Harry Buchanan’s Thursday Greyhound Tips

Posted on March 30, 2023March 30, 2023 | Posted by Harry Buchanan

NORTHAM

Race 6 No. 6 Turtle Fernando

First crack here at the track is the only downside. Best dog in the race and will step quickly and muster fast. If he crosses before the first turn, he wins. Only has to get it right here early. Big show. 

Race 7 No. 4 Kid Kimetto

This bloke has been here and has won here as well. Looks for the fence early and when he gets it, he drives home hard and will be priced to play here on the EW basis. Good hope with luck. 

Race 8 No. 2 Cindy Doyle and No. 3 Princess Emmy

First run at the track for the 2 but is racing well and gets a good map here behind the red. Hard to stop if she gets around the first turn safely. The 3 will go better than last time when she was flattened at the first turn off a wide draw. Placed 2 from 3 here and will keep hitting the line if clear. 

Race 11 No. 3 Mystify and No. 8 Samba Monelli

The enigma that is the 3 is the only dog that’s seen the track under race conditions. Could get messy and that’s where she hunts up and runs home hard. The 8 is the best dog in the race at his best. Box isn’t normally good but he might be aided by it here and get a look up the back. Will be strong home. 

SANDOWN PARK

Race 5 No. 3 Crackerjack Aret and No. 6 Haras Skipper

Both dogs huge in their heats. The 3 had no luck at all and sustained long run home to qualify. Improves here and big EW play. As is the 6 who has a monster motor. Can be tardy early but unleashes serious sections. Any luck and he is in it late. Both great EW plays. 

Race 6 No. 7 False Confidence 

Look for him to step better here and muster up out wide. Was good in his heat and looked in need of the run. Has performed well in hard races before and can handle the draw. Watch him go better this week with a clean getaway. 

Race 7 No. 8 Osprey Athena

With the hard crashing dog in 6, the 8 gets a march down to the first turn here. That will aid her in landing close and she sustains a big run home when wound up. Great run in the heat and has good box stats. Can figure. 

Race 8 No. 7 If You Say

He went around at any old price for us last week and was far from disgraced. Flattened, checked and blocked for a run yet still hit the line to run 4th. He is much much better than his current price shows and will give these a shock with any luck at all. 

Race 11 No. 8 Fabs Vegetable 

Gee he’s a silly price this bloke. Has been checked out of it a few times in full fields but there is no doubting his motor and the small field gives him his chance to show his best over this trip. Don’t dismiss him for top 2 plays. 

ANGLE PARK

Race 1 No. 3 Miss Free Rein and No. 1 Under Study

Final and while the fav will be hard to beat, she does need the arm. The 3 was superb in her heat and she is way over the odds here. Can run on strongly and land closer this week. The 1 is a smokie and while she gets back, she can get past a lot of these and hit the dais. Place heavy for her. The 3 is a great EW show however. 

Race 3 No. 8 Could Be King

Trialled quickly the other day and the small field gives him a chance to repeat that. Will balance up into the back and that’s where he starts to cut loose. Will take some stopping here with any luck at all. 

Race 5 No. 8 Fantastic Luna 

She was superb last week. Never looked like getting run down and doesn’t even have to lead here. Can Improve again on the clock and will handle the draw. Sits up there early and she’s hard to beat late. Top 2 player.

Race 6 No. 2 Aston Arena and No. 3 Zipping Highland 

The 2 can give a sight here. Will look for the arm off the good draw and can be very hard to get past when he gets it. Don’t ignore him. The 3 was checked out of it last time and will go better here with a bit more room early. Strong and hard to hold out late.
