Little Adele, at being best of the best adele has her shot


The Warren Twaddle trained chaser has taken out the Battle of the Sexes and Murray Oakley Discount Speedfest finals in her past two outings at Darwin Greyhound headquarters.
But Little Adele can categorically lay claim to being the best of the best, as long as she wins the Winnellie Hotel Best 8 Dash (383m). The $800 event has drawn a smart capacity field that cumulatively has won 79 races during their careers.
And in a clear indication that this field is in fine form, only Lonesome Black hasn't greeted the judge first during the past five runs.
Little Adele, who has shown class from her first appearance, possesses the best winning strike rate (12 wins from 33 outings), but is shaded in terms of career wins by veterans Iron Ruby (15) and Arnhem Virus (14).
Going on times, Little Adele also has the edge with a personal best of 22.27 seconds, slightly quicker (0.03) than the nearest rival Gunna Do It.
Last start winners Vader and Double Digits appear well placed to make it back-to-back in their respective races.
Vader takes on a slick field in the Spray Lawn Dash (312m), but with luck from box eight can figure strongly, particularlly if he replicates last week's 18.31 second run.
Double Digits also goes up in grade, but an inside draw helps his chances in the Water Dynamics Dash (312m).
Like Vader, Double Digits ran good time in winning last Friday night (18.35) and on that run looks a bold opportunity in a field containing smart types such as Money Frog and Day Seas Gilly.
Other solid bets on tonight's program appear Iron Atalanta (Race 4, No. 2) and Lonesome Mary (Race 5, No. 3).
Racing from 7.39pm.
