Fortune runner just the Trick

There are a number of tempting propositions on tonight’s card but Mickys Trickster stands out as the one with greatest claims and he warrants the nap selection in the second semi-final of the Greyhound & Pet World A1 525.

Martin Fortune’s dog, who won a heat of the Laurels in 2011, was an impressive winner of his first-round heat last Saturday night, when his early pace gained the day.

Ideally drawn outside three modest breakers, he should have the legs of his rivals in the early stages and that can lead to victory. Prima Vera earns marginal preference over the strong-finishing Croom Upper for the minor role.
