Towcester Race 3 - The Star Sports & Orchestrate English Greyhound Derby 2026 Round 2 - Heat 10
DROOPYS BERRIES (4) broke the clock when winning over 500m at Towcester last start, taking a OR1 in a lightning 28.96. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. BALLYMAC IROKO (6) broke the clock when winning over 500m at Towcester last start, taking a OR1 in a lightning 28.86. In form and looks a leading player again. BALLYMAC KOBE (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and five minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at Towcester (28.71) in a OR1, finishing a head second. Makes strong appeal on best. KRANKY DRAKE (5) shapes well for this after finishing second but in a scintillating 28.85 last time. Can measure up.

Sound effort to finish second last start over 500m at Towcester (28.71) in a OR1. Boasts good form here at the journey with five wins and five minor placings from 12 tries. With even luck and a clean start he can sneak into the finish.
