Stewards afforded trainer Mr. B Hazelgrove the opportunity to comment on the below market performance of THAIDAY NIGHT. Mr. Hazelgrove stated it was the greyhound’s 1^st start on the track and didn’t handle the running on a straight track. He further added that the drop down in distance may have also hindered its performance.

FLYING RAVEN and GUNNA WINK were slow to begin. Shortly after the start INTILACH was tightened for room and lost ground. Over the final stages WILD ELITE, UPPER CLASS LAD and FLYING RAVEN all raced tight.
