Daily Greyhound Tips – Friday 7th August

STRIKES TWICE (1) should prove hard to beat off the cherry if he begins as well as he has been.

The Peter Young-trained dog mustered speed two starts back over this course and distance, crossing from box 7 before going on to win by 3.25 lengths in 22.04 seconds.

He then made it back-to-back wins last start, clocking 6.01 seconds to the first marker before scoring in a personal best of 21.91 seconds.

With another clean getaway, he should be able to get on the lure and make it a hat-trick of victories.

HOPE’S JACKY (1) returns from Rockhampton, where he was a touch stiff not to win last start.

He wanted to find the rail in the home straight and bumped the eventual winner before finishing three-quarters of a length second.

Prior to that, the Travis Elson-trained dog won back-to-back races over this course and distance in slick times of 21.55 and 21.56 seconds.

He is clearly the quickest dog in the race, and if he breaks six seconds to the first marker as he regularly does from the inside box, he should be hard to catch.

SUPER LEON (7) rarely runs a bad race over this course and distance, having won seven and placed in seven others from 18 starts.

The son of Tommy Shelby fought gamely last start when swamped late by Barefoot Elsa and finishing second.

Two starts back, when exiting this box, he ran down Athletic Tick, who he meets again here, to win in 21.77 seconds.

His best is good enough to claim this Free For All.

SPRING FLICK (8) can be forgiven for finishing 8.25 lengths fifth over this course and distance last start after being checked early.

The Pauline Byers-trained dog was excellent from this box two starts back, building momentum out wide before crossing and going on to win in 22.02 seconds.

That followed a dominant 8.25 length win three starts ago when he broke 22 seconds.

The outside box gives him a chance to build momentum, and hopefully he can cross.
