Today’s standout selection and our Dog Of The Day comes from the 20:13 race at Yarmouth, and the spotlight is firmly on the greyhound in trap two – Wrighty.
This talented dog arrives here in superb form and has an excellent chance of adding another win to his record.
Current Form and Race Analysis
Wrighty’s recent performances make for very encouraging reading. Last time out just over a week ago, on Saturday 1st November, he secured a commanding victory over this very same course and distance (462m). Breaking smartly from trap three, he raced to the front and never looked back, winning by a comfortable 1½ lengths in a good time of 27.50 seconds.
A closer look at his form lines shows that this wasn’t a one-off. He has now won two of his last three races at Yarmouth, demonstrating a real affinity for the track. His running style is that of a strong, early-paced dog who likes to get to the front, and from a favourable trap two draw today, he has a fantastic opportunity to secure the rail and control the race from the outset.
