Best Bets: Wednesday 5 June

Amys Friend (Trap 2) - 19.42 Sunderland

Amys Friend looks worth an interest in the 19.42 at Sunderland. The blue has not done much wrong recently, finishing second three times in a row prior to getting badly bumped last time, and is well boxed inside his only opponent with similar early pace. This is his easiest assignment since winning an A3 back in March and hopefully he can take full advantage.

Springwell Rose (Trap 4) - 20.13 Sunderland

The best bet at Sunderland this evening, however, may well be Springwell Rose in the 20.13 at Sunderland. Backing a greyhound that has finished last in her last three races might not seem good practice at first glance, but dig deeper and her prospects have been hindered by bad crowding in each of those runs. As a result, she finds herself in a lower grade tonight and she was far too good for her rivals the last time she was seen in it. This race is no harder.

Last Man Stands (Trap 4) - 20.23 Peterborough 

Last Man Stands is worth another chance in A4 grade in the 20.23 at Peterborough. The selection managed only third last time when dropped down from A3 company but given a very slow start that was a creditable effort and the time was decent. His previous outing in tonight’s grade resulted in a win and he can score again given a better break than last time.
