Got a bit of time so just wanted to run through a few for the 3rd round.

Heat 3 Whoops Jack is the fav and has obvs run well in winning its two heats but at 3.25 I like to keep Sporting Dave onside. Can match Jack for pace out the traps and has a slower starter in t4 and in general seems a stronger dog than any Jack has beaten in previous heats. I think Dave traps, clears t4 and doesn't get caught. I thought the prices would have been reversed so I was happy to see Dave 2nd fav here. Ive had 4pts Win @ 3.25. (Tried boosting this price with hills but it boosted to the same price, they know!)

Heat 7 Borna Gin gets the nod from me ahead of Biker. Buckley cant be to happy that they drew the same heat but Biker has to contend with the fast breaking Innocent times in t5 and while they are having a tussle im hoping t3 Borna has cleared t2 Shaneboy Freddie and the strong running dog can just run on and take the race, I know Buckley thinks Biker is his dog that will win the whole thing but ive liked what ive seen with Borna Gin so far and think this draw is better for him, at 3.5 im happy to have him onside. 4 pts win.

Obvs i dont like to not take the best prices but i want the double as well so have done Sporting Dave and Borna Gin@ 10.5 with Coral for 2 pts win, 11.38 is available with laddies if you can bet with them. Im also looking for a Vegas winning Accum in case i dont qualify with next door on 27th, ill report back when i decide.

All firms havent priced up yet but seeing as they all copy each other anyway i cant see  the prices being any bigger. If so i might go in again. Exciting times, goodluck all.

Someone put me off having a lump on Wildcat at 1/4!!!!  How the hell does it get beat?  It could fall out and still lead these up.

Haha, I know, just one of those times where it has everything in its favour, nice heat, withdrawn dog in trap next door, fav trap. Not much to go wrong is there.

Any thoughts on Bull Run Button, scotty? finally gets trap 1 which from what I’ve read connections are very pleased with. Is in one of the tougher heats hence the price but there is a chance of trouble 2/3/4/5 and if she slots behind she may get a run if missing an bunching at the 1st. Of course on the times she has some to make up and Bombers is in red hot from. In fact after writing this out it’s probably a watching brief, Bombers at 7/4 could look like a good price once the race has finished but so much potential for a first bend pile up.

Heat #4 is on paper a match between Bruiser's and Brandy with the former a firm favourite on all known form.

I just have a feeling that Brandy is a very jealous dog when he gets on the bunny and might take a little more passing than bare times indicate should he lead at the bend.

I don't think I'll be playing as am on both AP  but 365's 5/2 Brandy(now 9/4) was looking quite tempting.

Agreed that Brandy was the better bet.

Absolute no clue on the race. Have read it about 4 different ways. Black Zack isn't without a chance either. I'm on 1-4 AP with 2 the smallest winner by far so I'd like a 4,3,1 finish. Ta.

Haven’t had a bet on the race but couldn’t believe it when I saw that 5/2 with b365, such a good price. That being said Wallis is confident that Bruisers is peaking and I think them being next to each other will make a difference compared to last week and when Brandy beat Wildcat when in both cases their was one in between them, of course it’s considered that Brandy is better off inside Bruisers and if it was the other way round I could see BB being 5/4. Whatever happens if both could get top 3 that would be great.

So excited, can’t what for tonight, if I was feeling better I would have gone but I’m just having to focus on getting there next week.

I actually like the look of a couple of trap 1’s tonight, Honour Turbo at a price and Droopys Dresden who opened at 5.0 earlier in the week and there has been money for. Will mull it over and decide later.

I wish Towcester wasn't such a pain to get to and from (~4 hours round trip from Nottm.) as this is probably the best night's racing of the year quality-wise.

Fred have a tasty double on Bombers and Bruisers both to win at 8.5, I have had myself some of that. Next closest is Laddies at 7.52. Its under derby specials as they have taken down their normal markets and according to oddschecker they would have the double at 8.29.

It's 70 miles and 75 mins straight down the M1.  Couldn't be an easier drive if you wanted it to be.  Even off the m1 its dual carriageway all the way to Towcester and free to get in.

Bit of a move for Brandy who has gone fav, 3.0 avaliable on Bruisers, if he gets any bigger I may have to have a bet.

Jaytee Taylor looks the be out as well so King Elvis race is 5 runner.

Any drive which takes over an hour - even to go and play golf - is now a pain for an old git such as I.

In other news I quite like the make up of Bit View Knight, and combined with a boosted 11/1 felt forced to dabble in the last heat of the evening.

When Brandy was 5/2 earlier you could still get 15/8 Bruiser's in a couple of spots which was tempting to dutch.
