Friday's Tips 

*** Ballymac Sargie - 7.43 Sunderland

** Jacko - 9.33 Romford

* Meenagh Minsk - 8.53 Romford


A six-bend contest at Sunderland tonight sees the best bet of the evening, with Ballymac Sargie taken to emerge from the muddle of middle seeds with an early lead. He is an excellent performer over both four and six bends and his early pace over the former can see him take up the running at an early stage here and never look back. 


A missed break in the maiden heats last week cost Jacko dear, finishing behind a couple of his rivals tonight in the final. He went backwards 18 spots on his sectional from the week before which made all the difference to him. He dipped under 24 seconds off that much better split, and a reproduction of that would see him away and gone in this field.  


Although Meenagh Minsk was disappointing last week at Romford, she is capable of so much better than that. She was a semi-finalist in the Premier Greyhound Racing Oaks last autumn and that level of form does set the standard here if she can reproduce it on this different track. She is taking a while to get to grips with Romford but she is worth giving another chance to.
