Harry Buchanan’s Thursday Greyhound Tips

SANDOWN PARK

Race 2 No. 6 If You Say

Monster quote about a dog who has an insanely strong formline through Dookie and Nangar. Both those would $1.20 here. He is slow early however and will need first turn luck but gee if he gets it, he can unleash big time. Can blow these away if he’s close and he is simply the wrong price. Place heavy and while the split needs to come, look out if he gets it. 

Race 3 No. 7 Magic Muffin 

Great beginner with explosive early speed. She spears over here and only has to repeat the last start 29.17 to be awfully hard to run down. Wins it at the start here if she steps her best. 

Race 4 No. 5 Dundee Rebel

Box is sticky but he can offset. Rushes up quickly after the start and the dogs around him shouldn’t press him too much. If he lands close it’s on and he is a good EW play. 

Race 5 No. 6 False Confidence and No. 4 Fifty Stars

The 6 has a tough draw but he gets a good map if he can come out a bit better. Dog inside him a shocking beginner and that gives him a chance to cross easier. Good record here. Little save on the 4 who is promising and could land handy. Will turn out to be a nice dog and can figure here. 

Race 6 No. 5 Al’s Entity and No. 7 Mepunga Tess 

The 5 has a whopping big engine. He just needs to secure clear running up the back and he can descend. Very hard to hold out here. The 7 will also hit the line well and she is a place heavy player. Has experience on some of these and will keep coming late. 

Race 8 No. 6 Crackerjack Aret

The best smokie of the night. Can drop some serious sectionals and while the draw is tricky, he has slow beginners outside him so gets his early room. If he drives up to the lead it’s in. Will prove very hard to stop. Great EW play. 

Race 9 No. 4 Aston Kalkara 

Another who has no early pace but gets into gear quickly up the back and sustains a very strong run home. His run last time was superb and gets the fence here just behind the pace. Watch him up the back get into this. 

Race 10 No. 7 Stella Girl and No. 6 Hippogriff

Forgiving the 7 last start when she ran 2nd. Not sure if she put the brakes on or not when she got there so benefit of the doubt applies. Will go close if she’s on. The 6 might surprise here. He goes better here than the Meadows and gets his chance to show if he can stay. Needs to get into it early. Save on him EW.

Race 11 No. 2 Lakeview Jordy 

He’s a good bolter this bloke. Stuck on much better than most thought he would last time and will improve again on that. Had good dogs in front of him too. He is well drawn and could land close here and will then give this a huge shake. Another EW player. 

Race 12 No. 2 Andre Bale

He really has to be winning this or no more. Has the box, the map and the ability to put these away and can offer no excuses this time. Should lead or go close to leading and that will be enough in this. Should go very close. 

ANGLE PARK

Race 5 No. 4 Fantastic Luna

Been looking for the trip and can step quickly. Lands prominent here and she becomes a very big threat. In great form.

Race 7 No. 3 Tomato Tears

Racing as well as ever and will again be strong home here. Gun draw and goes super around the track and trip. Major top two player. 

Race 11 No. 2 Shady’s Rocket and No. 8 Springview Force 

The 2 will improve and is at odds here. Will be one of the few who can get the trip in this. The 8 will muster fast and needs the arm. If he gets it he will get away up the back. Has to hold on them but he can.
