JONATHAN HOBBS: Our greyhound pundit is back looking again at the big race action from Romford with the £10,000 Coral Romford Puppy Cup Final. Where are his best BETDAQ bets?
After the Champion Stakes and the TV Trophy, Romford’s golden season continues on Friday with the £10,000 Coral Romford Puppy Cup Final and the advice is to take the fancy prices about Young Princess – NOW!
Support for the locally-trained bitch will grow leading up to the race, with every chance to lead the charge. There are better, stronger types in behind her perhaps – but everyone knows the value of a lead, especially at Romford!
The Puppy Cup Final is one of a host of top races at the Essex venue, with RPGTV viewers in for a treat with a busy weekend ahead given its the Jay & Kay Kent St Leger semi-finals from Crayford on Saturday and the Ladbrokes Kent Derby semis on Sunday.
But it’s Romford we’re concentrating on . . .
Romford
6:27 Snapped up from Liz McNair’s kennel, Whizzy Diamond looks to make a winning debut for Paul Young. Formerly known as King Diamond, he is a littermate of the Kings Sheeran, Dylan, Lennon – and Queen Beyonce – and trialled well enough over C&D.
Play: Whizzy Diamond
8:44 Enter the stage reigning Oaks champion Ravenswood Flo for Kevin Hutton. Lightly raced in 2019, she is therefore open to improvement and will come on for two trials at Romford. Expect her to soon be handy in this 400m contest.
Play: Ravenswood Flo
8:38 Ballymac Camdon could be another winner for the Hutton camp. The draw is a first from the red-box and could make a difference with improvement likely from the two-year-old after just five races.
Play: Ballymac Camdon
8:53 So could the Hutton bandwagon roll on here? Argentina did this column a turn in the heats last week and the 2018 Puppy Derby champion can strike again in the final with every chance of dominating. He boasts fantastic early speed and can make all.
Play: Argentina
9:08 The multiples could be interesting by this stage. Team Hutton sends out Ballymac Diego in another final and, while undone by the improving Saleen Ash last week, remains the percentage call if managing to hold his position into the bend. A slick exit helps.
Play: Ballymac Diego
9:26 Plenty of chances in this Puppy Cup Final. Newcastle’s Droopys Carat was quickest last week, but can he clear Make No Apologie? Similarly, the powerful Badminton Donal has Young Princess to clear. Could Paul Young’s blue jacket escape the pack?
Play: Young Princess
9:56 Good to see Aayamza Express back on the card. Mark Wallis’s bitch won the Coral Champion Stakes when last at the track and, since given a Doncaster trial ahead of her Yorkshire St Leger bid, remains in good heart and looks to have a cracking make-up.
Play: Aayamza Express
