparation, winning all three starts. 

One of those wins was in the G3 Vince Curry Memorial Maiden. 

He should cross from box 7 and beat this field comfortably. 

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 1
Q1 Lakeside: Race 2 5:15pm AEST
No. 6 Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek has taken to racing at Q1Lakeside in great style. 

The Tony Brett-trained son of Bernardo was excellent here on debut when winning by 3.5 lengths in 25.48 seconds. 

He was a touch unlucky last start when finishing a close third in 25.66 seconds. 

You must respect the Brett kennel and this youngster looks to have ability. 

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 2
Q1 Lakeside: Race 4 5:52pm AEST
No. 4 Wolf Thunder

Wolf Thunder has started his career in sparkling fashion and is looking to remain undefeated. 

The Tony Brett-trained bitch won over this course and distance on debut in 25.71 seconds. 

She went even quicker last start when clocking 25.51 seconds in a two-length victory. 

She’s shown good early speed so should be able to cross from box 4. 

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 4
Q1 Lakeside: Race 6 6:35pm AEST
No. 1 Power And Glory

Power And Glory is currently one of the best, if not the best chaser in Australia and will not only be winning this race but should break the track record.  

The son of Hooked On Scotch was last seen winning the G1 Golden Easter Egg in a scorching 29.15 seconds which was just outside the Wentworth Park 520m record. 

He had a look at this course and distance recently in a trial where he broke 25 seconds. 

While he can be risky at box rise, he shouldn’t have any dramas from the inside box. 

Bet now: Q1 Lakeside Race 6

Bendigo: Race 5 8:30pm AEST
No. 4 Neo Devere

Neo Devere was electric when qualifying fastest for this final last week. 

The son of Fernando Bale flew out of the boxes to lead all the way for a 5.5 length victory in 28.07 seconds. 

He worked to the first marker in 6.57 seconds, so he should be able to cross the three dogs to his inside and get on the arm.  

Bet now: Bendigo Race 5
Bendigo: Race 6 8:53pm AEST
No. 8 Matt Loch

Matt Loch has been racing in blistering form with six wins in a row and I doubt he’s losing this.   

The son of Aussie Infrared was brilliant last start when he broke the Warrnambool 450m track record on his way to the Cup win.   

Prior to that, he was sensational when winning his heat of the Geelong Cup in the quickest time of 29.59 seconds before claiming the final.   

Pure and simple, he’s a superstar and I expect him to cross from box 8 before breaking the hands of the clock.  

Bet now: Bendigo Race 6
Bendigo: Race 8 9:35pm AEST
No. 8 Talcott Bale

Talcott Bale faces the 500m at Bendigo for the first time but arrives here in great form. 

The son of Allen Deed was very good last start over 450m at Warrnambool where he flew out of the lids to lead all the way in 24.95 seconds. 

Three and four starts back he won in near best of the night times at Sale and Horsham. 

He won his only previous race from box 8 and he should be able to cross and get on the arm. 

Bet now: Bendigo Race 8
Bendigo: Race 9 9:55pm AEST
No. 7 Paw Whistler

Paw Whistler is running red hot with eight wins from his past 10 starts including his past five in a row. 

The Mark Delbridge-trained dog was excellent last start when leading all the way over 410m at Horsham in a best of the night 23.11 seconds. 

Box 7 won’t faze him given two of his past five wins came when jumping from box 8 at Shepparton and Geelong.  

Bet now: Bendigo Race 9

Q2 Parklands: Race 3 7:25pm AEST
No. 1 Zipping Viper

Zipping Viper has drawn the prized box 1 for the third consecutive race.  

Despite some bad luck on the Lakeside track last start, the Tom Tzouvelis-trained dog showed his strength two starts back by winning over 520m at Albion Park in 30.23 seconds. 

He recently trialed over this distance at Q2 Parklands, clocking an impressive 30.12 seconds.  

With two wins from three starts in the red rug, he seems well-positioned to add another victory to his record. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 3
Q2 Parklands: Race 4 7:43pm AEST
No. 8 Mckeon

Mckeon is in a remarkable streak, aiming for her sixth consecutive win.  

The daughter of Bernardo has been in top form at Casino, with her last five victories over 484m, all being the best times of the night. 

She has an unbeaten record from box 8, including her recent win in the Northern Rivers Cup Final, where she led from the start.  

Although this will be her first race over the new distance, she shows every sign of handling it well. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 4
Q2 Parklands: Race 7 8:49pm AEST
No. 4 Stowaway

Stowaway will benefit from dropping back to 600m after an unlucky run over 720m at Albion Park last start. 

The Tom Tzouvelis-trained dog had been in good form prior to that, including a third-place finish in the G3 Golden Chase Final at Ipswich. 

He has a strong record over this distance at Albion Park, having broken the 35-second mark.  

From box 4, he has won twice and placed second twice in five races. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 7
Q2 Parklands: Race 8 9:13pm AEST
No. 2 Hara’s Kitana

Hara’s Kitana has had a flawless start to her career, winning all four of her races so far. 

The daughter of Hooked On Scotch has been posting impressive times over this distance at Albion Park, including a victory in the Eric Thomson Memorial Final, where she clocked 29.89 seconds two starts ago. 

With her lightning-fast starts, she should be able to take the lead early and maintain it from box 2. 

Bet now: Q2 Parklands Race 8
