Our expert presents a trio of selections along with insightful analysis for Friday's evening card at Romford.
Another thrilling evening of greyhound racing awaits viewers on the Premier Greyhound Racing Channel, with early Hove races also broadcast on the main Sky Sports Racing channel. Romford takes the spotlight with a compelling fixture, drawing our focus for today's selections.
In the A3 race (18:56) on the card, YOUNG PESTANA (Trap 6) stands out as one of the best-drawn contenders. Paul Young's greyhound, downgraded after a solid A2 performance last time, possesses impressive speed, particularly evident in his previous run at this level where he led from start to finish. With a favourable draw and a middle-runner on his inside, Young Pestana has an excellent opportunity for a wire-to-wire victory.
Next up, in the A5 contest (19:14), FABULOUS MAGIQUE (Trap 3) catches the eye as a fast starter. Dave Mullins's bitch, now reaching her peak after a break, displayed her speed in the last outing. With slower starters on her inner, Fabulous Magique has the potential to break clear, especially with potential crowding behind her, providing another swift start.
While the open races pose challenges, ROMEO CYPHER (Trap 4) is worth considering in the Romford Friday Night 500 Standard Final (21:21). The Droopys Sydney offspring exhibited resilience in the heats last week, overcoming bumps to secure a front-running victory. Dave Mullins's dog is expected to match pace with Whitewood Lenny to the first bend before seizing control. Despite competition from Aratus, Romeo Cypher's early pace should secure him a significant advantage.
