Radiant Jo on a roll in A6

A6 A7 A8 / Editor / 25 February 2007 / Leave a Comment

Radiant Jo (T6), the winner of his last two races, looks set to attract support in Oxford's A6 contest run over 450 metres and due underway at 15:06.

Zigzag Duty (T1), an experienced greyhound, comes here on a 14-race losing streak. The inconsistent veteran, who tends to find trouble in his races, looks hard to fancy on current form.

Quiet Scout (T2), a former stayer who likes to be in the firing line early doors, is currently on a ten-race losing streak. Ian Wills' charge, who has been knocking on the door recently, cannot be ruled out.

Keetona Ace (T3), a lightly campaigned individual, displayed plenty of early firepower when successful more than a month ago. Terry Kibble's youngster, who has a tricky draw to overcome, will need every bit of luck in-running to strike.

Key Fixture (T4), who looks open to plenty of improvement, ran a cracking race when landing an A8 contest in a fast 27.65 last month. A repeat of that effort on the calculated clock would see Angie Kibble's sluggish starter go close.

Marley Bob (T5) who made most of the running in an A7 event recently, is still without success at this higher level after 13 bites of the cherry. So layers will probably be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of taking on Terry Atkins' youngster.

Radiant Jo (T6), the youngest contender in the field, looks set to be in the mix. The impressive winner of his last two races, Robert Hannnan's promising individual, who posted a career-best 27.92 on his most recent outing, can continue on the upgrade.

Hold Them Up Jo holds aces in A5

Hold Them Up Jo (T6), who boasts the fastest recent time on the calculated clock in the race, looks set for a bold show in the A5 contest run over 450 metres and due underway at 17:11.

Terrydrum Jessie (T1), a lightly raced pup, left the traps noticeably quicker than in the past when successful in the red jacket last month. With Luciano Magnasco's charge back in her favourite lane, victory cannot be ruled out.

Staceys Joy (T2), who has a tendency to leave the machine in her own time, appears to have something to find on the clock. Ron Bicknell's bitch looks an ideal play for layers.

Shiners Classic (T3), who bounced back to make all the running earlier in the month, commands the utmost respect. With Paul Clarke's poorly drawn challenger needing to go quicker on the clock, a sharp exit is essential.

Priddy Gift (T4), who has been racing over six bends recently without cutting the mustard, looked in good order when landing a similar event recently. However, with Terry Kibble's bitch having proved unreliable in the grade in the past, the daughter of Hondo Black should attract plenty of opposition.

Spike Preview (T5) improved his trapping prowess when runner-up at the grade the other day. However, with Robert Hannan's June 04 whelp currently on an eight-race losing streak, backers may well run a mile.

Hold Them Up Jo (T6) who is lightly campaigned at this level, boasts a nice draw out wide. Robert Hannan's contender, who has been crying out for the striped jacket, looks capable of making all the running.

Moyvane Pilot boasts potential in A3

Moyvane Pilot (T2), who is set to have only his second career start, would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to feature in the finish of the concluding A3 contest run over 450 metres and due underway at 17:44.

Idea Good (T1), a former A5 grader at Swindon, may struggle to get on the bunny early doors. However, Robert Hannan's bitch, who has gradually progressed through the grades, stays well and cannot be ruled out of the equation.

Moyvane Pilot (T2), a lightly raced individual, looks an intriguing prospect. With his rivals looking exposed on paper, Paul Clarke's charge, who possesses scope, could be the one to beat.

Clear Tone (T3), who is notoriously sluggish from the boxes, looks likely to be left behind in the early stages. However, the son of Droopys Woods, who boasts the fastest recent calculated time in the race, looks capable of ending a nine-race losing run.

Diamond Dara (T4), who has just one win to his name at this level from seven attempts, created a good impression when landing a lesser event last time. Ian Wills' hound, who should be in the firing line at the corner, can finish in the mix.

Regis Girl (T5), who is inconsistent from the machine, may well be doing sterling work in the latter phases. However, with Angie Kibble's tough sort having been defeated in all of her last ten outings at this grade, layers are expected to prevail.

Blue Jay (T6), who is seen to best effect when allowed to dominate proceedings, has nothing to prove on the clock. The flip side of the coin, though, is the fact that Ron Bicknell's fast away son of Pacific Mile is still without a win at the grade after eight attempts.
