Greyhound racing tips & selections: Friday May 25

BEST BET: My Mate Max (T2, 9.44 Romford) 

NEXT BEST: Droopys Dart (T5, 10.23 Romford)

TREBLE: Calco Flyer (T3, 10.01 Romford)

By Richard Wilson

It's open races all the way at Romford this evening to start the bank holiday weekend and we have three selections to try and get the next few days off to the best possible start.

Calco Flyer's (T3) winning run came to an abrupt end at Henlow 12 days ago at Henlow but a return to his favoured course and distance could spark improvement from Mark Wallis' charge at 10.01.

The four-year-old has been a great servant to the champion trainer over the last few years and he still looks to have plenty to give in this sort of company, with a bold showing expected now at a venue where he has been outside the top three just once in his last six starts.

The marathon dogs come to the fore at 10.23 and Droopys Dart (T5) led for much of the way against some of this opposition last time out before being caught down the home straight.

He might not get to the front as easily this time with a couple of added front-runners added to this week's field, and perhaps that will help Paul Young's charge to get a better toe into the race before making his move late on.

The nap on the card comes at 9.44 and My Mate Max (T2) is fancied to go very well after his eye-catching second at this venue last week.

He was close to a lifetime best with a 24.31 on that occasion for John Mullins despite being bumped at the first bend and this looks to be an ideal opportunity for him to strike.

The Kinloch Brae dog needed a run like that after some moderate efforts in recent weeks and could now be ready to return to the kind of form that saw him beat Golden Sprint winner Clondoty Alex earlier this year.
