Dapto Thursday greyhound tips & quaddie | October 26, 2023
Thursday night is Dapto Dogs night, and the south-coast wonder has another sensational 12 races for us this week. The first race is set to begin at 6:54pm and there is a great mix of races on the card, including heats of a restricted wins series. As always, Australian Racing Greyhound will try to find you a winner or two.
Race 12: Sure Is Minty (5)
At her first race start, Sure Is Minty loved having box one and used it to perfection to win her maiden in 17.2 seconds, which was faster than several of the fifth-grade races on the same night. She now moves into a restricted-grade race, which should suit. She draws poorly but, with the preferential box draw, may get room early if the four heads to the fence as expected. She should gain fitness and track knowledge from last week and could feasibly break 17 seconds with a touch of luck early.
Best Bet
Race 12 – 
Sure Is Minty (5)
Form: 1 | Career: 1: 1-0-0 | Trainer: Heath Eggleton
Race 6: Stockton Slap (1)
This bloke looked the winner twice last week when he went for inside runs – once early and once turning for home – but fell short in the end. He now goes into the red box, which should suit him tremendously. He has only had it once, running third at Wentworth Park. He will still need to come out and get under Mason Here, the dog that beat him last week. Stockton Slap is the only dog in the field to have broken the 30-second mark, and if he can hold the blue dog off the fence early, he will win this easily.

Race 11: Dumpling (4)
Dumpling comes back to Dapto after a failed Richmond campaign. She won here in good style four runs back in 17.19, which would go close in this. She has won one out of one from box four and will appreciate the drop back into restricted wins class. Dumpling showed a glimpse of her early pace before getting checked last start, and if she can get away cleanly, with a vacant box outside her, she could well steal this race at nice odds.
