Greyhound of the year 2007, Spiridon Louis has been pulled out of the TV Trophy and in doing so has kinda pulled the plug on my ante-post preview.
Not that I was going to tip up Louis but the resulting shake up in the betting means the bet that I have already had no longer looks great value at the revised odds.
Flying Winner is the odds on favourite for the event and deservedly so but at the price I couldn't back her. The dog I have backed is Swift Jade who has been in great form lately and was staying on well behind Flying Winner in the Coral Regency. Over this extended trip she looks the value ... or rather she did at the 5/1 I took yesterday (each way). Thats all gone now unfortunately and I'm not sure I'd play at the now top priced 4/1. Another 'Swift' of interest is Michael Harris' Ninja who is available at 10/1 with Totesport which looks fair each way value. I'm sticking with Jade though and hope I've picked the right one.
Cheers
