Towcester Race 6 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 R1 - Heat 20

STRIKE IT SKYE (2) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in five starts, including four wins. Missed the frame latest (30.52) when fourth over 515m at Hove in a OR1. With a clean break looks hard to beat. DROOPYS TRADE (3) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from five starts. Missed the frame latest (29.24) when fourth over 480m at Dunstall Park in a OR1. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HACKNEY CORNER (4) scored by 9 lengths last time (30.78) in an AA0 over 526m at Shelbourne Park. Has already won five times from this trap. Looks well placed here and among the chances. ADVANTAGE RULE (6) will be hard to beat despite making his debut at this circuit.

Good effort to score last start by 3 lengths over 660m at Dunstall Park in 40.41, beating Romeo Empire. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at Dunstall Park (29.24) in a OR1. Goes very well at this track and trip, including three wins. Has ability and is a key chance.
