Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Broom to prove too Swift for rivals at Nottingham

BALTOVIN LINDA (Trap 5) - 15.44 Sheffield

Following a fairly comfortable 1 ¼ length success four starts back, BALTOVIN LINDA has performed with plenty of credit on two of her three starts since faced with sterner competition, coming from an unpromising position to go down by a head latest after being held up during the opening exchanges. Far from reliant on an early lead, Paul Gregson's charge is expected to lead those closest to her and announce herself as a lead player from the ¾ point.

RODDICKSMEDADDY (Trap 5) - 16.43 Sheffield

RODDICKSMEDADDY hasn't tasted success since making virtually all in A7 company in September, yet there have been signs she's ready to strike in recent weeks down at the basement level, twice finding only unexposed youngsters too strong. With sound claims on final time and obvious claims of turning front rank, all looks set fair for a big run this afternoon.

SWIFT BROOM (Trap 6) - 20.06 Nottingham

SWIFT BROOM is established as a reliable operator in A4 class, as she proved when regaining the winning thread at the beginning of last month. The daughter of Storm Control is much better than her latest effort suggests and she's fancied to prove too strong for this evening's rivals.
