Henlow Bookmakers Silver Salver Heat 3
Eye Onthe Tempo will race from the first trap in the third heat. He’s looked good of late finishing in the top three in 11 of his past 12 races. He’s also won six of those races.
In trap two is Droopys Elbow, another strong racer who’s finished in the top three in seven of his past nine races. Elbow will likely advance to the semi-finals.
Droumeragh Kai may start this heat as the favourite. She’s only finished outside the top three in one of her past 12 races.
Droopys Master won his last race, but finished fourth and fifth in the two races immediately before that. Master tends to find a way to win once in a while, but has only once in his career won back-to-back
races. He’ll go from trap four.
All That Noise is another hound that could be the favourite coming out of trap five, but punters should be wary of Noise. He does have two wins in his last four races, but he also has two fifth place finishes,
making it difficult to predict where he’ll finish in this race.
In trap six is Westmead Palace. He’s only won one race in his past 15 attempts, and it’s unlikely he’s going to turn that around in this race with such a difficult field going against him.
Henlow Bookmakers Silver Salver Heat 4
Starting in trap one in the fourth heat will be Farloe Dasher. He’s won two of his past three races, and finished second in the other. One of those wins was in an A1 race. Dasher could win this race, and
will almost definitely finish in the top three.
In trap two is Jaytee Tiger. He won three of four races heading into October, but since then he’s got a fourth place finish, and two fifth place finishes. He’ll bounce back eventually, but it may not be
Thursday.
Raving Black will race from the third trap. He’s finished in the top three 12 of his past 13 races. He’s also won three of his last four. He should be the favourite in this race.
Barnfield Rocky has won two of his past three, but couldn’t get into the top two in the five races before that. He’ll likely not be able finish in the top two in this race with Dasher and Black racing
against him. He’ll race from trap four.
In trap five is Westmead Oriole. She hasn’t won in her past 11 races, but has a few fifth and sixth place finishes. She’ll have a difficult time reaching the semi-finals.
Odell Knight will race from trap six. He’s got one win in his past eight races, and finished fifth in his last race.
Best bet: Raving Black should be able to come out with the victory in this race, but if Farloe Dasher has long odds, he’ll be the best bet.
