Dapto greyhound races preview & quaddie | Thursday, December 28
The world-famous Dapto dogs looks to send out 2023 with a bang this Thursday night. A quality 11-race program is ready to race, with the first race beginning at 6.54pm local time. There is a little bit of something for everyone in the last meeting of 2023 including maidens, restricted class and some nice lower-grade races. As always, Australian Racing Greyhound will be on hand to try and find you a winner or two, and all of us at ARG hope you have a safe and happy new year.
Race 9: Fortified (6)
Fortified is a not yet two-year-old half-sister to Mortified and Quantifiable. She came out on debut here last week and accelerated quickly to race away with her maiden win, and broke the 17-second barrier as well, which is impressive for a maiden. She should be improved from her race and she goes into the new 1-win class of race, which will suit her perfectly. She does draw terribly however, out in box six, in this preferential box draw race, but with two slow beginners under her, she should get the room early to use that acceleration to zoom away and bring up back-to-back wins.
Fortified (6)Race 7: Oro Rojo (4)
Oro Rojo is a top line sprinter who tried hard to lead and got absolutely swallowed up and spat out in her last run in a non-graded race at Wentworth Park. She has had a few weeks off to recover and freshen up for this race, and she drops back into a fourth-and-fifth grade race, if you don't mind. She has exceptional early pace and should find the front. She goes well here at Dapto, with three wins from four goes and is three wins from six out of the blue box. If she has taken no ill-effects from the fall at Wenty, she should be leading this race. From the front, Oro Rojo will prove tough to beat.

Form: F12264 | Career: 48: 15-9-5 | Trainer: Subawa Ngurah
Race 4: Thing One (2)
Thing One led in an Andrew Bell trifecta on Sunday night at Richmond and Andrew has three runners engaged in this race again? Déjà vu? Perhaps? Thing One has been beginning so well of late, leading here last week before getting run down by the open class kennelmate Good Odds Honey and then reversing the tables on her on Sunday at Richmond leading all the way. He has two wins, two seconds, and two thirds here from eight starts and three wins off box two. He has started at good odds in his last four starts, and hopefully greyhound bookmakers will let us on again at a good price in this race.
