The Meadows Race 11 - Melbournegreyhounds.org.au

PAW VARNA (3) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (26.11) over 460m at Warragul. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from six starts. Can make it two on the bounce. STARBORN (8) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, two back missing the frame but last time hitting the line hard to place when second (27.75) in a Grade 5 at Horsham last time. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Hard to beat again. FULL BORE BOBBY (2) was a big winner two back scoring by 1.4 lengths then got further back last time but came home hard into third and beaten 6 lengths at this track (30.37). Won at his only start from this box. Bold showing expected. ZIPPING KOSTER (1) can feature with the right run.

Missed the frame latest (25.53) when fifth over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 8 length fifth over 515m at Sandown. Likely to find this a bit tough.
