Thursday's Greyhound Racing Tips

A full open card at Hove this evening including two minor finals, the Coral Winner Of One 500 Trophy Final at 8.07pm followed at 8.24pm by the Coral 695 Stayers Trophy Final.


***7.16 Hove - Hopes Kitty (4pts) 15/8
**6.59 Hove - Glenmavis (3pts) 2/1
*7.49 Hove - Zenith Aslan (2pts) 4/1

Thursday's Nap

The nap of the evening is trap two Hopes Kitty in the Coral 500 Standard Trophy Heat One at 7.16pm. This race depends on how Hopes Kitty comes away because if she traps on terms she will lead and make all. 


She should clear Zenith Sultan on her inside and hold Rogue Duo on her immediate outside so if she comes away running, she can lead and make all making it five victories from seven starts at Hove.

Tonight's Next Best

The next best of the evening is trap one Glenmavis in the National Greyhound Week 695 Stayers at 6.59pm. She has won two of her last three over C&D getting beat last time out when odds on behind Minstrels Six but finds herself well drawn on the inside this evening in a race she can dominate. 


Rules For Some in trap two always has to be considered due to her indifferent running style and Princess Athena can go to the bend well but the short run to the first bend can allow Glenmavis to get the early run required to go on and score taking her open race tally to three from six.

Thursday's Third pick

The third bet of the evening is trap one Zenith Aslan in the Coral 500 Standard Trophy Heat Three at 7.49pm. He stepped out the boxes seven days ago when well fancied going off the 4/6 favourite but only managed to finish third, beaten two and a half lengths. 


He is well housed on the inside to hold his line if trapping on terms with Fastlane Hoffa, Blarney Roy and Bowmers Wildcat all looking to dominate early so that can pave the way for the strong running Zenith Aslan to use the draw to his advantage and take the third and final heat.

The first final is the Coral Winner of One 500 Trophy at 8.07pm where Antigua Luigi from trap one can lead and make all with Deadly Disco showcasing his talents to take the Coral 695 Stayers Trophy Final at 8.24pm from trap six.
