Emilys set to star at Pelaw again with Lennie Saturday's best bet
EMILYS SUPERSTAR should be a lot sharper for her four-bend return to action last week and Glenn Foot's bitch can open her account for the year by taking Star Pelaw's 8.48 over 590m.
She won nine of her first ten over the trip before coming unstuck in semi and final of the Stewards' Cup and has subsequently had two months then one month off.
In the wars early over the shorter distance last week, she had a good blow all the same and should be a different proposition against the type of rival she meets this evening.
The Star Pelaw open action starts with a 435m contest at 6.43 in which Foot's Abbeyside Crypto appeals.
Ted Soppitt's Sunnyside Jayden can quickly build a winning lead in the 7.34 over 435m, the the handler fancied to treble up with Sunnyside Ted, who should prove too good for some old foes in a 245m sprint at 7.48, and Sunnyside Cairo who can take a later two-bend division at 8.32.
There are five opens on Oxford's bumper 15-race evening card with Adam Sear's My Lennie fancied to regain the winning thread in a 253m sprint at 6.04.
He has three recent winners to beat but this is a huge drop in class for a greyhound who normally keeps the very best company and he can take full advantage.
Sear's Mr Flashy impressed seven days ago and can complete a double for the trainer in the 8.43 over 450m.
Kevin Hutton is invariably amongst the open winners at home base although his Venetian Mick suffered a shock odds-on reverse seven days ago.
He meets the two greyhounds who outstayed him on that occasion, Alright Patricia and Resonate, once again in the 7.31 over 650m and is taken to last home this time albeit he is not one to take a crazy short price about.
Hutton can also score with Jazzy Belle (8.26) and Droopys Doris (9.01).
Doncaster has a morning/evening double-header with Ricky Overton's Azeman (12.04) capable of completing an A2 hat-trick, while Sue Watson's Reenaderry Road (7.42) can land a fifth straight B2 success.
At Youghal, Erica Hanrahan's Johnstown Adam can make all in an A5 stakes heat at 3.22, with Bernadette Connolly's Carefree Rocky (2.26) an earlier fancy.
