Richmond greyhound tips, value picks & quaddie | Friday 16/8/24

The Richmond greyhounds return this Friday night with a massive 12-race program from 7:14pm local time. It will be a great night of racing, with a fifth-grade final and a fantastic 622m race among the highlights. Australian Racing Greyhound has done the form to find you three of the best.
Race 3: Royal Sleeper (2)
Royal Sleeper has only had four starts — two here and two at Gosford, for a win at both tracks. Last start he showed just how good he could be, powering away down the back straight at Richmond to set up a win in good time. He meets a similar field here, and box two may be perfect with a vacant box three and a slow beginner under him.

Royal Sleeper (2)
Form: 1471 | Career: 4: 2-0-0 | Trainer: Peter Lagogiane
Race 8: Zipping Optimise (1)
After three runs over the middle distance, culminating in a win last time out, Zipping Optimise looks to be at peak fitness for this big race. He draws perfectly in box one, where he has two wins and a second from three goes. With the nice draw, he should get all the favours and race away to a big win.

Zipping Optimise (1)
Form: 23231 | Career: 27: 8-5-10 | Trainer: Jason Magri
Race 4: Corless A Breeze (1)
Corless A Breeze has shown some good improvement in his last two runs. Although he has only the one win from 13 starts over this track and distance, Therese Simmons’ chaser has one win and three seconds from six attempts out of box one. If the top greyhound bookmakers continue to give us double-figure odds for this guys, he is definitely worth a few dollars.
