Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Friday March 18
Timeform's Greyhounds team bring you three bets from Hove on Friday.
"It would come as little surprise were he to prove himself a cut above this grade in the 15:13 contest..."
WINDY WARRIOR (T1) is into the veteran stage of his career now, but the grader has given him every chance to snap a losing sequence by dropping him to A9 company for the first time in 11 months. Windy Warrior can often find himself facing an uphill task after a tardy start, but there isn't masses of early pace in the 14:37, so he may well be able to turn handy on the inside.
Ex-sprinter BOYNESIDE TIGER (T5) was heavily punted here last week having been allowed to contest an A5 race over 4 bends, but was unable to show his true colours after a troubled passage. It would come as little surprise were he to prove himself a cut above this grade in the 15:13 contest, a race in which he should lead up all things considered.
DINNER HAMPDEN (T5) was scratched from the card earlier this month, but posted a respectable trial time here last week, so is seemingly back on his game, and if that's the case, is up to landing the 17:28 contest as he holds an edge on the clock.
