Thursday's free greyhound racing tips and selections for latest BAGS and live TV action across UK

Best Bet: Clonroosk Sydney (T2, 8.19 Newcastle)

Next Best: Slingshot Sam (T5, 8.54 Newcastle)

Treble: Sunnyside Termo (T4, 7.44 Newcastle)

Four open races are on the menu at Newcastle this evening and, in the ARC Standard at 8.19, it could pay to keep on the right side of Clonroosk Sydney (T2).

Since joining Savva Roberts, this July '21 dog hasn't seen much competitive action following some eye-catching performances last season in Ireland, notably when runner-up in the Irish Derby Consolation 550 behind the speedy Trinity Junior.

Never sighted in the Derby first round at Towcester, he was far superior in a A2 romp on his comeback six days ago and that run looks sure to have blown away any cobwebs.

Slingshot Sam (T5) took the notable scalp of Wicky Ned in the Northern Flat semi-finals before being beaten by that classy rival following a troublesome passage in the decider.

He has remained at the top of his game since that reversal and a 28.46 victory last time makes this imposing individual the one to beat in the 8.54.

After displaying plenty of promise in his native Ireland, Sunnyside Termo (T4) hit the ground running for his new kennel with two wins over this 480m.

Ted Soppitt's charge was subsequently out of his depth in a heat of the Classic at Sunderland, but a recent 28.62 (calculated) trial spin indicates that this relatively unexposed dog can make his presence felt at 7.44.
