Thursday Greyhounds Tips: A couple from Central Park

Our daily Greyhounds tipster, Trap2Line, returns with his daily selections, this time turning his full attention to the Central Park card.

Read below to check out his Thursday Greyhounds Tips.

15:19 Central Park - Fastlane George (T5) @ SP

This is one dog who more than deserves to break their maiden tag, and this afternoon could be the time. He uncharacteristically missed the latest break, but is more noted for his early pace and can show that today in this five-runner contest.

How I see this top grade D1 being run:

T1 is a consistent 16.70 bitch so will always give her running; if this were a clean-run contest, however, will be three to four lengths off these pace-wise and time-wise.

T2 vacant.

T3 is more a D2 dog than a top-grade sprinter; overall profile looks as though he is out of his depth. Won a D2 well two runs back but visually outpaced to the corner when stepped up to this level last time out, and I can see the same again today, so pass.

T4 similar comments really to T3, dropped back into D2 company and duly obliged last week. Previously seemed to struggle in this D1 company, and I see the same story today with being zero from six in the grade.

T6 is our main danger after beating us last week, but that was a freak break for this runner, and I'm hoping normal service will be resumed in the early pace department for us, and we can corner this danger off at the first bend. If we don't break, then this one can go on to win, but all things point to us

So finally, to us in T5, a perfect draw to lead this race in the run-up, I expect us to be a couple of lengths clear by the bend, avoid the trouble, and land a well-deserved victory. Confident selection.

17:31 Central Park - Insane Investa (T6) @ SP

Downgraded from A2 to A3 this afternoon, but overall form is good and more importantly showing consistent times in the process, has a very good draw to work from, and the race makeup will suit our running style.

Here is how I see this A3 race being run:

T1 steps back from six bends to four, maybe tapped for a little toe early on in this race today, but none will be finishing stronger than this runner, I can't see her getting a clear run at the third and fourth bend, if securing a run though could be dangerous to us late on.

T2 similar split times to T1, so they are going to arrive at the bend together. Overall profile says this runner will struggle and may need a downgrade to A4 to show best form, not for me.

T3 won well in the lower grade last week but seems to hit a brick wall when upped to A3 level, same again this afternoon, and there are others faster (including our selection).

T4 looks likely leader in this race based on split times alone, will give us something to chase, but seems not to stay this far and late on weakens, and I can see this happening again today.

T5 maybe sets the pace alongside T4, and that will mean will get an excellent running lane into the bend and down the far side, which will be crucial. Seems to find this grade a tad too hot, did pop up a couple of runs ago in a crowded race, but not for me today

So to us on the outside in T6, we can track the early pace on our inside, fly down the back, round the leaders off the last, and win this going away; a max bet for me.
