kingdom derby semi finals

Tonight sees tralee host the two semi finals of the kingdom derby there has been a few shocks along the way as usual in this sweep and a lot of the hot pots have bitten the dust however we are still left with 12 good dogs in the semis
The first semi of the night looks on paper to be the best with with all of last weeks winners lining up;this one is definitely not one for punting in with all six in with a great chance,my personal preference would be for ballymac bull but his stamina is suspect like all ballymac maeves offspring and he will need to lead to win,one i would love to go on and see win it is evons murrali this fellas half owner died suddenly just before the q final and was in fact buried the night it was ran and it would be a poignant reminder if this fella could go on and win the final
A case really could be made for all the runners allmightyjack has great early pace in trap 1 but the trap draw could put paid to his chances,compass smash in 2 lacks early but will be finishing best of all,murralli in three can fly to the turn and if he leads it will take a good one to peg him back,ballymac bull is another who is very fast on the bunny but his stamina is suspect but again if leading will take catching;college finsceal goes from 5 and this lady defied the myth about trap 1 last week to run a binder to win and in 6 we have the mckenna trained bellmore ranger this fella impressed me greatly last week but has really got the toughest of the semi finals but i think he will be good enough to qualify
Onto the second semi final another wide open affair attakit admiral ran really well last week but has trap 1 to contend with,timothy gilbourne a man i bought a bitch off one time handles the 2 dog and has done well with him to qualify so far but this may be a step to far
Trap 3.... well what can i say about this fella there is no doubt in my mind he is by far the fastest dog left in the sweep but a look at his win to run ratio tells you a little about him if he puts his head down some night he ill do a massive run
Everybodysaid no runs from 4 this fella has been producing fast times in the earlier rounds but has yet towin a heat could tonight be the night?
In trap 5 we have compass honey this lady led last week and was picked up handy enough and for me i couldn't have her in this one
Trap 6 houses cashen zig for local owner and trainer chris houlihan and it would be great for the owner to add the kingdom derby to the achievements of winning the laurels in cork already this year and he could well run into a qualifying position but for me there is only one winner of this one in fermoyle honcho,hes dodgy but hes fast and not one for punting as i have learned to my cost there is a good class supporting card on the night sponsored by kathleen and domonic from greyhound and pet world in abbeyfeale and some quality racing is assured
