1XBET A5 STAKE GETS UNDERWAY AT YOUGHAL

The opening round of the €1,500 to the winner 1XBET takes centre stage at Youghal Greyhound Stadium today. It’s great sponsorship and a fantastic pot for the A5 event.

In the opening heat, the in-form Ballydorgan Val, for Eddie Lingane, looks capable of another front-running winning performance. She's drawn well in trap two, and the door is open for an all-the-way success. 

Glanworth Sally is the obvious danger, and the strong running tracker should go well from the inside of the track. In the care of Erica and Donal Hanrahan, she caught the eye in second last time, and it rates a good forecast for punters.

Carefree Raven stands out in race number six for trainer Bernie Connolly. Running well in recent weeks, this looks like a good opportunity for the selection to return to winning ways. He looks capable of leading early, and that should be the winning of the race.

Elsewhere on the card, Seaview Deise can apply front-running winning tactics for the Walsh family. Running well without winning in recent weeks, the selection stands out in this, and she's worthy of market support. All about early speed, she looks like a certain early leader, and she should make every yard of the running in this. 

In the following race, Johnstown Adam is another that's expected to give it a real go from the front.
