The Force can be with punters

The contest of the night at Shelbourne this evening is the opening semi-final of the Betfair 600. Likely favourite Tibetan Skies will need to be sharper at traps than he has been in his last two outings.

There is no doubt he is amongst the fastest greyhounds in training from the second turn, but he can’t afford to allow the likes of Razldazl George, Kingo, Dynamic Trend or Monleek Force to get too far clear.

It’s the last named that comes into tonight’s contest with the best form. After making all in his last two starts, posting 32.69 and 32.54 in the process, it’s fair to suggest he is likely to make a bold bid once again.
