***Race 7 Nigel Clark Memorial Stakes..in honour of a valued friend to so many industry participants,and keen supporter of The Auckland Greyhound Club.Nigel passed away suddenly 9 days ago,and posthumously was represented by a winner with his final starter Polly's Princess here last
Sunday.RIP Sharkie,you were one of a kind.Sadly missed already.
R1..REVENANT..unbeaten in two runs to date,and hattrick seems likely.Took a couple of strides to get going first start,but flew traps next up and bolted in by 6.25L in slick 18.60.WHATS SHE PAYNE..was also a heat winner from this box,and appeals as quinella prospect.
R3..WIRE IT UP..runnerup to the talented Brother Rabbit last run here,has been freshened since,and drawn to enjoy sweet trip.Capable of bold showing here.CARMIA MATANNA..MADDER THAN..TONY CANT GO..appeal most for quinella/trifecta .
R4..JELLYSTONE PARK..runnerup in three of six NZ starts,and a win for him looks close at hand.
R5..OSTI'S RUBY..making NZ debut,has caught the eye at trials.This field mostly low grade types,so gets easy chance of putting her paws in the till.
Race 6..1st Leg $30,000 Pick 6..
Very even field,and a case could be made for most runners.
MISS AMY DRY.. downgraded Camb/Thurs and bolted in 5.75L,so gets bonus run today.In similar form deserves top ranking.DREAM A WIN..is a handy type in this grade,and has a good record from this box.JAZZY TOKAAM..caused trouble here last week when making track debut.Should be better for
the experience.SCOTT NO WIVES..a CD visitor,only twice unplaced in 14 runs to date.Up in grade today,but always very honest.TOW MATER..also up in grade,after dual wins here last week.Another slick beginning and he can be a threat.BEACH STREET..torpedoed hopes of most Pick 6 punters
here last Sun,when made quick beginning and never headed.A moody type,but capable on occasions.BOLSTAD..is generally honest,but I prefer him drawn closer in.
R7..another wide open contest.
DOLLY BREEN..has drawn inside box past 3 starts,and tangled early each time tying to get off rail.Much better suited box 7 today.A peak effort will take her close,but she has been winless since a hattrick of wins here in May.TEE KAY GIRL..forgive unplaced run in top grade
distance event Camb/Thur.Previously in money 9/10 starts,and can be relied upon for a solid effort.FANCY KATE..has dropped a couple of grades since Sept,and better placed here.Led throughout here last Sun until gobbled up late by Rezende.Lesser chances,but for those with larger
budgets..CATCHING ON..winless since beating Rasmah here last April.Has dropped a couple of grades since peak,and enjoys his best record from this box.ON MY MIND..rocked punters with all way victory at long odds here last Sun,but up in grade and tougher today.
R8..NATURAL JOURNEY..opened his NZ career with two dashing wins here last month in very slick times.Struck early trouble last start and never ran on.If avoids trouble from squeeze box today,the one to beat.BOTANY SHELLEY..has improved out of sight since joining Bob Bond kennel.Has become
reliable out of the traps,so respect from ace draw.RUN OFF ME..was C5 earlier this year,so much more competitive this C2 grade.Holds good record this box.WHAT SHIRAZ..mixing distances of late,but capable on occasions.Has his best record from this box.For those who wish to spread the
net wider..FORGET NOT..a CD visitor who downgrades today,and a previous winner here.SYDENHAM PRETTY..THRILLING VIRUS..both a hope for those that like longshots.
R9..an interesting maiden 603metres.
THRILLING FEVER..invariably makes ground late in her middle distance races,and delivered over some handy opponents Wang/Wed over 645m.Gets bonus run,and set to avoid early congestion from box 8.TALEVERO..making horrible beginnings of late,then making up some ground.Seeks rail early,so
favoured by draw.Can be dangerous today.MOONSHINE LASS..mum Shining Comet competed in 3 Silver Collars (779m),so staying blood in her veins.Only tiny,but capable of stepping early and leading these a merry chase.Checked when handy on home turn and unplaced at only previous attempt
this journey.SNOWIE SECRET..never in contention from wide draw midweek behind Thrilling Fever,but ran handy time when winning two back at Wanganui.
R10..TESS TOKAAM..queen of sprinters here,winning 29/54 ,and never further back than second in running in all her wins.Failed to cross from box 8 last week and tasted rare defeat.Can atone and be pick 6 anchor.ELITE DESTINY..looked good coming through grades,but lack of slick box speed her
archilles heel in C5.Has placed in his previous 3 runs here,and favoured by inside draw,so can place again.Schofield Team line up 5 runners..ONIE'S LAD..appeals most.Resumed last week after 4 month layoff,with solid 3rd.Should derive improvement,and well suited to wide draws.Expect him to
hit the line strongly.
R11..Pick 6 Anchor/Bet Of Day..HEIR OF DESTINY..made NZ debut here last Tues,and beaten fav when 3rd Had been trialling extra well,and set to derive benefit from first tote run in 5 months.Looks outstanding winning prospect.WINSOME SKY..earlier this year she won a C5 race/now down to
C1.Came from off pace to win Camb/Thur,so bonus run today.Can jump better from box 1.SHOWTIME ADDIS..took 18 starts to clear maidens,but won again 2 days later,and looks best chance of the quartet lining up for Jared Udy/Denise Cottam Combo.
TUESDAY 03/11/09
MELBOURNE CUP MEETING
A twelve race card commences at 5.56pm.
$30,000 Pick 6 R7-R12.
R1..Favourite Punters given a couple of blood noses last meeting,but look set to be rewarded with NATURAL JOURNEY,a last start winner here 18.39 over PRINCESS SNOWY.The latter has led and run quinella her last 5 runs,and can well do so again.
R2..JELLYSTONE PARK...narrowly denied by camera in 2 of 4 NZ runs to date.Must surely win one soon.
R3..REVENANT..dashing debut winner Sun 18.77.A stride slow early,but has poor box dog drawn outside,so with clear room early will repeat.
R6..Clark Kennel plays major role here.COLLECTION.. has jumped C1-C4 by winning 4 of last 6,whilst ATOMIC CLAIM has equally run 1st or last in previous 6 runs.Look to SHINE FOR US..as value runner.
R7..MISS POKEY..debut run this track for new trainer,can set Pick 6 punters alight on a winning note.
R12..HEIR OF DESTINY..making NZ Debut,most recent runs at Wentworth Park/Richmond May-June.Can 'Top 'n Tail Pick 6 for Trainer Phil Green.(Appropriate as it was his brainchild that led to this raceday evolving from 4 non-tote races to a full tote raceday)
SUCCESSFUL PUNTING EVERYONE.
SUNDAY 01/11/09
A twelve race card commences at the later time of 4.17pm.
Nine Favourites Won last Sun,and that pattern can repeat today.
Trainer to follow today**Phil Green.
R1..POLLY'S PRINCESS..wont be a more popular winner all day if successful.Sharkie had this dog very close to a win,and today could well be it.Her 3 tote starts to date have been at various venues,plus she did win her qualy trial here in an 18.85.WILLEE WINDSOR..has mixed his distances to
date,but just beaten a head at previous attempt this T/D,and can feature here.
R3..LADY MARIANNE..bred by Trainer Arch Lawrence from his good stayer Lady Tianne,and looks best chance of 3 runners he lines up here.Making track debut on back of 8L maiden victory Camb/Thurs.Running out noms,can repeat.
R4..ZERO RANGER..has run best time of day in lone tote start,and 2 recent raceday trials.Looks set on fast track to race up the grades.YAMBLA BOB..has been ultra consistant in brief career,and delivered 2 effortless wins during past week.Odds will be short,but looks deadset
quinella.
R6..REVENANT..won qualy trial here last Sun 18.89,and in field devoid of form,can make a winning debut.
R7..BROTHER RABBIT..tasted defeat just once in 6 career starts,when having checked passage here last Sun.Gets bonus run this grade after bolting in Camb/Thurs.Will take plenty of catching if he clears inside dog early.
R8..very even lineup,and Pick 6 chasers should consider dogs 2.3.4.5.6.7. to be safe.
R9..JAZZY TOKAAM..beaten fav in NZ debut for Fahey's at Add.Warrants including here.SET IN STONE..downgraded and won Wang/Fri,gets chance to repeat from ace draw.PRIVATE PEDRO..holds best winning time this field,and can deliver from wide draws.
R10..TESS TOKAAM..an allway winner 5 of last 6 here.Only poor jump will deny her again.WINSOME NOVA..recorded 2 slicks wins in good time here last month.Can be main danger at good odds with repeat beginning.
R11..EMBEZZLEMENT..super win last time here in NZRS Final,beating kennelmates incl Rasmah.Sinced trekked to Chch/Thur and unplaced.If travelling not taken any toll,can spoil The Schofield Trifecta.
R12..FORTIS JOURNEY..won first attempt this grade with consumate ease Camb/Thur.Well placed from ace draw to capitalise on bonus run,and give trainer Phil Green a major role in Pick 6.

FEATURES..
RACE 9 at 5.25pm - Time Honoured Waterloo Cup (Group 1)
RACE 7 at 4.37pm - NZ Racing Series Distance Final 779m.
PICK 6/QUADDIE PREVIEW.
RACE 7 Pick 6-Leg 1..NZRS Distance Final 779m.
This race robbed of much interest,with heat winner Kitty's Thunder since coming into season and scratched.This paves the way for Arch Lawrence to hold a firm vice-like grip on the outcome.TEEGAN quickest heat winner has won 3 times here at this extreme distance,most recent being
Silver Collar Consolation.SHEA SHERIE ran 3rd in Silver Collar Final,race hardened after two strong runs at Addington last month,and top heat second to Kitty's Thunder.TIGGER FOOT is extremely versatile,can run all day,and set to earn prizemoney here.MR BONZALES has been solid this year
over the longer trips,but minor place his best prospect.CALM RIP runnerup to Teegan last week,but place best option here.KNOW BEST was an impressive Kingston Cup heat winner at Addington last month,but ran much below that standard last week,and needs vast improvement to strike
winning blow here.
RACE 8 Pick 6-Leg 2..
RIDDLE MAN enjoyed Group 1 glory,winning Wellington Cup in Jan.Beset with injuries since,and downgraded to C3.Stormed home into 3rd here last Sun,showing another win is close at hand.Kennelmate EMBEZZLEMENT has recorded two strong wins this week,and can make it three.SUB CLASS in a rich
vein of form,and twice runnerup this week.However will look for the rail early,so not ideally drawn in box 7.DARK FANCY has also dropped from C5 quickly,so must be given some hope from box 1.
RACE 9 Pick 6-Leg 3:Quaddie-Leg 1::WATERLOO CUP Group One.
Finalists Qualified Wanganui:Rockabye Lad + Kid Delaney:Christchurch:Watmough + Tricky Shelley:Cambridge:Fancy Mel + Winsome Jess:Auckland:Seaswift + Fancy Shelly.
Team Schofield provide 4 runners and Team Fahey 2.
A very even field with half a dozen capable of winning,so luck in running will play a major part in the outcome.ROCKABYE LAD gets my top vote.Has compiled terrific record since crossing the Tasman late last year.Has won 2 Group Ones,including epic NZCup defeating Paws Winner Size Can
Matter.Resumed racing after 3 month layoff with dominant heat win,and always highly competitive at elite level.TRICKY SHELLEY has stamped herself as a real up and comer,facing her toughest test to date.It counts against her that this is her track debut,but she overcame that obstacle when
recently winning a Group 2 Invitational at Cambridge.Due utmost respect here.WATMOUGH at top of his game,winning heat for this,then Sister City Cup here last Sun.If leads will take some catching.FANCY SHELLY drawn to enjoy sweet trip,placed 3rd in big race last week,and has run 3
quinellas with SEASWIFT prior,so place hope again at least.Seaswift is blessed with genuine box speed,and set hot pace here last week before run down late by Rasmah.FANCY MEL can display brilliant speed,but mostly shines on one turn tracks.Expect outside drawn KID DELANEY and WINSOME JESS
to struggle.
RACE 10 Pick 6-Leg 4:Quaddie-Leg 2.
BET OF DAY..Anchor..SHOW THE MONEY..a beaten fav last start when making Addington debut.Three prior runs at Manukau/Cambridge saw 3 crushing wins in quick times.Also holds top winning record from wide box's.
RACE 11 Pick 6-Leg 5:Quaddie-Leg 3.
VIREYA..couldn't have been more impressive,recording 2 wins during the week.Poised to complete a hat trick.SHINE FOR US had disappointed for a while,but back to peak form last month,can feature here.SPY POWER returned to races midweek after fall 21May.Look for quick improvement,as has won
twice in C5,albeit at Cambridge.
RACE 12 Final Leg Pick 6:Quaddie.
Very even field presents punters with a headache to select.BOLSTAD was a close third in similar field here last week from same box 1,so set to go close again.SYDENHAM SMITH a veteran centurian,but likely to gain early galloping room and can feature.CYCLONE PRESTO has only a
couple of thirds to show from his prior 10 starts,but recently downgraded and can show up here.If PRIVATE PEDRO regains field off ballot,a must include.
EARLY RACE TOP CHANCES.
RACE 3:KARATA ROAD has improved with each run,and looked a nextup winner after strong second last week behind Winsome Opawa.
RACE 6:COLLECTION a dashing 7L winner here last Sun,then fell midweek Cambridge.Can win again.

Manukau 100k Pick 619/7/09
Today affords Greyhound Punters the rare opportunity of chasing a $100,000 Jackpot Pot Of Gold.
Club General Manager Robert Death has done his best to select the most Even Races on Today's Card to make the task a challenge!
Leg 1(Race5)- 13.46pm.
A moderate field of maiden sprinters, does offer the chance of an anchor in CHILD'S PLAY..this dog will appreciate room his wide draw allows,and does hit the line strong.A solid 2nd midweek Wanganui (tho' no consolation to punter who wagered $10k on nose),has been
runnerup in 3/5 NZ starts.LEFT CAMBER..can step early,and a couple of recent 2nds here suggest she can take advantage if fav finds trouble early.THRILLING RAY..placed 3rd 1L behind Childs Play midweek,but usually slow from traps,so needs luck from squeeze trap.SUCH HOPE..ran best race of
short career when 3rd to smart Uncle Dennis,btn 4L.Ace draw helps.PRINCESS WHALE..has less convictions than rivals,and has shown some early speed,so with natural improvement an outside chance.
Leg 2- 2.02pm.
A repeat of Last Sundays quinella looks on the cards.MADDER THAN..bolted in by 6L from this box,then checked out of contention midweek Wanganui.WIRE IT UP..also ran midweek Wanganui,a solid 3rd from wide draw.Owns best winning time this field,and drawn well to go
close.PERSUASION and GIRL LEG..are both devoid of early speed,but run home strong.MOONSHINE LASS..has become more solid of late,and on pace runner favoured by ace draw.
Leg 3- 2.10pm.
Very even,the proverbial Field Job.A case can be made for most runners here.
BANKSIDE LASS..seeking hattrick since changing kennels,having been allway winner in two recent runs.LEFT JAB..strung together 5 allway wins when changing kennels 3 months back,has since struggled,but can be dangerous with slick beginning.ANOTHER JENNY..prefers this
track/distance and has good box manners,whilst GRADUATED CLASS..is versatile and always a chance.SUPER DRY..yet to win this grade from 11 attempts,but caught last stride midweek Cambridge.
Leg 4- 2.35pm.
Open class sprinters,with another possible anchor.
TESS TOKAAM..returned last Sun after 5 week spell and added to outstanding record here,winning 19/38.SLINGBACK..brilliant winner here last month after lengthy injury spell.Repeat effort would see him a danger.PRIVATE PEDRO..fresh from 7week layoff,could jump and be
dangerous.ALLEGRO VISION..usually displays blistering early pace,but yet to win in 5 attempt here.NATIONAL DEBT..SIMPLY BLESSED..also hold some claims here.
Leg 5- 2.53pm.
Very confusing Race,with 2 of Country's ex Top Dogs returning from career threatening injuries.
MAGIC SPIKE..as Group1 winner,and unbeaten 7/7 here has impeccible stats,but it was believed his career was over,so minor miracle he has returned.Trials to date have been solo sprints,but his class is not in question,just his reaction to being in full field.DIAMOND
ZAC..also returns from serious injury,but question mark in full field.BUZZ CAFE..strong win here last week,and genuine strong chance.CAWBOURNE TIGER..made rapid progress last campaign,and quick from box's.Fresh from 7week layoff,fitness at business end an unknown factor today.KITTY'S
THUNDER..has been ultra consistant since being Silver Collar Finalist,not without some hope.
Leg 6- #.10pm.
An even lineup of C4 sprinters,with many chances.
WILD FLYNN..very competitive last 3runs,and just caught late midweek Cambridge.Strong chance.WITCH JASPER..running out noms after outfinishing W.Flynn midweek,but will need to avoid outside dog early.SYDENHAM SMITH..hasnt begun well of late,but aided by ace box and can
be threat.STAR CONQUEST..was a quality open class sprinter and still competitive this grade.

PRINCE MARCIANO...placed 5/9 in brief career,and runs his best races at Manukau.Can swoop and be danger in this lineup.
PRINCE ALBERTO...placed 1/5 and littermate of above.Ran career best when 2nd here last visit.Lacks early speed but improving type.
SAMBO WARRIOR...has fewest convictions here,and money on in debut.Expect improvement and could be boilover chance off ballot.
Race 6 (2.04 pm) Pick 6/Quaddie Leg 2...$2,500 Bonus Trifecta
DREAM SEEKER...kennel hot with 4wins here last Sun.Runnerup Thrilling Doll then,but with 2 slow dogs inside,can lead and turn tables today.
THRILLING DOLL...holds best winning time here (18.64),and won 2 of last 6 here.Ran down Dream Seeker in impressive style here last Sun,but relies on luck in running,as not blessed with good box speed.Still warrants top two ranking.
PYFO WILLIE...trapping well at present,and looks best of remainder,but does struggle at business end.Yet to win in 22 runs here,but trifecta hope.
HALSTROM BALE...unplaced in 11 runs since last win here 22Feb.Dropped two grades since,but yet to show up 5starts box 1.Trifecta hope with peak effort.
THRILLING JIM...winless in 24 runs clearing maidens last Nov,but minor trifecta hope here.
CARIBBEAN JACK...took 19 starts to clear maidens in modest time.Led and placed Camb midweek,but only minor trifecta hope.
FANCY GIRL...also winless in 24 runs since maiden victory 2Jan.Placed at only sprint last Nov,but only minor trifecta hope.
Race 7 (2.22pm) Pick 6/Quaddie Leg 3.
CAPTAIN CARLOS...lightly raced,all 3 career starts at Wanganui,tho qualified here.Displays fine box speed,aided with slow dog drawn outside,looks top choice.
BROTHER BADGER...previously C4 runner,has run several solid placings since downgrading to C1,and can expect another genuine run here.Main danger.
COINCIDE...notorious slow beginner,but can swoop around field from this outside draw.Best upset hope.
SYDENHAM PRETTY...busy girl with 2 runs/both placed midweek at Wanganui,but win would surprise here.
Race 8 (2.40 pm) Pick 6/Quaddie Leg 4...$7,500 Bonus First Four.
DOLLY BREEN...looked good reaching this grade,but poor jumps recent starts torpedoed her chances.With peak beginning capable of winning,but even field.
REZENDE...racing generously,with strong 2nds last two runs here.Loves heading to rail early,so box 6 not ideal.Will be tough if avoids early trouble.
SHARMANS MAGIC...easy C1 victor here last week,and dog on the rise.Jumps grade to mostly C3 rivals so much tougher,but worth including.
BORN ENTERTAINER...had disappointed until strong midweek winner Camb 375m.Yet to pay divi in 6 runs here,but suited to wide draws,so first 4 hope.
PAYNEFUL TRUTH...tends to struggle at end of 520m here,but did upset this grade pick6 last month at long odds.Include if budget allows.First 4 hope.
LAGOON FIFI...an ex C5 runner having first race this track.Recent kennel change may spark him up,but minor first 4 hope looks best chance.
Race 9 (2.57pm) Pick 6 Leg 5.
WINSOME JESS...led and pushed Buzz Cafe for a long way when runnerup here last Sun.Another good beginning makes her a leading chance.
SHOWTIME LEO...never in contention when beaten fav NZ debut Camb midweek.Did requalify this track last week,from well performed litter,warrants respect.
PICCADILLY LINE...tends to switch on/off in races,and just does what he needs to do,but runs his best races this track.Capable of winning.
WILL SHE ECHO...has starred this track at 603m,but capable of bold showing this lineup,especially if wet track saps energy of some rivals.
FANCY KATE...running solid races of late,can get handy from this draw,and not without a chance.
ARCTIC ROMEO...has displayed above average ability in brief NZ career,and easy midweek winner Camb 457m.However drawn inside out,so a risk of finding trouble.
Race 10 (3.15 pm) Pick 6 Leg 6.
KAMACO...recently downgraded,and delivered best NZ run in brief career when finishing well as runnerup What Shiraz (won again nicely here last week).Leading hope.
THRILLING ANGUS...holds best winning time this field (18.66) beat Sharmans Magic Maiden Final.Madeup good ground when laststart 3rd after 5 week layoff.
ITCHICOO PARK...abject failure last 2runs,and makes sprint debut.Showed slick speed when recent winner here (30.55),can win with swift jump.
DAPPER...ran 2nd at only previous sprint,and has ability to feature if favs find trouble.
THRILLING CATCH...recent kennel change has seen improved form,and flew to win Camb 375 midweek.However that first career sprint win,likely find this too short.
