There is some cracking live greyhound action on Sky Sports 4 tonight at Romford. The big race of the night is the final of the Coronation Cup which sees the Russell Senior trained Rockview Sail as the odds on favourite following a scintillating performance in the semis. He defeated Judicial Academy by seven lengths in a time of 35.48secs, which was the fastest of the three semi final heats.
Coming out of trap one, the Derek Knight trained Rockin Roses was the winner of the second heat in 35.71, while Fatboyz Pacquiao managed to avoid all the trouble and seal victory in the final heat with a time of 35.76. Could he get a similar passage through in tonight’s final?
There are eight races live on Sky this evening with the action getting under way at 7.40pm.

Coronation Cup Tips
Rockview Sail looks like he’s going to be very hard to beat here. This dog holds a superb record at Romford with six wins from seven starts, should not be troubled by the draw and is versatile enough to come from off the pace and win. The race could work out well for Fatboyz Pacquiao in the six box and it would be no surprise to see this unexposed greyhound make up the forecast.
