Close clash predicted in SIS Mini Open 525 Semi-final at Shelbourne Park
Greyhound racing fans are anxiously waiting for the semi-final of SIS Mini Open 525, which is scheduled to be hosted by Shelbourne Park on Saturday, March 10, 2012.
According to the plan, the Grade OR heat is due to get underway at 20:32 (GMT). The winner of this 525 yards flat heat will be awarded with a cash prize worth €100.
The runners competing in the clash are: Satin Conor, Saint Bernard, Swords Jacko, Piercestown Buzz, Rathbawn Tommy and Airforce Zulu.
Giving odds to the participants will be a tough job for the bookmakers, since there are many strong contenders in the line-up. Yet, the punters don’t need to worry, as Bettor.com presents a special preview for their assistance.
According to our calculations, the trio of Satin Conor, Saint Bernard and Swords Jacko is likely to battle hard for the top slot. All three hounds are well capable of displaying a fine show and thus, an exciting clash is on the cards.
Satin Conor requires a lot of luck to do some damage tonight. The black dog performed poorly in his previous two races, finishing fifth and fourth respectively.
After a couple of dismal performances, his confidence might be a bit down today. However, he cannot be taken lightly due to enormous talent he possesses. The dog will be able to do well, if he manages to avoid being crowded in the middle.
Saint Bernard failed to complete his previous race in December last year. After a long gap, the black dog returned to action on February 25, making a fine solo outing.
Although his recent stats are not impressive, one can expect him to shine, as he will be fresh after a break.
Swords Jacko grabbed his last victory in mid January. Failing to perpetuate his good run, he could not produce a winning performance after that. His last outing was quite embarrassing, as he completed the order of finish.
Conclusion
With no contender in winning momentum at the moment, it is very hard to single out one clear favourite. Yet, a brief look at the recent performances suggests that Satin Conor, Saint Bernard and Swords Jacko are likely to be given the highest odds.
Since Rathbawn Tommy and Piercestown Buzz are recent winners, they cannot be ignored.
