Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Exciting Milo can go in again

Coney Boom Boom (Trap 2, 18.36) hasn't tasted success since early March, yet that was victory at open class level and operating in A3 company this evening he may well be ready to strike. Sandwiched between a pair of early-paced types last time , John Sharp's charge didn't shape at all badly in finishing third, not able to open up fully until the last bend. Crucially, the son of Makeshift may well be able to seize an early lead in this field and is fancied to capitalise.

An intriguing puppy contest kicks off the open race action at 19.09 and in our book, it may pay to side with Newcastle raider Ardralla Jim (Trap 2). A progressive type, he had little go right in his respective heat of the Brinkleys Poet at Stud Young Guns competition last week. Breaking well, he found crowding halting his progress at crucial points. That experience ought not to have been wasted on him and he may well be up to stealing first march on the rails and come out on top with further progress a distinct possibility.

Blackstone Milo (Trap 6, 20.12) could hardly have been more impressive when taking his heat of the Brinkleys Poet at Stud Young Guns 7 days ago, his effort on the sectional/final clock excellent for a youngster. A middle seed, he's well-housed in stripes outside a field full of railers and granted another smart exit from the boxes, Ted Soppitt's charge can emerge victorious.
