Greyhound racing fans are in for an exciting day, with some standout contenders ready to make their mark. Here’s a rundown of the best bets at Newcastle and Swindon.
19:44 Newcastle: UNTOLD EURO (Trap 3)
UNTOLD EURO (Trap 3) has the potential to reverse last week’s narrow loss to Caraxes (Trap 4) over the same course and distance. In that race, Tom Heilbron’s charge, drawn in trap one, veered slightly right at the first bend, losing valuable ground. Despite the setback, he displayed remarkable late speed to finish just half a length behind. With an impressive season that includes reaching the Gold Cup final at Monmore and the Classic semi-finals at Sunderland, UNTOLD EURO’s class could make the difference this time.
20:01 Newcastle: SKEARD JOSIE (Trap 4)
SKEARD JOSIE (Trap 4) looks primed for success, having thrived from this draw at Newcastle in the past. She boasts a perfect record over course and distance from trap four, and her early pace could be the key. Jimmy Fenwick’s local contender, fresh from the Puppy Derby semi-finals at Towcester, benefits from a favourable draw. Trooper McEvoy (Trap 3), a strong railer, is positioned inside, while Beepers Lariat (Trap 1) tends to drift outward, creating space for SKEARD JOSIE to establish an early lead.
21:52 Swindon: VANESSAS MELODY (Trap 2)
VANESSAS MELODY (Trap 2) aims to secure a third consecutive win in this graded race. Paul Maynard’s runner impressed with a dominant front-running display two weeks ago and followed up last week despite carrying a double penalty. Although graded at the same level, she faces a more challenging draw near the rail. However, her controlled rightward movement and exceptional early speed should be enough to maintain her winning streak. Earlier this year, VANESSAS MELODY achieved a five-race winning streak, peaking at A2 level, highlighting her potential to deliver consistent results.
