Thursday Greyhound Tips: Trap2Line takes us to the land of Hove and glory

Our resident greyhounds tipster Trap2Line is back for your daily dose of the dogs. Hove is on the agenda for tonight, with an in-form runner and a dog who has been turning heads in the trials.

Read on for Trap2Line's Daily Greyhound Tips.

20:07 Hove - T5 (Broadway Murty) @ SP

Final of the Sprint Trophy this evening and we have an excellent opportunity to continue our good recent form with a win. I own a leg in T3 in this and to be fair we are pleased we got to the final. This runner in T5 is a very quick sprinter and can put this race to bed on the run-up.

T1 won the Silver Salver at Central Park recently but not that impressive in the first round of this competition. Yes, she won her heat, but that was nearly five lengths slower than us in T5. I am also on the fence if she breaks as well from T1 as she does from further off the fence. I can see her coming together with T2 early on in this. 

T2  he has potential, if he learns to trap, to be the best sprinter in the country. However, he has a tendency to miss the break and then pace up. That brings it's own set of problems as that normally causes crowding and bumping at first bend. If this runner pinged tonight it could be race over. But on all the evidence I see an even break or a miss break and that could spell trouble.

T3 is my own runner. He just can't trap. He does have really good early pace but his Achilles heel is trapping. The dog has only broke well twice in his racing career and there are a couple in here that will be too quick for him. I am here to take a chance but I feel he will go off quite a big price for this decider.

T4 really wants a rails draw and could prove troublesome for the inside runners as this canine will want to come across to the fence, so will crowd run up doing so. That should give us more space on his out-wide to ice round.

T6 is another that will go off at a big price. Ran above expectations last week and deserves his place in the final. Needs to find three or four lengths to beat us. But does have a good draw to work from.

So back to us in T5. This is an ideal launchpad as we stay straight on the run up. We can quickly pace up and lead by bend number one, miss the crowding and trouble on our inside and stretch away to win well. Very confident selection.

18:59 Hove - T6 (Deadly Disco) @ SP

We return to our home track after being knocked out in the semi final stage of the Summer Stayers Classic at Monmore, when a slow to go break cost us. To me this evening we are taking a steep downgrade and will look to get back on the winning track from a favourable draw and race make up.

T1 also knocked out of the recent Monmore competition. Overall form here is okay but nothing spectacular. However, if this runner repeated her July 19 run she would take all the beating. She stopped the clock at 41.53 which over this 695m trip is flying. Has a good draw tonight on the rails and also inside a very slow starter. I rate this runner as the danger to us.

T2 stays a lot further than this and will only just be getting going when the race has finished, as she has form over the marathon trip. A few runners in here that will be too quick for her but if the race is messy and crowded then none will be finishing faster. This runner could come into the race late if it gets held up.

T3 lost her rails pitch and will edge across running to bend number one. Not disgraced in races but around four-to-five lengths slower than this field in a clean run race. Will be a big price tonight.

T4 is a Central Park raider, has form over both four and six bends. Prior to Crayford closing she was competing in decent eight bend races against some of the best stayers in the country. The back form is there for all to see. Would've preferred a draw closer to the rails and that can lead to this one being held up round the first few bends. I think that ends any chance as we will gain first run on the outside.

T5 pops up now and again at very big prices, a 33/1 winner back on June 19. More known as a grader than a true open race runner and will struggle in this race tonight.

So to us in T6, we have excellent trial form here with 29.28 for 500m meaning we could be six or seven lengths up on this field on the first lap alone. I see us pulling further and further clear from than point and we have the potential to win this race by over eight lengths. I wouldn't be surprised if we did that. Max bet for me.
