Tuesday Greyhound Tips: Michael’s hoping for a hat-trick at Monmore

1 pt 15:09 Monmore – Vixons Ariel (T1) @ SP

A trio of trap one selections from Monmore this afternoon on a competitive all-graded card.

At 15:09 look out for VIXONS ARIEL who lines up from T1 in the A10 graded race over the standard four-bend 480m distance. The Gary Griffiths-trained railer looks well-drawn to lead round and, once on the bunny, she's capable of clocking around the 29.50 mark, a repeat of that would see her bolt up.

In a race lacking early pace, the key to victory will be taking advantage of this excellent draw, trap well and its race on. Ropewalk Star (T2) can chase the selection home and fill the forecast spot.

Dunquin Brendan (T5) was off the track from February until late June, two recent runs would have blown away the cobwebs, and he's worth noting in the market on his third run in as many weeks.

1 pt 16:04 Monmore – Paradise Sky (T1) @ SP

The D1-graded sprint at 16:04 over the two-bend 264m trip at Monmore can go to PARADISE SKY, who lines up from T1 for trainer Brian Thompson.

Better known as an open race performer, Paradise Sky drops back into graded action this evening for the first time since mid-April. The September 2022 daughter of Dromana Bucko has a ten from thirty-one record at Monmore, six from 15 in T1 and one from three record in the grade.

Everything points towards a huge run this afternoon. A vacant box in T2 strengthens claims and Paradise Sky looks a solid play to take this D1 graded sprint. Carmac Pete (T6) has form over four and six bends. The wide seed will be staying on well and could be the value play for those looking at forecast bets. Wanfourtoeknee (T5) is another who enters calculations.

1 pt 17:19 Monmore – Lady Luck (T1) @ SP

The third and final selection from Monmore this afternoon is well-drawn railer LADY LUCK who runs from T1 in the A9 graded race at 17:19.

The early-paced November 2023 daughter of Ice On Fire caught the eye last time out running a cracker when narrowly beaten in a photo finish over course and distance clocking 29.43. A repeat of that time would make Lady Luck very hard to beat.

Winterfield Boom (T2) is slow away, so Lady Luck has an excellent opportunity to hold the rails and hit the back straight on the bunny, do that and then it's catch me if you can.

Darver Spark (T3), Whyaye Dubai (T4) and Aero Bassett (T6) can all show pace into the corner, so it's imperative that Lady Luck brings her trapping boots and kicks for home off the second bend. Winterfield Boom (T2) will be staying on well and could be worth including in forecast bets at a price.
