Saturday Greyhound Tips: Ralf won’t wreck it at Towcester

Join our resident Greyhound guru Michael Smyth (@bettingjungle) for a trip to Towcester for his Saturday Greyhound Tips. He's picked out what he considers to be the three best bets of the day and explained his reasons why.

Check out his selections below.

1 pt 18:58 Towcester – Annadown Chip (T1) @ 6/4

At 18:58 in the PCS Legal Puppy Trophy final over the four-bend 500-metre trip, look out for well-drawn railer ANNADOWN CHIP from T1.

The Maxine Locke-trained Central Park raider bolted up in the heats of this competition, recording a quick-away-made-all success in 28.78 following a smart 3.81 sectional. In a competitive final, the key will be the break and run into the first bend.

It's imperative that Annadown Chip traps level and holds his pitch into the first bend. Littermate and kennelmate to the selection, Annadown Warrior rates as the main danger from T6.

The September 2024 son of Grangeview Ten clocked 28.84 last time out when making it two from two at Towcester and would be a danger to all with a ping break this evening.

1 pt 19:58 Towcester – Blackstone Opera (T1) @ 5/6

The Elite Electrical Trophy final at 19:58 can go to well-drawn Hove raider BLACKSTONE OPERA from T1. The Seamus Cahill-trained May 2024 daughter of Dromana Bucko is in flying form with a six-length win at her home track and a two-length victory at Towcester in the last couple of weeks.

Tonight, it's all eyes on the break. If Blackstone Opera traps well and leads round, it should be all over bar the shouting. Slick Skylark (T4) is a consistent Towcester performer and rates as the main danger.

The Patrick Janssens-trained middle seed could also be worth including in forecast bets. Solo wide seed Alright Twinkle (T6) is another who could go well at a price and looks a solid forecast mixer.

1 pt 21:18 Towcester – Ballymac Ralf (T2) @ 9/2

Five Irish runners line up in the Star Sports & Orchestrate English Derby final at 21:18 with all the runners in with live claims. Liam Dowling goes into the Category One final with a strong hand with three runners hailing from his Ballymac Kennels.

This looks like a leader wins type of race, with BALLYMAC RALF the selection from T2. The key is clearing kennelmate Ballymac Duffle (T1) at lid rise, do that and its race on for the May 2024 son of Ballymac Cashout.

Lennies Eddie in T3 from the Paul Hennessy kennels clocked 28.34 chasing home Ballymac Deniro (T5) in the quarter-finals, so clearly has the pace to get competitive tonight.

Deniro (T5) goes into the race in flying form following impressive wins in the quarter and semi-finals. The middle seed is likely to prove popular in the market. Hackney Corner (T4) was sent off at 6s in the semi-finals but duly obliged and booked his place in the final for trainer Pat Buckey.

Don’t rule out another ping break from the Irish raider. As ever, we wish all owners, connections and trainers all the best in the final. It promises to be a cracker.
