Mr Tzouvelis said that On and Off only begins well intermittently and is of the opinion that today’s performance was largely due to the quick beginning and clear running the greyhound was afforded. 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.
