Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Alnwick can show her Class at Newcastle

BALLYMAC MACHU (Trap 5, 13:33 Central Park) was a prolific scorer when campaigned at Swindon, posting an effort akin to his best when making his final start at that venue a winning one back in June. Improving with each start on the sectional clock in his trials at Central Park, his exploits on final time read well in the context of this afternoon's contest and with further progress not ruled out, we're hopeful he can break fast and attempt to make every post a winning one.

SUPA KENZIE (Trap 3, 16:43 Newcastle) registered back-to-back victories upon arriving at Newcastle and whilst winless since, dropped a big hint that her turn may not be far away when going down by a head six days ago. Boasting a 50% strike rate in the white jacket the daughter of Taylors Sky lines up in a race lacking depth and ought to make a bold bid.

Remaining at Newcastle, the claims of ALNWICK CLASS (Trap 2) look fairly solid when she lines up at 17:22. Angela Harrison's charge is fancied to turn front rank and her penultimate third in this grade reads well in the context of this race. Facing sterner competition of late than she does this afternoon, she's fancied to have enough in reserve to hold the challengers.
