Greyhound Tips For Friday 17th May 2013
Last night was a great night of racing. The Mighty Miata just got there, but she looked out on her feet. She's no doubt going to benefit from last nights run, but can she improve enough to take out the Sandown Cup – only time will tell.
The Kiwi raider Clone You Own was superb and collected the $100,000 winners cheque in the Harrison Dawson; and the freakish Xylia Allen was simply breathtaking running down dual track record holder Punch One Out. I know both dogs are extremely fast but to run down Punch One Out was simply amazing. It had to be seen to be believed – run of the year so far.
We managed only the one winner last night but with a little luck things could of went the other way. Bens House was a certainty beat. He was knocked down on all fours early, and lost all hope but chased on and was only beaten 5 lengths on the line – a remarkable effort. He will certainly win again next start.
Wentworth Park Greyhounds, Race 5 Box 2, One Inch Punch, 8.40pm
The former Jason McKay trained One Inch Punch is my selection here tonight. I'm not overly confident but he should be at each way odds. He has a motor and can go when switched on. In his last couple he's looked very disinterested, but those runs where at Richmond and the Gardens. His Wentworth Park record is great with 7 starts for 2 wins and 3 seconds and a PB of 29.97. I think the key to this fellow may be a clear run and a look at the bunny. From box 2 he's going to get a great sit early on behind the box 1 runner. He's strong and is bigger enough to handle himself if the going gets tough around the first turn. This is no easy race and you can make a case for every runner but the change of Kennel and new scenery may do the trick here tonight. Each Way only.
Geelong Greyhounds, Race 9 Box 3 Stylish Lizbeth, 9.47pm
There's a lot to like about this girl. She hails from a pretty handy litter, and is by the speed sire Elite State. If she had that little bit more early toe we would see her competing with the best in the city but she lacks a little early pace and needs room to move. Box 3 doesn't suit but she has a fair class advantage on most of these. All she needs is clear room early and she should trounce them. She's going to start favourite but, I suggest $2.50, anything less isn't worth the bet.
Mandurah Greyhounds, Race 7 Box 8 Din's Chappi 8.40pm WA time
We are going with this bloke here in a tough race. Any other box bar the 8 is nearly declare him but the box makes it very tough. He's racing in fine form and out in a huge run over this journey last time out. I remember saying next start this bloke just wins. Well box 8 makes it very hard but he's racing well and is a huge chance.
Best of luck.
