Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Amalfi can be Fabulous at Towcester

Shady Dan (Trap 3) - 16.08 Towcester

One hound who found himself most unfortunate last week was SHADY DAN (Trap 3, 16.08) who looked all set to double his career tally before severely impeded on the run-in, that compromising his chance. However, the zest he showed that day signalled him out as one to be interested in and he can trap fast and gain deserved compensation this afternoon.

Pennys Fraxinus (Trap 2) - 17:08 Towcester

PENNYS FRAXINUS (Trap 2, 17.08) found box-napping/early crowding catching her out on her competitive return to sprinting two weeks ago. However, her trial exploits previously read well in the context of this afternoon's affair and with one of her better breaks, she can be expected to be competitive.

Fabulous Amalfi (Trap 2) - 17:44 Towcester

FABULOUS AMALFI (Trap 2, 17.44) possesses some excellent early pace, that she displayed when making all in A6 company in April. Competitive in defeat subsequently, she was arguably deserving of having her latest effort marked up, hassled for the lead early but faring creditably in finishing only one and three quarter lengths behind the winner back in fourth. She's fancied to seize an early lead on the rails from lid rise and is fancied to have enough in reserve to hold off the challengers.
