Burman stated that he expected a forward showing from the greyhound in this event and was confident in its chances.  He could provide no tangible explanation as to why the greyhound failed to run the distance strongly aside from the fact that it hadn’t run over 600m for some time.  Mr. Burman eluded to the fact that the greyhound did receive some tightening in the turn into the home straight.  Following this performance Mr. Burman was unsure as to where he would enter this greyhound in the coming weeks, though undertook to inform Stewards should anything come to light with SMART MARLOW in the coming days.
