Greyhounds Call Me Grace strong chance

Canterbury’s best-per-formed juvenile bitch this season, Call Me Grace, heads a strong field for the $l5OO Roneo Laurels, the second leg of the T.A.B. ddouble at the Christhcurch Greyhound Racing Club’s meeting today. Call Me Grace took out the Lord Shannon Cup at Queen Elizabeth II Park in mid-March after having an interrupted preparation due to a throat infection, but was then unplaced over 805 m. An impressive heat winner in the South Island Championship, the Don Robinson-trained bitch then finished fourth in Magic Commands record breaking final. This field does not have the likes of Magic Command, and Call Me Grace should find the slight drop in class to her liking after having compiled a grand record against her own sex this season. The Mosgiel visitor Crafty Tiree is going for 5 wins from 5 totalisator meeting starts at Q.E. II Park, and considering she was last when turning for home at her last start over 330 m and got up to win, the black speedster will be running the 560 m out as well as anything. Silent Jewel has won three of her five career starts, and she streeted a class two field on June 7 by five lengths, but this will be her toughest test to date and will need luck in the running from box No. 5. Kaytee Bee has not had a lot going for her in recent starts and is capable of causing the upset, while the speedy Canasta Club and Wingatui Rose will be attempting to take their trainer Ray Adcock out to 125 wins for the current season.
