Deanridge Viking vying to win Greyhound Derby at Wimbledon
Deanridge Viking is vying to claim top spot in the Williamhill.Com Greyhound Derby – 2nd RND – Heat 9 that will take place at Wimbledon racecourse on Saturday night, May 5. The action is scheduled to begin at 20:00 (GMT).
In the high-profile Open Race over a distance of 480 meters, the D. Childs-trained black dog will confidently compete against five worthy rivals such as Doonane Lad, Shelbourne Abi, Big Step, Share The Spoils and Skywalker Gold. The prize purse contains
£150.
Deanridge Viking has been delivering impressive and outstanding performances since the dawn of 2012. After winning a big race on March 31, the three-year-old dashing dog marvellously bagged a couple of consecutive triumphs in the second decade of April.
The talented hound elegantly finished 4th in his last outing on April 27.
As a whole, the talented son of Head Bound out of Shellys Crown has a number of iconic feats to his name. The brilliant Sprinter has got a favourite band for the Derby and he will surely be able to outplay his competitors in the mega marathon.
If Deanridge Viking manages to capitalise well on his inherent capabilities, his chances to thrive in the race will be as high as 90 percent.
However, each one of Big Step and Skywalker Gold can give the hot favourite hound enough tough time on the track.
Big Step elegantly accomplished a fabulous hat-trick during the last month. Prior to this, the M. Locke-trained brindle dog had won a big race on March 14. He will strive to take a big step towards success in tonight’s showdown. If Deanridge Viking fails
to contain him in the early stage of the race, he can trigger an upset.
On the other hand, Skywalker Gold won two races in a row during the first decade of March 2012. The T. Soppitt-trained black dog proceeded to finish as a runner-up on April 7. As a whole, he possesses an excellent track record.
In the light of the above analysis, it is predicted that the competition will be rip-roaring. Let us see how Deanridge Viking manages to justify the favourite tag. Good luck to all the hounds.
