Thats what the game is all about Woody opinions.On the night i will be betting Vic,Bittles and Jack if the prices stay the same.Critic and Impact too short imo but wont be laying at such big odds but will probably lay Jet if he stays the same.That is where the term value comes in that you struggle with.Everyone will be different but imo Impact is terrible value at the prices as is Critic and Jet is slightly poor value.Jack and Bittles are slightly good value and Vic is great value imo.I will stake accordingly with a decent bet on Vic and a smaller bet on the other 2 but at the prices have them winners.
Remember i priced up 2 minutes after the draw and to 106% book and not to 135%. |

The value has to be with the outsides here now,
odds on trouble inside imho not sure who is the most likely to benefit from it sidaz or the quickest wide starter bittles or critic |

personally think any trouble's gonna help the 1. dont really know what to do now.
want to lay off jack a little but think its slightly big. happy to lay jet just to make a different winner a bit sweeter. vic tempted by 2/1...but got pf in me head...he's bound to miss it once. impact...needs lots of trouble for me, could be in 5th or 6 approaching the bend or do a westmead hawk first win, miss the trouble, scoot around inside-ish and pick up jack on the run in again... id be gutted if i hadnt bet some back. bittles...def needs to ping and miss any trouble behind, maybe vic/jet jossle and we hear the screams of delight coming all the way from shelbourne or agony as jack benefits from the crowding. critic... has a terrible draw for me outside bittles who id fancy to lead AND possibly step slightly right on leaving the boxes. given critic didnt appear to shorten the gap on bittles going down the back or jet, i cant have critic. i honestly thought pf... that bittles was gonna come 4th at one point with critic / spy coming for him. .....the dog ran great. |

To me I have always felt draper as a trainer gets a dog to peek to early in the derby, he can't seem to keep a dog ticking along for the early rounds then improve in the SF or final, just look at his very poor record in the derby.
He OK at winnning 2 or 3 round competitions but can't seem to train a greyhound for 5 or 6 races and peek at the correct time. |

Spot on Ravage.He has had loads of amazingly talented greyhounds and it has been the same for years now.Great with 2 or 3 runs but the 3 fast rounds catch em out.

You could be right guys, Eske was a shadow of the dog we know he can be. Maybe the 3 quick runs were too much him and he's not that big (smallest dog in the semis). I think he needs a rest. As for the final, I have SJ at a decent price to small ante-post, but when I saw the draw I backed BV again, although I wouldn't have if Jet had trap 1. I think the two insides will bunch up and Vic has a reasonable draw considering the makeup and doesn't have to lead. Personally I think he's the best dog in the final.
My forecast : 3-6-5. Good luck to all that play. |

fair play bookie, you called it beforehand
just wonder how significant the 'fresh factor' is - jet, vic, jack all been very lightly raced and they're all buzzing, eske has been on the go and ran flat as a pancake last night gunna do some research on it within the next few months see if there is anything in it |

"Maybe the 3 quick runs were too much him"... ESKE
ER Hang on there ...... I have been told otherwise by my colleagues herein That's the way it is .... its a great test .... Some dogs thrive on it, some do not, ....I think people make more out of it than there actually is..... they are fed on the best tuned to the minute and cared for like no other animal....It tests the fitness,hunger and trackcraft of the dog, the knowledge of the dogs trainer keeping the dog fit, sound, well fed and hungry to go again. So someone is talking sh1te here |
