Check out our expert’s top greyhound picks for May 3, 2024:
Following a successful 7/4 win with Threeasabird on Monday, Anthony Ennis has lined up four top bets for Friday's greyhound action.
This Friday promises plenty of excitement, kicking off with Central Park's early meet and Newcastle's afternoon races, both airing live on the main Sky Sports Racing channel. For all other thrilling races, including Romford's typically strong Friday night card, tune in to greyhounds.attheraces.com or press the red button.
Starting off the picks is IGNITION at Central Park's 12:39 race. Dropping in grade, Dan Brandon's talented contender boasts impressive early and middle pace, likely to seize the lead by the third bend and prove tough to catch.
Moving on to Newcastle's afternoon card, GOLDEN CITY catches Ennis's eye in the A3 race at 4:54. Despite not securing a win since his move from Ireland, this race seems ripe for his breakthrough, facing rivals accustomed to lower A4 levels.
In Romford's open race lineup, LAST DANCE AMIGO stands out in the maiden final at 9:02. Last week's stellar performance in the heats, coupled with a favourable middle draw, positions him well for victory, especially with his main rival drawn on his inside.
Rounding up the picks is CAIRO KING in Romford's 400m standard open at 9:36. Coming off a gutsy win last week, this Nathan Hunt-trained contender displays promising early pace, offering potential value against Headford Genius if he can replicate his trap performance.
Best Bets:
12:39 Central Park - IGNITION (Trap 3)
16:54 Newcastle - GOLDEN CITY (Trap 4)
21:02 Romford - LAST DANCE AMIGO (Trap 3)
21:36 Romford - CAIRO KING (Trap 3)
