Verdict

Usual rules apply about a low draw being essential and Robin The Till gets the vote to capitalise on a good pitch; Dedante and Neo's Mate look the main challengers. None of the newcomers really stand out, perhaps Madame Trop Vite may be smart but a wide draw makes life very awkward. Instead then, it is Robin The Till who can take this. He has shown pace on his two starts to date and the fact that he has shown a tendency to go left out of the stalls shouldn't pose too many problems on this greyhound track. The stable continue in top form and he may prove hard to pass. Neo's Mate has three runs under her belt, and has shown some ability but nothing to get too excited about. That Boy Ronaldo needs to improve markedly, as does Josiah Bartlett. Dedante has all-weather experience and has run well around the tight turns of Lingfield. That will stand her in good stead for this track but her form looks nothing special, as does her draw. The market may shed some light on the newcomers, however it is Robin The Till who can prosper.
