When questioned over the performance of HANNAH’S BELL trainer Mr. S Gould explained that he had only obtained the greyhound recently and had four starts in his care.  He stated that when HANNAH’S BELL came into his kennel it was carrying a number of injuries which he had been able to treat and in his view the greyhound is now racing injury free.  He further stated the he was not surprised by the way the greyhound had won tonight after being beaten into 2nd place at Albion Park on 30 November 2016 where it received considerable amount of interference throughout that race.  He said that he had given HANNAH’S BELL extra box work leading up to tonight’s event which in his view contributed to its beginning manners.  Stewards noted Mr. Gould’s explanation.
