For today’s “Dog Of The Day,” we’re highlighting a greyhound whose determination and finishing speed make her a thrilling prospect in any race. Our selection is the resilient Lundhill Ellie, who demonstrated a perfect never-say-die attitude to clinch victory last time out.
Last Time Out: A Gutsy Victory
Lundhill Ellie showcased exactly what she’s all about in her most recent start (Race 5 at Kinsley over 462m). Facing A4 competition, she was involved in a thrilling three-dog battle throughout. While Grovenor Ruby set the early fractions, Lundhill Ellie (drawn in trap 1) stayed in the fight. The race comment, “led near line,” tells the story of a gutsy bitch who dug deep in the final strides to win by a neck in a time of 27.88 seconds on a fast (+50) going. Winning a tight finish like that builds immense confidence.
Form Analysis: A Model of Consistency at Kinsley
A look through Lundhill Ellie’s form reveals a runner who is incredibly reliable, especially over this course and distance:
Trap 1 Expert: She has an excellent record from the inside trap, a box she occupies again today. Her running style from this draw allows her to secure a good early position without getting crowded.
Strong Finisher: Her form comments are filled with phrases like “EvCh” (Every Chance), “RnOn” (Ran On), and of course, “LdNrLn” (Led Near Line). This proves she possesses a strong finishing kick, which is a huge asset in competitive races.
Peaking at the Right Time: After a few runs where she was knocking on the door, last week’s victory marks a return to the winner’s enclosure. She is clearly in top form and knows how to get her head in front when it matters.
With her ideal trap draw, proven stamina, and a confidence-boosting win under her belt, Lundhill Ellie is perfectly poised to deliver another big performance. She doesn’t need to lead early; she just needs to be in touch, and her powerful finish will do the rest.
