One of the most in form dogs running at the track is Deeteedee Slider in the 3:19. In his last six races Kim Billingham’s charge has finished second three times and won the other three races.
Today he steps up to six bends for the first time and given hisfast finishing running style over the standard 480 metre trip he could be anexciting prospect at the more testing trip.
Crayford

Dean Childs has the best winning percentage withhis dogs this year recording 76 wins at a strike rate of over 20%.
Childs sends out Droopys Plus today in the 2:12 race from Trap four. Droopys Plus has made an outstanding start to his career – after an eye-catching debut he has produced a hat trick of wins winning by 6 1/2, 3 3/4 and 2 lengths respectively.
He goes up to A2 grade this afternoon, but the puppywill be looking to lead all the way again.
