Daily Dogs Bet: Hippy for the Henlow value

Daily Greyhound Bets / Darrell Williams / 13 March 2010 / Leave a Comment

Dazzle Special could take some stopping in the Henlow Grand Prix, but with a tough Quarter-final and a potential season on the horizon, Darrell Williams assesses the value elsewhere.

Dazzle Special could hardly have made a bigger impact on her first look at Henlow when breaking the track record in the heats of the Grand Prix earlier in the week and she is now a warm order ante post for the six bend event which continues this lunchtime.

While it's hard to envisage defeat for the Theresa Hunwicks' trained bitch in her Quarter-final, the Golden Jacket runner-up has hardly drawn the easiest of races (1330) with three of her rivals lurking just below her in the ante post list. With the serious threat of her also coming into season before the event is completed, it might be worth looking for other alternatives in trying to build up an ante post portfolio.

Paul Hennessy must be applauded for sending across Golden Jacket winner Group Skater, but it's his kennelmate Hello Hippy, a semi-finalist in the Crayford event, that makes most appeal this time. Drawn in without doubt the weakest of the four Quarter-finals (1345), there's no reason why she can't again dominate from trap one as she did in last Monday's heats and should be backed ante post at [7.0]

While Superstar Lily might have her work cut out in terms of trying to win the event, she looks a good back to lay prospect outright, and should complete a Henlow four-timer in the first Quarter-final at 1300, which is sure to see her odds a lot shorter than the current [11.9].

Midway Rouble has plenty to live up to if he's to be half as good as his half-sister Midway Skipper, but should prove too classy in the other Quarter-final at 1315.
