Truly Blue and Ballymac Eithne: Two hotties at Sheffield – Grade A2 Race Preview
Sheffield greyhound racing track is ready to host a Grade A2 race of 500m Flat distance tonight, February 16. The £102 contest will begin at 13:44.
In a bid to make some solid predictions about the event’s results, we go through the career records of all the six runners including Truly Blue, Ballymac Eithne, Hyena Hawk, Swift Haymaker, Linfit Harrison, Fintans Sid.
This betting preview will guide the bookmakers to stake their money meticulously.
Following is the analysis in a nutshell:
Truly Blue
The blue dog has been extra-ordinarily consistent since the very beginning of his career. After registering an excellent track record during 2011, the trainee of N Melbourne accomplished a couple of outstanding consecutive victories in the first month of the calendar year.
At the moment, he is floating with high form which is likely to help him thrive tonight. He has 90 percent chances to win.
Ballymac Eithne
After remaining out-of-form throughout October-November 2011, the white and blue b***h accomplished a marvellous hat-trick by winning three ace events in a row from December 30 to January 21, 2012.
This recent achievement has worked to perk up her morale to a great extent and she is expected to perform well tonight, too having 90 percent chances to finish first.
Hyena Hawk
Since November 8, 2011, the blue and brined dog has won just one race to date. The trainee of A Mckenna performed pathetically during his last four races, losing his confidence badly. Now he does not seem to be in a position to thrive in today’s battle.
Swift Haymaker
After registering an elegant hat-trick during November-December 2011, the black dog won the fourth race of his career on January 28, 2012. He finished 3rd and 2nd in two subsequent races during the first decade of the calendar month. Thus, C Hopkins’ novice runner seems to be in good form which has raised his chances of victory up to 70 percent.
Linfit Harrison
Since the dawn of 2012, the white and black dog has achieved a couple of decent victories which are supposed to have hiked his confidence level. The E Parker-trained young runner is going to perform well in this race too, having 75 percent chances to bag first spot.
Fintans Sid
J Smith’s black dog has not won any race since the beginning of 2012. However, he had one good victory in December 2011. His ongoing lean patch has mitigated his chances of success in today’s race to a great extent. He will do no more than finishing third or fourth.
Conclusion
The above overview suggests that there will a do-or-die battle between Truly Blue and Ballymac Eithne for the top position in tonight’s high-voltage event. Swift Haymaker is also likely to fight well. Out of the three potential competitors, Truly Blue seems to be the hot favourite.
