The Stir Up | Pink Diamond Finals Edition

GRV’s Peter Quilty, Gerard Guthrie and Trent Langskaill provide their thoughts on some of the star greyhounds racing in Victoria.

 

Keep an eye on these, they are worth saving in your WatchDog Blackbook!

 

Quilts  Gents, what a card of chasing we have coming up at Warragul tomorrow night for the third edition of the Sportsbet Pink Diamond finals – Australia’s richest regional series.

Gerard  How great is the field for the Champion Distance Final? There are Group 1 winners (Moraine Suzie and Untapped), a Group 3 winner (Hector Fawley) and promising stayers (Your Colour Room, Hummock and Osprey Athena).

Trent  Hector Fawley was terrific in his heat win at Shepparton, but James Van de Maat on the Green Light On Vodcast expressed concern about him running out the 680-metre trip.  WATCH

Quilts  The Champion Sprinter Final lives up to its name with track record holders Rejuvenate and Unleash Collinda creating so much excitement after their heat wins at Geelong and Shepparton respectively.

Gerard  Those chasers will be facing tough opposition including Group 1 runner-up Paddy Wants Pats, Group finalists Fire Hose and Shima Shadow, and the up-and-coming Transponder.

Trent  The Green Light On panellists acknowledged there are many chances. Mitch Ebeyer and Nathan Rooney went with Rejuvenate, while James likes Transponder from Box 8.

Quilts  Is Gary Peach going to train successive Champion Short Course winners? Silver Brute is aiming to go back-to-back in the event, while Action Girl flew at Geelong on Friday night.

Trent  Mitch and Nathan were both favouring Action Girl to find the early lead and prevail in their discussion on the Green Light On Vodcast, but Mitch also gave Matt’s Hope a chance.  WATCH

Gerard  The amazing part of the evening is that arguably the best greyhound at the meeting has not been mentioned yet, which is Group 1 Sapphire Crown winner Baby Jaycee in the Pink Diamond Rookie Sprinter Final.

Trent  According to the Green Light On panellists, Your Colour Room and Action Girl will win their respective Champion finals.
