Our in-form greyhound expert is back with a trio of best bets for Hove on Thursday.
18.26 Hove - Voltage Flyer (Trap 6)
Voltage Flyer, trained by the soon-to-retire and recent GWA Lifetime Achievement Award winner Norah McEllistrim, is our pick in this A1 race. Dropped to A2 last time, Voltage Flyer demonstrated her superiority with a ten-length victory, recording a personal best time. Now back in the top echelon, she’s favored to make all. Notably, she excels from the outside box with a 7-18 record compared to 2-19 from Trap 5.
19.33 Hove - March On Freddie (Trap 3)
David Mullins’ September youngster, March On Freddie, delivered a decisive victory for us last week, nearly breaking the track record. Competing in the Summertime Puppies race, he is currently in top form and a strong contender. Where Are You (Trap 2) has impressively advanced from A10 to A2 and is making her Open race debut, potentially challenging the selection early. Droopys Dialogue (Trap 4) also poses a threat with a clearer run this week.
19.49 Hove - Rioja Woody (Trap 6)
Rioja Woody, trained by Richard Rees, is expected to win the second division of the Summertime Standard. With three wins in his last four outings at his home track, he is in excellent form. This race is challenging, with King Sydney (Trap 4), a winner on Judgement Night, being a formidable rival. However, Woody’s current form and rapid 29.17 (calculated) time from winter make him a strong contender.
Best Bets
18.26 Hove: Voltage Flyer (Trap 6)
19.33 Hove: March On Freddie (Trap 3)
19.49 Hove: Rioja Woody (Trap 6)
Good luck, and let's hope for a successful night at Hove!
