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

BEST BET: Ballymac Florie (T3, 8.24 Hove)

NEXT BEST: Never Say No (T3, 6.42 Hove)

TREBLE: Joes Sagar (T4, 6.59 Hove)

The Coral News Years 515 Bitches Final takes centre stage at Hove on Thursday evening.

This is a competitive decider but there was plenty to like about the way Ballymac Florie (T3) ran last week, as she was beaten less than two lengths into second by Ballymac Kinga in the fastest heat.

Having won a six-bend open at Central Park with ease the time before, Maxine Locke's puppy has scope for plenty of improvement following that Hove debut and a bold bid is expected.

There are also two heats of the Coral 500 Standard Trophy on the menu at the Sussex Track and Never Say No (T3) can land the first instalment at 6.42.

Runner-up in a similar minor competition to this before a neck second last week, she was unlucky to lose out in a messy race last time and this consistent local looks the safest bet.

The winner of that contest seven days ago was Joes Sagar (T4) and he could be the one to side with in the second heat at 6.59.

The Belinda Green-trained dog should be finishing fast in search of a hat-trick and this in-form sort may be hard to hold with a clear run.
