Saturday's Monmore Greyhound Betting Tips and Odds

19:06 Monmore - New Destiny @ 4/11
19:22 Monmore - Droopys Aladdin @ 11/10
19:56 Monmore - Droopys Berries @ 5/4

19:06 Monmore - New Destiny @ 4/11

A multiple big-race champion, this staying star makes her return to competitive action over a trip she has had plenty of success over in the past.

Champion trainer Mark Wallis has a great record at Monmore and his Champion Stakes winner lines up in the opening heat of the Jim Woods Memorial Trophy with plenty in hand on the clock.

Her target in the coming weeks is to represent the kennel in the Trainers' Judgement Night (formerly known as the Trainers' Championship) at Perry Barr later this month, but this sharp six bends is a perfect stepping stone towards that.

Her freshness can help her out of the boxes and once in command she simply will not be for catching.

Early pace can win the race in the opening PGR Puppy Derby semi-final. Mike Burton's precocious speedster was a smart winner off the front in his first-round heat and more of the same is expected on Saturday night.

The switch off the rail into trap two may help with trapping and once his paws hit the sand he possesses sensational early pace.

The presence of the Mark Wallis-trained Rackethall Brute tucked away on the inside in trap one will make the market for the blue jacket selection.

Rackethall Brute was quickest on the clock in the first round last week and comes home really strongly, making him a must-include for forecast and tricast punters.

Away and gone tactics for Droopys Aladdin can work again and, should he qualify as expected and bag a pitch near the rail again in the £20,000 final, he will prove very tough to beat.

19:56 Monmore - Droopys Berries @ 5/4

Kevin Hutton's youngster still contests outright favouritism for the £20,000 PGR Puppy Derby despite a surprise defeat in the opening round last week.

A moderate start last weekend made life difficult for the talented pup, who was having just his second career start, but he battled on nicely and again showed plenty of promise.

His debut success to reel in Droopys Aladdin last month was an exceptional effort and a similar run here will see him go marching on into next weeks final.

Winning the battle to the bend with Droopys Invent, who is drawn on his inside in trap one is the key. That rival isn't the most consistent at lids-rise and the door will be open for the selection to take control.

Romford raiders Headford Dane and Bowmers Wildcat have both shaped with promise and see out the trip well, and they are both in contention for the other qualification spot.
