McDonald has Dana Whare (box five) looking a decent chance in the 4/5^th grade Temora to Goulburn final (race eight, 350m), the feature race on February 28. 

Dana Whare has been a solid performer, scoring four wins and eight minor placings in 39 starts, but she is in decent form. 

The well-bred daughter of champion Black Magic Opal and Dana Moo qualified with a 19.71 win in last week’s heats at Temora and placed recently at Cowra and Temora.

Dan Whare has won once and placed once wearing the yellow rug and is one of the more experienced performers in this race. 

She has run some decent races at country tracks for McDonald, who scored one of the most memorable victories, in NSW greyhound racing, with Dana Beatrice in the 2009 Golden Easter Egg. 

Improving Ninetymile Bart has a strong recent record and looks the best bet in the day’s other feature race, the 5th grade Madbookie 1-3 Wins Final (race seven, 350m). 

He was a well-backed 20.25 winner in last week’s heats and also clocked 20.28 placing at Goulburn in November.

Canyonleigh couple Matthew and Ruth Matic can score a double at the meeting with Frisco Bay (race five) and Body And Soul in race 10. 

Frisco Bay (box four) has been a very consistent performer and zipped home last week over the 350m at Goulburn in 20.14.

Body And Soul (box one) faces some very tough company, but improved last start, placing over the 472m at Bulli. 

He should benefit from box one and be fresh after four weeks off. 

Jenmar Bandit (box three) broke through for a maiden win at Goulburn last week and can repeat that feat in race 11 at 440m.

The Jenny Brown-trained greyhound returned from five months out with a solid 25,.43 win over this trip and looks the best in this field. 

The 11-event program starts at 12.04pm
