Razldazl Apollo to bounce back in 2012 Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby Round 1 Heat 7 at Shelbourne Park
Ladbrokes Irish Greyhound Derby will be kicked off at Shelbourne Park on Thursday evening, August 2nd. The venue is due to host a lot of Round 1 races, but the seventh heat will the centre of attention, as it has attracted many dangerous hounds.
Among the participants are: Dragon Shield, Barefoot Allstar, Razldazl Apollo, Airforce Frankie, North Bound and Exit Milan. The 550 yards open race carries a cash prize of €250, and will be started at 20:10 GMT.
The entire line-up is so powerful that the punters will find it difficult to make their choice. However, a statistical analysis will help them stake their money meticulously.
Despite the fact that Razldazl Apollo was awful on his last outing, it is hard to overlook the class he possesses. D. Ruth’s charge is a talented hound, who has the ability to trouble even the best in business. The fawn dog showed his class in mid July, when beating Lolos Joe by 1½ lengths over this distance.
An unlucky ride has not switched on his lean patch, and the punters should not be reluctant to bet on him. The son of Forest Master is facing a very strong opposition, but holds the ability to get the better of them.
The main danger is Dragon Shield, who has been performing consistently over the past few weeks. After a couple of great wins, the white and black hound lost his rhythm for a while, but did well to ensure the runner-up spot last time out. The P. Buckley-trained will surely be a major player today.
Another strong contender is Airforce Frankie. Although the black dog is not one of the regular winners, no one can doubt his skills. The son of Westmead Hawk was an easy winner last time.
Barefoot Allstar is not good form these days. Exit Milan will find this class hard to tackle. Similarly, stepping up to the higher level will put North Bound under tremendous amount of pressure.
Dragon Shield and Airforce Frankie are certainly two dangerous runners. However, the pair will not be able to stop Razldazl Apollo from cruising to the next round. Good luck to all the runners.
