The Emerald Cup at Coventry looks a good 480m race...

...to start looking for value.

I've done 4 graphs of the greyhound performances over their last 6 or 7 runs on the Coventry track. Unfortunately a couple of dogs have made only one run which doesn't give us a lot to go on.

Anyway, I've assumed that three dogs from each heat will go through to make up the semi-finals.

You will have to enlarge the graphs to see the runs in greater detail but that should be easy enough to do.

I have chosen 3 from each heat that I have ranked as (A (B and (C in preference. See what you think ought to be 1st , 2nd and 3rd.

Heat 1 - I think that Bossmans Bridge and trap 6 Droopys Wells don't look to be in the ball park so I have discarded them. I have gone for (A Barnfield On Air in trap 1, (B Zig zag Dutchman trap 4 and (C Fear Armani trap 2.

Heat 2 -It's between ( A Centaur Trooper trap 3 and (B Bailiff Diesel trap 1.
(C Eye Onthe Veto is my 3rd choice - I think the distance is too short for it to win.

Heat 3 - This is a much too competitive a heat to call (look at the graph). If you are thinking of leaving out a heat this is it. My choice all the same is :-
(A Minnies Premier trap 6, (B Discreet Cat trap3 and (C Ronnies Champion trap 1. If I were to predict 4th it would be trap 5 Reagrove Roe. That's how close I rate it.

Heat 4 - If Well Tutored in trap 5 were to come back to good form it would be a force to be reckoned with but my selections are :- (A Cleenas Lady trap1, Iceman Ross in trap 6 and Well Tutored trap 5.

Overall reading the graphs points to Cleenas Lady to win the Emerald Cup outright.

I haven't any prices yet; the 4 heats are run at Coventry on Sunday. Let's see how far out I am. I'll let you know!

Come racing!!
