Towcester Race 5 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 19
GARFINEY WARRIOR (2) flew the lids off the inside draw with a sensational early split last time and gave a sight, finishing a half a length second (29.08) over 500m at Towcester. Unbeaten from this box in two starts. Leading chance again. DROOPYS SORT (3) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (28.81) behind Howay Tonali at Sheffield. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Deserves a win and gets his chance. KELLIES EMERALD (1) is better than last start when fourth (30.51) in an A1 at Nottingham over 500m. Expected to feature in the finish. DROOPYS DEPLOY (6) looks a top-three chance while fresh.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten half a length (29.08) in a OR over 500m at Towcester. Forgive the latest result. Looks hard to beat this time.
