Harry Buchanan’s Thursday Greyhound Tips

Posted on May 4, 2023 | Posted by Harry Buchanan

NORTHAM

Race 4 No. 1 My Dream

Excellent first up run here and boxed to go one better this time. Trainer is airborne and she has the draw to put these away. Strong type who will just keep coming to the line. 

Race 5 No. 6 Apollo Fun 

Well we left it in last week but he was as desperately unlucky as you will see. All but led first turn before sliced. Has been stepped up to the 509m trip which I wish they hadn’t but we should see him close to the arm and if he runs the trip, he will give a sight at big odds. 

Race 7 No. 6 Punctuation

Will go fast here with a clean step and take a lot of benefit from the look here last time. Rails hard and can run good time for the grade, gets every chance to lead throughout here. Repeats last week and wins. 

Race 8 No. 1 Golden Chopstick and No. 8 Jami Keeping 

The Mandurah Oaks final. The 1 looks a bird here and the money has come for her. Superb heat win and gets the plumb draw now. Only has to hold the fence, get a clean first turn and she goes seriously close. The 8 can’t win on equal terms but she could again go across the back here play for luck. There is almost certain to be first turn trouble here. She should be out of that. Spec save her EW in case she gets that lucky run. 

Race 9 No. 3 Ella Can Browse 

Looked like she was running into the race last week behind the oaks fav and hit a snag at the top. Could lead this time on her own and we will see a much better proposition from there. Musters quick and drawn well. Gets her chance now. 

Race 10 No. 2 West On Cobra and No. 1 Forty One Flash

The 2 is crying for a long back straight over the short trip. Has seen the track and will muster up here to try and land right there. Class runner. The 1 will lead early and assist that happening with the 2 but if he misses it then she could hold and go all the way. Been going well here and ready to win. 

Race 11 No. 5 Sammy Can Browse 

May have run last in a plate heat at Cannington last week but was a neck from crossing and giving them what for. Straight start better for her here and look for her to push up to the arm early. Will give a sight if she leads. EW player. 

SANDOWN PARK

Race 4 No. 7 Valor Bale

Good race this. He could slide over if he steps and his mid race speed can put these away. Track and trip stats superb and should hit top 2 with a clear run. Class greyhound and ready to score. 

Race 5 No. 6 Alpine Butterfly 

Needs the arm early so box manners critical here. Has any amount of talent when she’s out and running and has form over this trip. Beaten by a weapon last time so excusing that. Can atone here with a clean step. 

Race 6 No. 2 Hector Fawley and No. 7 My Catalina 

We get to see if the 2 is the next big thing in staying ranks. Has melted the clock his last two middle trips and showed no signs of stopping. If he stays as strongly, he decimates these. The 7 is also looking for this trip and she has been super her last couple. Stays well and winds up hard. Place heavy play for her. 

Race 7 No. 6 Launch Code 

Gee he’s a silly quote. Went through the launching pad series and continued to run good placings since against quality opposition. Has speed so can offset the box. If he finds the arm, he will take any amount of catching. EW go at a great price. 

Race 8 No. 2 Fred Rose and No. 7 Akina Jack 

Good race this. A couple at odds. The 2 has a stack of ability and can lead or come from back. Can sometimes wander a little but going for 5 on end here at a price and can surprise. The 7 makes a fast mid race move and at a big quote, could sweep into this. Has talent and while he is a level below these top ones, he’s consistent and can stun. Spec him EW. 

Race 9 No. 8 Whitely Bale and No. 7 Adhana Rico 

With the crasher in 6, these two get a march down the outside to the first turn. The 7 is strong and runs time and has been going well against super company. Don’t ignore her. The 8 was a great run last week. Loves a wide draw and goes well here. Has good sections and can hit the line. Both dogs can figure here. 

Race 10 No. 5 Classic Touch and No. 7 Money and Power

The 5 was huge last week. Winner went fast and he kept tearing ground off. Only has to offset the box here and will charge home over these. The 7 is underrated and can go fast early here. At the huge quote he can again give a sight and has strength and speed in his races. Don’t dismiss him. 

Race 11 No. 8 Hasko Bale

Back in trip and big show here. Massive quote and well drawn. Ran into Hector Fawley last time so forgive that. Has raced better dogs than this field and only has to get over early to be a force. Great EW bet with any luck at all. 

Race 12 No. 2 Springview Noah

Forgive last week. Went to make his run and was checked and dropped a few lengths. Got going again to finish best of the beaten division. Drawn well here and goes fast mid race and sustains it. Super place heavy play. Can win.
