Timeform Greyhound SmartPlays: Jupiter can prove out of this world at Nottingham

MOANING DIABLO (Trap 6) - 18:43 Romford

Romford's 18.43 is an interesting sprint contest on paper, featuring a host of in-form sorts, and Harlow raider MOANING DIABLO may well be the answer to this puzzle. The son of Laughill Blake arrives on a roll on home-soil of late, completing a graded sprint hat-trick just four days ago. Operating as the sole wide seed should play to his strengths and a bold showing is expected.

CHURCHILL LULU (Trap 3) - 20.12 Nottingham

CHURCHILL LULU matched her previous best on the sectional clock when making all in this grade of A2 in January and has largely proved to be consistent in defeat since. A smart trapper as a rule, she may well quickly skip a length clear of tonight's rivals from lid rise and we're hopeful she can hold off the challenge of the strong-running types late on.

JUPITER (Trap 2) - 20.46 Nottingham

JUPITER progressed steadily up the graded ladder at Nottingham late last year, landing a brace of A3 contests in December, and in truth his exploits in defeat at a higher level have been hard to knock subsequently. By our estimation he holds sound claims of leading on the inside this evening in a race that doesn't look particularly strong for the grade and all being well, he can make every post a winning one.
