Hove Greyhound Tips for Saturday

Here are the latest greyhound betting tips for Saturday's gala night of racing, featuring two big finals, from Racing Post tipster Dave Clark.

The £20,000 Regency and £10,000 Sussex Cup deciders headline the star-studded 12-race card down the south coast, which promises to be one of the best meetings of the year.

Saturday's Hove Greyhound Betting Tips and Odds

18:42 Hove - Candolim Monsoon @ SP
20:07 Hove - Uncle Freddie @ 14/1
20:41 Hove - Cooladerry Dust @ 7/4

18:42 Hove - Candolim Monsoon @ SP

Derek Knight's 2023 Sussex Cup champion CANDOLIM MONSOON was nursed back from injury by his talented handler and has returned to action with all his top-class ability intact.

After eight months off due to a broken shoulder, the speedster dazzled in the opening round of this year's Sussex Cup before being eliminated last week, and this is a great chance to bounce back to winning ways.

On Saturday night he is nicely drawn down the middle in trap three, from where he breaks best, and fireworks are expected in the Sussex Cup consolation.

Seamus Cahill's Never Say So is a big danger on the inside, but can't match Candolim Monsoon for early speed to the opening turn and the selection is strongly fancied to make all.

At a huge price, Belinda Green's Joes Sagar is the only seeded dog out in trap five with four railers to his left, and he is worth including for the forecast as he sees out the 515m trip well.

20:07 Hove - Uncle Freddie @ 14/1

The market for the £10,000 Sussex Cup revolves around the inside duo of St Leger champion Droopys Clue, who is the clear favourite, and 2023 Derby runner-up Romeo Command.

Both are top-class and are the quickest lining up, but the draw has worked out treacherously for both with the possibility of early crowding.

The latter raced from trap one in his semi-final last week and notably steered away from the inside and into the middle of the track. He again dons the red jacket of one and is likely to cause problems for the jolly if trapping well.

At the prices, the fact the inside duo could tangle is more than enough encouragement for punters to look elsewhere for a spot of value and they should look no further than local hope UNCLE FREDDIE in trap four.

The Richard Rees-trained tracker has fine all-round speed and really caught the eye staying on in his semi-final, showing he is very strong over the 515m trip.

If able to keep tabs on leaders, he can play a big role at a tasty price and is worthy of an each-way interest. At the 14/1 available he is one of the best plays on the 12-race card.

20:41 Hove - Cooladerry Dust @ 7/4

The £20,000 Regency is one of the most lucrative staying races of the year and this year's renewal is strongly fancied to go the way of the unbeaten favourite.

After heats and semi-final, Nathan Hunt's COOLADERRY DUST is the only finalist boasting an unblemished record and he can maintain that on Saturday night.

Racing room is likely to be at a premium on the inside around the opening two turns with four railers lining up, only further enhancing the already clear claims of the jolly.

Blessed with smart early speed and huge middle pace, the selection can hit the front with a lap to go before piling on the pressure and going beyond recall.

Forecast punters should also have an interest in TV Trophy runner-up and Dorando Marathon heroine Ballymac Taylor weaving her way through rivals late on to bag the forecast.
