Two tasty tips - our greyhound guru Trap2Line has been examining Sunday's cards and has come up with the following. Here's the science bit ...
Greyhound Tips - Sunday July 20
T4 (Murrow Tambora) 12:09 Yarmouth @ SP
Today's downgrade from A8 to A9 is ideal and the selection will appreciate this easier assignment this afternoon. We also step back from six bends to four bends so will be staying on strongly in the second half of the race, but being against slower rivals I can see us turning handier than usual.
How I see the race being run;
T1 is again another downgraded runner today, although has been in poor form and going off at fancy prices the last month or so. Race-wise has a good draw on the inner today but slow breaks have proved costly in higher grade. I will wait until this one returns to form before ever considering backing him.
T2 is similar to T1, slow to stride and downgraded, may come up a bit short time-wise as struggles to break 29 seconds and will need to do that to win today.
T3 was poor on return and hasn't been on the track since May, although did win an A7 in a competitive time before layoff. Hasn't trialled on returned in that type of form so it's a pass from me.
T5 - overall form poor in the context of today's line up, looks likely to go off the outsider and no line of form to me is strong enough to compete today.
T6 is slow to stride and has traded at big prices the last few runs, plummeted down from A6 in April to A9 today due to form, and I can't see this one troubling the judge.
So to us in T4 - we can be too strong late on in this, she can come through in the second half of the race, we are consistent on the clock and also are more importantly in form - so I make us my bet of the day.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
T2 (Intrepidity) 19:42 Pelaw @ SP
Returns here after a couple of spins at Oxford over the 650m trip, and a 450m trial where she looked outpaced. In fact you could say this trip is also on the short side a tad and would prefer 650m-plus, but against this opposition I think we will be fine and can come through on the second lap and win this race going away off the last with our main danger coming from T5.
How I see this open race being run, and why I think we will win;
T1 is a Central Park runner that hasn't been here for a race or trial so may struggle with the different traps and may be slowly away. If I look at the overall standard back at her home track I don't think this lowly-graded runner is good enough tonight.
T3 - hoping won't be a thorn in our side as will want the rails as at Oxford normally runs out of T1 so we need to either ping, or miss the break to avoid this runner. Form of this one? Average 650m times at home track and about 1/2 second slower than us and that equates to about 6-7 lengths we have in hand over this one.
T4 is vacant.
T5 is our main danger if he runs his April times where would be right with us; however, on return here last week took the scenic route and was very wide throughout and ran flat. Was over a second slower than normal even with a clear run and that's just over 12 lengths different to the quickest time so will need to improve on that to challenge us.
T6 has very good early and is likely to put the pace to the race. Consistent on times and if getting loose on the lead could be dangerous, but the likelihood of that is slim, and I see this runner being picked up by us and T5 on the second lap.
So to us in T2 - we have a good record here, 2/3 in Opens and 1/2 in the trap, and we can come through late in this to win going away. Solid chance of a strong run tonight.
