What a cracking night of racing we have lined up tonight with 3 heats of the Group 2 McKenna Memorial at Sandown Park and the final of the Group 1 Winter Cup at Albion Park.
We look to of found some nice winners at Sandown Park and we will have a play into the Winter Cup final.
We also hope to fill our pockets on Ricky Leonard’s selections at Warrnambool as well.
Good luck to all playing along with Punting Stars Greyhound Tips.
SANDOWN PARK:
RACE 3: This is a super hot grade 5 race to getting into with ONE PLUS TWO (4) DIRK BALE (5) & MANILA DAWN (6) all coming into the race with super form but I’m going to select CAVALCADE who jumps from box 3 for an each way bet. She was super at The Meadows last start in a FFA where we backed her again as an each way bet. It’s going to be a real drag race to the first turn but I believe she will jump to the front and be off and gone!
RACE 4: Heat 1 of the Group 2 McKenna Memorial is an absolute cracker. SHIMA SONG has drawn perfectly in box 2 over the 595m start whereas BEWILDERING who is up there as one of the quickest dogs in the country has drawn very poorly in box 6. He is currently around the $2 mark which I find short odds considering the draw whereas SHIMA SONG is currently around the $3.7 mark. I’m purely selecting SHIMA SONG on top on the draw and odds. Whatever amount you outlay on SHIMA SONG, place half that stake on BEWILDERING at $2 to cover your costs if he gets the win.
WIN BET – SHIMA SONG
WIN BET – BEWILDERING $2 (cover your spend)
RACE 5: The best stayer in the country BURN ONE DOWN (7) lines up in a restricted win race over the 715m trip. He was sensational in the stayers invertational at Albion Park last start from the same draw. He is up there with one of my favourite dogs to watch and the more you put on the more you’ll get back tonight.
RACE 6: This is clearly the best race of the night with multiple stars looking to cement a place in the McKenna Memorial final next week. ZIPPING HAWK (2) has been flying over the sprint trips and I expect him to be in front early. MIDNIGHT ELSA (5) is one of the most exciting stayers and is going to have a huge future. The draw is a little concern with her but if she can settle in top 4 early she will be hitting the line very hard.
FANTA BALE (8) is an outright superstar. She is a multiple Group 1 winner and from the outside draw I expect her to be winning.
A very difficult betting race as there plenty in this field that I’d like to be betting on but we will play safe and back FANTA BALE. She is just pure class and I expect her to be very hard to beat.
RACE 8: A very difficult race to try map out with the way the box draw has played out. I’m selecting FLYRITE (1) on top as I expect her to be out in front on the bunny and might sneak to big of a break for the stronger dogs to catch her. She is worth an each way ticket.
ALBION PARK – GROUP 1 WINTER CUP FINAL
A super night with our selections last week for the heats of the Winter Cup. Our selection in the ALL IN market NANGAR ROCK has drawn poorly in box 5 but at $21 and $5 a place we will have fingers and toes crossed he can come out running.
ICOSMIC BONUS (1) FAST TIMES (4) NANGAR ROCK (5) and ANDO’S MAC (8) all under $5 just shows how even this final is. I’m selecting ANDO’S MAC to come out on top. He will benefit from the run last week and I expect him to fly down the outside and be too good. He has the class advantage and he looks set to take out his 3rd Group 1.
Looking forward to sitting by the wood fire with sky racing on and cheering home a few winners!
Good luck and happyĀ punting!
