Captain Scolari, the strongest runner in 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 2 Heat 1 at Shelbourne Park
Despite an unlucky defeat last time, Captain Scolari will be very hard to beat in the 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 2 Heat 1, taking place at Shelbourne Park on Thursday, August 9th.
After a couple of dazzling victories at Drumbo Park, the blue dog came to this track with plenty of expectations. He raised his supporters’ hopes by making a wonderful solo journey here last month. The son of Droopys Scolari stopped the clock in just 28.52
seconds over 525 yards.
Although Captain Scolari’s confidence was at a high after a few fine trips, he completely failed to maintain the standards in the opening round of the 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby. Despite having every chance, he could not make an impact and as a
result, ended up fifth behind Lisnakill Ross.
It was certainly an unlucky defeat for the big fellow, as he was just over-two lengths behind the champion. The punters should give him another chance, not judging him on the last performance.
Other hounds in the crew are: Tyrur Domingo, Heady Days, Lolos Joe, Rockburst Saint and Lahern Dancer. The second round of the Derby will be kicked off at 20:25 GMT. The winner will not only earn a place in the next round, but also a handy cash prize worth
€250.
Rockburst Saint is yet to make a fine impression at this level. After a few good shows at the lower level, he stepped up to this class, but failed terribly. The blue hound was fifth last time around.
Lolos Joe is completely out of rhythm these days and therefore, the punters should not take a chance on him. Tyrur Domingo is surely a very dangerous runner, who has tasted success in this class. However, a clean ride is required to do some damage today.
Lahern Dancer surprised everyone by notching up the second spot last time. Yet, the black dog is not trustworthy, because he has not yet settled down at this level. Heady Days needs to ride his lucky early in order to fancy some chances.
According to our calculations, Tyrur Domingo is the main threat to Captain Scolari. Heady Days needs something extra special to thrive. Good luck to all the runners.
