Dapto free greyhound tips & quaddie picks | Thursday, April 18
Dapto will have 12 races on its jam-packed program this Thursday night, with the first beginning at 6:57pm. There will be something for everybody, including some nice sprints, a few restricted races, and a quality non-graded sprint. Here are Australian Racing Greyhound's free Dapto betting tips for the April 18 meeting.
Best Bet: Appin Way (7)
Appin Way missed the start last week, and that's just something you can't do over the 297m at Dapto. He ran 16.87 from this exact box two starts ago and will find this easier than last week's assignment. If he steps cleanly and can cross the inside division early, he will likely break the 17-second mark again, and that time is good enough to win this.

Form: 63516 | Career: 17: 3-3-2 | Trainer: Vincent Spiteri
Race 3: Rosebery Hustler (1)
Fresh off a two-month break, Rosebery Hustler meets what is really a third-and-fourth-grade race. He has won 18 of 28 races over this track and distance, while his career record stands at 27 wins and 17 more placings from 57 runs. He is five from six out of box four, and the vacant box underneath him should give Rosebery Hustler plenty of room to wind up early and race away for another win.

Race 5: Shima Bridie (8)
Shima Bridie led easily and improved her personal best here last week from box seven. She loves to be drawn off the track a fraction, so box eight will suit. She has been a model of consistency since coming from Victoria and is only getting stronger with racing and experience. If the online bookmakers give us a similar price to last week, she will be tremendous value.
