An ideal box draw has trainer Luke Adams confident his greyhound Rambo Banner can score another win at Maitland this afternoon.
Rambo Banner jumps from box two in the 4th grade PRD Nationwide Stakes (race seven, 450m) aiming to continue his solid recent form.
Rambo Banner made it three victories in his last four starts with a super 22.43 victory from the same box over the 400m at Bulli last Saturday night.
He has won four of his nine previous visits to Maitland and looks ideally suited to the big Hunter Valley track.
“These high-speed tracks (like Maitland) really suit him with the usual brilliant speed he shows,” Adams, who is located in the Sydney suburb of Tregear, said.
“He’s now won four out of five from this box so the draw obviously suits him. The 450 metres is about as far as he can go so he can handle the distance.
“He’s a brilliant greyhound to train and he’s been racing superbly recently.”
In other Maitland Thursday action today, unbeaten greyhound Truly Dominant can continue his good start to his racing career with another victory in the 5th grade Lochinvar Pet Motel Stakes (race six, 400m).
