BOYLE Sports Irish Greyhound Derby Quarter-Final Heat Tips

Cheap Sandwiches

Heat 1

1 Priceless Romeo - 8/1

2 Lennies Dream  – 6/1

3 Callaway Five – 12/1

4 Unanimous Leo – 11/2

5 Cheap Sandwiches (w) – 1/2

6 Droopys Deploy (w) – 14/1

Tip

Following a few shock eliminations and withdrawals in the last week, Cheap Sandwiches has assumed the role as the outright favourite for the competition and will go off as a heavy favourite for Heat 1 of Quarter-Final Night.

I’ll be looking for more value, though, and if Lennies Dream can ping from traps again, I think he’s the value play here.

Ballymac Stud

Heat 2

1 Magical Mag – 2/1

2 Happy Jet – 14/1

3 Ballymac Stud – 11/8

4 Shanahee Boomer – 9/4

5 Blastoff Heffo – 16/1

6 Tarsna Maasai (w) – 33/1

Tip

The second heat of the quarter-finals looks to be a very open affair with only roughly 20 spots separating the “slowest” to “fastest” on the clocks here. Blastoff Heffo at a huge price is worthy of traction, but will need to trap better from a difficult draw for the inside seed.

Shanahee Boomer is the one I like, as this early-paced dog has quietly flown under the radar for Cork-based trainer Kieran Lynch.

Proper Heiress

Heat 3

1 Proper Heiress – 8/11

2 Singalong Curly  - 5/1

3 Phoenix Memphis  – 33/1

4 Cheque For Cash– 5/1

5 Glengar Silent (m) – 4/1

6 Magical Sapphire (w) - 12/1

Tip

Leading UK hope Proper Heiress was exceptional in victory last weekend, firmly establishing himself as one of the leading players for the competition, and I think she will deliver again in this heat.

Singalong Curly’s early dash is worthy of note, too, at a bigger price.

De Lahdedah

Heat 4

1 Ballyhooly Bruno – 6/1

2 Barefoot On Song - 5/1

3 Oreo Ollie– 8/1

4 De Lahdedah – 11/8

5 Rural Pest (m) – 4/1

6 Coosane Pickles (w) -5/1

Tip

Ballyhooly Bruno continues to qualify for trainer Tom O’Neil, and the likes of youngsters Oreo Ollie and Rural Pest should have plenty of improvement in them.

I can’t look past veteran campaigner De Lahdedah , who, despite some of the high-profile exits, is still not getting the traction his chances deserve.
