18:08 Swindon: Vanessa’s Melody (Trap 4)
The electrifying world of greyhound racing never fails to deliver nail-biting finishes and dramatic comebacks. One to watch is Vanessa’s Melody (Trap 4), a determined competitor looking to make up for a heartbreaking near-miss in her last race. Despite being narrowly beaten at the line, she’s back in the spotlight for the A4 opener at Swindon (18:08). Trainer Paul Maynard is confident in her speed and her ability to dominate early, especially from a favourable wider draw.
20:41 Swindon: No Jay No (Trap 2)
Later on the same Swindon card (20:41), keep an eye on No Jay No (Trap 2), a rising star who impressed on debut by overcoming a sluggish start to secure a memorable win. Trainer Dalton Smith remarked that the July pup showed hints of inexperience but is rapidly improving, as evidenced by a faster time in a subsequent trial. This A7 event poses a tougher test, but with his momentum and the inconsistency of his opponents, he’s well-placed to take on the challenge and continue his winning streak.
Ante-Post Recommendation: Proper Heiress for the Olympic Final (7-4 Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Bet)
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Proper Heiress, who delivered a stunning performance at Hove during the Olympic semi-finals, clocking the fastest time of the evening. If he manages to edge out early competition, particularly from Aayamza Sydney, trainer Mark Wallis is confident that Proper Heiress will dominate in Saturday’s Olympic Final. As the current favourite, now might be the perfect time to back him before the odds shift.
