Romford is set to spice up the day with a series of open races, where we have picked two of three best bets. One standout is DROOPYS MAYBE (Trap 3), who is making a promising debut over the sharp six bends in the Foster A Greyhound Maiden Stayers (20.01). This young contender from Paul Young's kennel has already shown impressive form over four bends at this track and secured a notable victory at Towcester on Sunday. With her early pace, she is expected to secure a good position early on and dominate the latter stages of the race.
Another strong contender at Romford is ROMEO HOTSHOT (Trap 3), who is well-suited to the 575m test. Competing in the first heat of the Romford Friday Night 500 Stayers (20.54), this experienced greyhound from Craig Morris's stable has a favourable draw in Trap 3. If he gets a good start, he could outpace the inside competitors by the third turn. Having faced challenging races at Towcester recently, a return to Romford might be just what he needs to reclaim his winning form.
Meanwhile, on the early televised card at Hove, RISING PEBBLES (Trap 3) is poised for a change in fortune in the A5 contest (11.18). Although she lacks early speed, the daughter of Pestana can leverage her late acceleration to make a significant impact. If she navigates the early stages without incident, her finishing speed could secure her a long-awaited victory.
Best Bets
- 11:18 HOVE: RISING PEBBLES (Trap 3)
- 20:01 ROMFORD: DROOPYS MAYBE (Trap 3)
- 20:54 ROMFORD: ROMEO HOTSHOT (Trap 3)
Have fun and good luck!
