Daily greyhound tips for Friday 7th August, including Q1 Lakeside best bets, race analysis, box draws and betting opportunities. Q1 Lakeside Race 4 – THE LIDS FLY HOSTED POTS M5 390m No. 1 Strikes Twice 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…

Daily Racing Tips - Friday 7th August

• Craig Sheppard
Our Daily Racing Tips for Friday at Ipswich are headlined by several runners who look well placed across the card. Ipswich Race 1 – VINCE INSURANCE Class 1 Plate (800 METRES) No. 7 Lady Milan LADY MILAN (7) had been building to a win after placing in three races in a row, including a Gold Coast second beaten 1.65 lengths. She then broke through emphatically over this course and distance last start, leading throughout to win by 4.3 lengths. That win should give the Tony Gollan-trained mare the confidence to go on with it. With Leah Martyn’s 1.5kg claim and…

Doomben Preview – Wednesday 5th August 

Doomben Preview – Wednesday 5th August 

• Craig Sheppard
Wednesday racing heads to Doomben for an eight-race program, with the track rated a Soft 5 and sunny weather forecast. Given we are still in winter, it is hard to see the track conditions improving too much, so we should be working around that Soft 5 range throughout the afternoon. The rail is out 9.5m, which is always worth noting at Doomben, as that set-up has traditionally favoured on-pace runners. With that in mind, the speed map and early positioning look important across the card. Horses with tactical speed should get every chance if they are good enough, and that…

Sandown Preview – Wednesday 29th July

Sandown Preview – Wednesday 29th July

• Craig Sheppard
Wednesday racing returns to Sandown for another eight-race card on the Hillside track, where track conditions are again set to play a key role. The track is rated a Soft 5, but with rain forecast on Tuesday and showers expected on Wednesday, it looks likely to remain in the rain-affected range. The rail is out 9m, the same position as last week’s midweek meeting, where we had a strong read on the card and tipped six winners from eight races. With that in mind, let’s work through our Sandown betting strategy and see if we can keep the momentum going.…

Sandown Preview – Wednesday 22nd July

• Craig Sheppard
Wednesday racing heads to Sandown for eight races on the Hillside track, with conditions set to play a key role. The surface is rated a Soft 7, and with late showers forecast on Wednesday, it looks likely to remain in the rain-affected range. The rail is out 9m, and while the Hillside circuit generally gives runners their chance, that set-up can make momentum and finding the right lanes important as the meeting unfolds. With that in mind, let’s get into the Sandown preview and break down the card. Race 1 – 3YO Maiden Plate (1200 METRES) No. 8 French Accord…

Redcliffe Harness Preview - Monday 20th July

• Craig Sheppard
Start the week right at The Triangle, with Redcliffe expert Oli Cownie breaking down Monday night’s eight-race card. Race 1 ROSIES BOY (1) drew poorly last time out and was shuffled back in the run before getting into fifth late behind Ascot Annie and One Last Roll. He draws to have options in this race from a good draw. He has led and won previously and may elect to hold the lead in the early stages. ROLLING BONUS (4) ran a good race at Albion Park four starts ago behind Princess Arna. He drew poorly last time out and was…

• Craig Sheppard
Saturday’s Doomben preview features a nine-race card, with conditions set to be a key factor across the afternoon. The track is currently rated a Soft 5, but with showers forecast through to the weekend, there’s every chance it stays in that range or gets a touch softer. The rail is out 2.5m, which should provide a fair set-up and give every runner their chance. There’s plenty to assess across the Doomben card, so let’s work through the program and find a few winners. Race 1 – THE GIBSON QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap (1200 METRES) No. 1 Tengun Tommy TENGUN TOMMY (1)…
