Totesport Gold Collar final at Belle Vue tips

Bettingpro Staff - 19 Aug 2009

Jimmy Wright has enjoyed a sensational start to his training career and can pick up another big prize with Crown Rover in Thursday's Totesport Gold Collar final at Belle Vue.

The rookie handler is responsible for half the field in this 590m contest but it is his William Hill Grand Prix winner who looks a worthy favourite at 2/1 with Betfred to come out on top.
Crown Rover made it six wins from his last seven races when overcoming trouble at the fourth bend to beat kennelmate Hurleys Hero in the semis.

The latter set a new track record when taking the Cock O' The North final over 670m here in June but has just been found lacking for early toe over this shorter trip.

Wright also sends out another semi winner in East County but he is held by the jolly on heat form and the fast-improving Franks Lad is feared more from the six box.

Elsewhere on the Sky Sports card, Glenroe Ginger can get the better of Ardkill Tunoco in the Totesport Supports The Sport You Love stakes over 470m.

Barrie Draper's charge fluffed his lines at the boxes when second in the recent Peterborough Derby final but can gain some compensation at 7/4 with the sponsors with a slicker start here.
Plan is another who will relish donning the red jacket for the Bet on the Greyhounds at Totesport.com Stakes over the standard trip.

This consistent bitch has landed two of her last three races when drawing this box and boasts the same win ratio at Belle Vue, so 3/1 at bet365 looks fair value with some moderate starters outside.

In the Totesport - Top Dog for Greyhounds Stakes over 260m, Rotar Wing will be all the rage after setting new sprint track records at Peterborough and Yarmouth in recent weeks.
David Pruhs' puppy has reeled off five wins in his last six since switching to two bends and with former sprint kingpin Officer Donagh disappointing of late, 13/8 at bet365 will do for us.
