BOYLESPORTS PRICE UP DERBY THIRD ROUND HEATS
Ian Fortune
Boylesports have again been quick on the draw, pricing up each of the eight third round heats in the Boylesports Irish Greyhound Derby.
Yesterday’s draw has been relatively kind to those in the top end of the outright betting with many kept apart.
That has resulted in a number of short priced favourites again. None will be shorter than the hot favourite Bockos Diamond. The brilliant Graham Holland trained son of Dorotas Wildcat was sensational in the second round, clocking a stunning 29.03 and he has been introduced at 1-3 to follow up that success in Heat 1. His nearest market rival is again Carrick Aldo. He was five lengths behind Bocko Diamond last week and is 4-1 to reverse that form.
March On Freddie, a litter brother to the outright favourite, is also a short price to maintain his unbeaten record. The UK raider has been installed the 4-5 market leader to win Heat 4. Tuono Charlie is seen as the main threat after a massive run behind Bockos Diamond in the second round. At 3-1, the powerful tracker will have plenty of support. A Lucky Julie and Grangeclare Lady come next in this contest at 5-1 and 6-1 respectively.
After a career best display last weekend, Ballinabola Jim has been introduced as the 5-4 favourite for Heat 5 despite the presence of Da Bold Falcon, Dynamic Force and Singalong Dolly. It’s further evidence of his incredible progression in recent months. Da Bold Falcon is his nearest rival in the market at 11-4.
