Harry Buchanan’s Monday Greyhound Best Bets

NORTHAM

Race 1 No. 1 Runs On Gas

Should have won last week after copping Amelia’s Jewel type trouble on Saturday. Needs to step better and is better than these. Should win this really. 

Race 5 No. 1 Unlimited Gas

Another who should win if he brings box manners exhibit A. Sadly, exhibit B turned up last week and the job was too much. Goes fast after box rise and can lead by the first turn and therefore win. 

Race 7 No. 1 Miss Valentine and No. 7 Sassy Blade

The 1 will go fast here and should finally find the arm. That’s her best hope……unless, the mighty Sass in 7 winds up and knocks on her door at the top. She’s the one who will descend here and they should fight it out. 

Race 8 No. 3 Hello I’m Sassy and No. 4 Emma Monelli 

The 3 isn’t a winner by any stretch but she could break back through here with a sneaky map to suit. Just needs to paint the fence and she will be strong late. The 4 will take some stopping here if she beats the 5 to the first turn. Has a class edge on these and this is her chance. 

Race 10 No. 5 Warm Regards 

Last chance. No excuses against this lot and she is simply too good for them if she decides to get into her work early instead of when it’s all over. Has a last section these can’t hold off and she gets no more if she doesn’t blow these away. 

Race 11 No. 7 Adventure Queen and No. 2 All Over Kora 

Good race. The 7 is a good dog who can muster up quickly here. Reliable box dog who goes good time for this grade and will win if she’s crosses solo. The 2 gets a good draw now and will dash up along the fence to try for the arm. Will also take catching if she gets it. One of them should go close to leading all the way here.
