Harry Buchanans Wednesday Greyhound Best Bets Posted on July 12, 2023 | Posted by Harry Buchanan CANNINGTON Race 5 No. 1 Storm Alert and No. 2 Coco Shimmer The 1 has his first crack at the inside draw and that could be a huge influence here. Part of a very promising litter and he has his own share of the talent. Could carve out a low to sub 30 if he used the draw to find the arm. Gee the 2 is a silly price here. She had nothing but pinball action last week before making strong run home ground and finishing 3rd. Her map reads a lot better this week and she just needs to push into it earlier. Great EW show. Race 7 No. 8 Jumpin’ Jules and No. 7 All Spiked Up The box draw is all wrong here and could get messy quickly. While neither can run the time these favs can, both 7 and 8 will present early here with fast wide musters to the first turn. After that, any trouble behind them will only benefit their chances. The 7 still trying to break through and this trip sees him out. It could be interesting however if he found the top here into the back. The 8 sticks on a little better and she too could lead these a dance and be hard to catch. Small EW specs on them both. Race 10 No. 5 No Limit Needed and No. 3 Bang (both reserves monitor for runs) This is hugely interesting here over the 380m. A few scenarios to play out. Let’s start with the 5. If she comes out her very best and leads, there is not a hope in this stratosphere that anything catches her, Fav included. She is by far the best dog in this race. FFA bitch who only has to handle this corner start with a spear out and it’s check and mate. Should that not happen, the 3 is more than capable of hopping on to the arm here. He’s another who is very hard to mow down over this trip and his draw here is quite good. He gets a play at the price. Now keep a watch for both reserves if either gain a run. Whilst a few don’t agree, the 9 should have won last start imo and was breath off crossing and leading which would have seen the race over. She can stun here off any box. The 10 is more than capable of going 21.60 off his best step on afast track. Another who could figure if he was to start. Race 11 No. 8 Electric Data and No. 2 Lenny Coaster This dog in 8 can get over here. He has the ability to come out quickly and accelerate immediately and he only has to get around the wide running 5 whose 380 speed may not be enough to hold the 8 up. Finds the arm and he wins. The 2 gets a much better draw this time and she will improve immensely. Goes better than it looks on paper and can stun here with a clean getaway. Don’t ignore her. Race 12 No. 1 Tweak Freak and No. 5 Stimulus I know tipping long odds on does zero for the majority of punters, however the 1 is probably over the odds here at $1.50 if we are keeping it in the fair dinkum department. She has literal panels on these, along with superb box manners, early speed and drawn to perfection. Not sure they will catch her. She would have to make a huge error early and the only way that’s possible is if the corner start catches her out. For that reason, we will also spec the 5. She is the most likely and most capable of putting this red under pressure if she hops out quickly and she could make a race of it. It’s the reds to lose however and she should be getting it done. WENTWORTH PARK Race 6 No. 7 Like Wildfire Well this has been a while coming. What can only be described as THE next big thing in Australian staying ranks, the anticipation for this is exciting to say the least. 8 starts, 7 wins, and a combined winning margin of 61.75 over those 7 wins. Some very good judges in NSW say there is a distinct possibly that this dog could be the first to eventually go under 41 seconds if he stays as strongly as they believe he will. This will be no walk around Glebe though and he is meeting some quality dogs. However if he gets the arm and he does indeed stay, it will be like wildfire, because he will set the track ablaze. Race 7 No. 8 Fat Boys Dream and No. 7 Nando’s Banner This fav is awfully short for a dog who didn’t find a lot in similar company last week. The 8 will be fitter again now and she ran up to the 5 but couldn’t get around and wilted in the run home. Boxed well and can go well. As can the 7 who comes out of the same race when running 2nd. Strong type who has a most consistent record here and will appreciate the box where his record is solid. Both good EW prospects. Race 9 No. 2 Irinka Digby and No. 5 Coight Again looking to upset this fav. The 2 has a lot of talent but as shown last start, can be very awkward and take a moment to get himself sorted. His big sections when given room to operate. Box gets him there sooner this week and strong hope. The 5 continues to hit the frame and is rarely out of the money here. Can handle all draws and keep grinding home hard in his races and will represent to double figure value here on a place heavy basis. Market Market
