Furthermore Mr Tzouvelis advised that On and Off can lack confidence if crowded early and that short course track layouts in SEQ, in particular corner starts, have been a disadvantage to the greyhound in previous starts.

Mr Tzouvelis stated that the On and Off trialled well in the week leading into today’s event and that he did support the greyhound.
