"In the supporting 695m competition Hometown Honey, or Swift Tigress as was, rates the night’s best bet (20:50) with Mark Wallis’ runner having taken well to the step up in trip."
Racing Post Greyhound TV returns with the Brighton Belle semi-finals from Hove live on Thursday plus the usual all Open race card at Romford on Friday. Darrell Williams marks your card.
Seamus Cahill's Droopys Danneel clocked the fastest time in last week's heats and is worth staying with in what appears the weaker of the three semi-finals (20:02). The well bred youngster - she doesn't turn two until October - overcame high class Scramble last week and can continue her rapid progress at the expense of strong running Ayamzabeauty, who should also qualify.
A big run from the selection would obviously pay a huge compliment to Dean Childs runner in the second semi-final (20:18) and with unexposed Ballymac Sicily drawn out in trap four, Scramble rates the call. Her early speed has proved a major asset here in the past with victories in three of her seven starts over the 515m. Seven Of Spades can follow her home.
The third semi-final is harder to call with Fortunata again likely to prove popular, but in a race jammed with early pace performers it might be worth siding with Starmount Swift, back in trap one, whose defeat of Matt Dartnall's bitch last week hardly came unexpectedly judged on her starting price.
In the supporting 695m competition Hometown Honey, or Swift Tigress as was, rates the night's best bet (20:50) with Mark Wallis' runner having taken well to the step up in trip. Her run behind high class Ballymac Pet last week makes her the one to beat. Finding the winner of the other heat (21:06) is tricky and a lay of Droopys Minnie, out of the same race, might be the logical play. She ran well last week but does struggle to get her head in front.
I'm also very keen on Forest Dot (21:24) who has become almost 'must-bet' material when drawn in trap one here over 475m and can make it four from five over the CD for Heather Dimmock.
Sorting out the opening sprint winner at Romford on a Friday night can often be fraught with danger with any number of shock results during the summer, but Diesel Sammy has been doing his bit to change that of late and can make it four on the spin over the 225m in the 19:31 opener. A draw inside five seeded rivals can only be seen as a bonus.
Oscars Goodbye has hit form with a vengeance of late and Jim Reynolds youngster is again the one to be within the Puppy race at 21:06, where infrequent winner Get On Buster can help make the market.
Mountjoy Orion has started to win races on a regular basis again and looks the one to be on in the feature Stayers final (21:24). Comfortably the fastest of Monday's heat winners, Mark Wallis' charge can make it four from his last seven over the 575m trip.
Smiler Jack is taken to get his revenge over Express Trend, who got him on the line last week in the finale at 22:40, with the middle draw taken to aid Chris Mosdall's runner in the early speed department.
