Tricky card at Warrnambool tonight with the highlights for me being Reefton Treasure (our old sparring partner) making an appearance over the 650m at Warrnambool and the return of Kilty Express over the 390m who is a group 1 winner back to his home track.
It is a huge step back from the group races and city events that they have contested in the past but Anthony Azzopardi and Dustin Drew are here to resurrect the form of their brilliant dogs.
If they bring 80% of their best then they will win but I am going to bypass betting in those race because I they will both be super short and I would like to watch them return to form before taking those odds.
Race 1
Going with the number 7 Allen Quintus here in the first. If it jumps away cleanly then it should win Allen Quintus win
Race 2
Backing the luckless Mepunga Dasha (box 5) each way. From a top litter of chasers and out to the 450m it should be a good winning chance and at good each way odds $6 and $1.90 Mepunga Dasha each way
Race 3
Amigo Two (box 5) is the class runner in this race in my opinion and I will be backing him to win this race. Amigo Two win
Sandown Park Greyhound Tips for tonight!
Race 8
I am hoping that Punting Stars very own Matt Lanigan can get his very promising dog Zipping Inglis (box 1) home in this race. He has been very impressive of late and was only beaten by a whisker here last week over the same trip. I think box 1 is a big bonus and if he can hold the rail early and keep Alpha Lucky (box 2) parked in behind him then he might be too strong for this bunch.
Cautious of Alpha Lucky- he has beaten home group 1 winners in the past and if he jumps away cleanly then he is a big danger. Zipping Inglis Win
Race 10
Wide open race and I am going to be backing Allen Jeer (box 6) each way. He is dropping way back in class here and if gets clear running then he is a big hope on winning this race. You can get $6 the win and $2 the place as we speak and if he runs anything close to his recent 22:19 win at Shepparton then he will be hard to beat. Allen Jeer each way
Race 11
Pretty ordinary race and we will just have a small interest on Tanjira (box 1) each way. He ran a super 2nd here in April in really quick time and if he gets a good cart into the race then I think he can win this at good each way odds of $10 and $3.10. Tanjira (box 1)
