Greyhound Racing: Exocet to fly home
EXOCET (9.19) can rocket to success in the £8,000 John Smith’s Kent Derby final at Sittingbourne tonight – live on Sky Sports 3.
It may be through the stigma attached to that event
in the summer that has seen him lose popularity with punters and hence
the reason bookmakers are prepared to offer up prices as big as 11-8.
Forget what has gone before. None of that was down to the dog himself.
William
Hill’s quote of 10-11, the only firm to go odds-on about the trap four
runner, is on the money. Those that took our ante-post advice last week
and followed in with Droopys Danneel have to share in the disappointment
that he was picked up in a modest time. He qualified but cannot win on
that performance so switch allegiance to Exocet.
Ladbrokes betting: 11-10 Exocet, 3 Droopys Odell, 4 Droopys Danneel, 5 Islas Scolari, 10 Bridge Bandit and 25 Racy Thunder.
The
meeting also features the £8,000 final of the Cearnsport sponsored
Grand National in which there are, as per most hurdle races, many ways
of looking at things.
MO REALTA FRANK (9.04) is not fast enough to
win in a true run race but jumps contests are often anything but. He
looks certain leader on the inside and there is many other likely
scenarios but Coral’s and Hills’ 6-1 quote looks too big.
Despite
having close ties with the Kent track, personal success from punting
there has too rarely been achieved but surely an investment on
AAYAMZABELLA (8.34) in the marathon. She comes here in top form after a
track record-equalling romp at Newcastle last week.
