Saturday's Tips 

*** Ballydoyle Tina - 8.58 Dunstall Park

** The Other Chief - 8.09 Star Pelaw

* Texas Jack - 7.30 Central Park 


There should be more to come from Ballydoyle Tina after a smart start to action at Dunstall Park in a trial. She is at the head of the outright betting for the Premier Greyhound Racing Oaks, and even in a race where there is plenty of early pace in against her, she should prove far too classy for these. Her Irish form against the likes of Bouncing Monarch and Bockos Gold stands out a mile in here. 


It is the semis of the SIS/Star Sports Stewards Cup at Star Pelaw where The Other Chief has had the luck of the draw and found himself in the easiest of the three semis. He was impressive in the opening round, setting a better time than looked likely given he found some trouble. He is capable of stepping up on that with a clear run, although he probably won't need to.


Central Park will see the heats of the Premier Greyhound Racing Kent Derby where the 2025 runner-up Texas Jack is one of the best drawn dogs on the card. He has the slowest starter in the field directly to his inside and then four railers inside of that. A couple of those railers are smart types in Ballymac Blanco and Brunch Pal but the selection can utilise the draw to his benefit.
