Form expert Dale Code has picked out a selection of runs from around Victoria that have caught the eye over the past fortnight.
#1 KELSEY BALE (Box 4)
Breeding: Jun ’20 Feral Franky x Ethla Allen
Trainer: Daniel Gibbons, Avalon
Record: 54 starts 17-14-7
Dale says: Kelsey Bale almost produced a carbon copy of her win in the Group 3 Silver Bullet, which I consider the best win you could ever wish to see, in the Sportsbet Australian Cup Consolation.
Considering the calibre of greyhounds she was giving a healthy start to in Amron Boy and Electrified, the winning time of 29.56 seconds was four lengths quicker than Australian Cup champion Fernando Mick (29.85).
This was a performance that only Kelsey Bale can do.

#2 WHEEL AND GO (Box 3)
Breeding: Oct ’20 Benali x Erelda Bale
Trainer: Tim Britton, Lara
Record: 37 starts 11-7-10
Dale says: Wheel And Go – the well-supported favourite – found early bother and was squeezed out to last and all hope of winning appeared lost.
Combined with a fierce will to win and sustained speed, the son of Benali powered home to record this breathtaking last-to-first win.

#3 XYLAN BALE (Box 7)
Breeding: Sep ’20 Jiminy Reno x Samus Allen
Trainer: Deborah Coleman, Lara
Record: 50 starts 9-8-13
Dale says: After a slow beginning and finding some early bother, Xylan Bale was spotting some smart types including favourite Master The Art a good eight lengths with a lap to run.
Displaying elite mid-race speed, this rising stayer put himself into a stalking position as they approached the final bend and proved too powerful in the run to the line to record this eye-catching victory.
