Central Park Greyhound Tips – Tuesday 19 May 2026

Central Park in Sittingbourne, Kent hosts a 12-race card tonight from 18:14 to 21:23 across a sand surface. This is a busy evening of competitive A-grade racing with four feature races at the standard 491m trip.

18:31 – Grade A3 491m

Relevance catches the eye in Trap 4. This three-year-old dog trained by B O’Sullivan has returned to form consistently in recent weeks with four second-place finishes from his last five runs, including two at this exact grade. More importantly, Relevance finished second in back-to-back A3 races on 28 April and 21 April, showing he is perfectly suited to this level. The dog has raced from middle traps throughout recent form and handles this position well. With Trap 4 recording a solid 25% win strike rate at Central Park over 491m in the last 60 days, Relevance is ideally placed. NAP: Relevance, Trap 4.

19:06 – Grade A1 491m

Mineola Peerless in Trap 1 is the standout choice here. This three-year-old from S Mavrias’ kennel won this exact race and grade just five days ago on 12 May, finishing 2nd by only 2.25 lengths before that. More tellingly, he captured the A1 at Central Park on 13 April by 2.25 lengths, demonstrating genuine A1 class. Although Trap 1 carries only an 18% recent win rate at this distance, Mineola Peerless has proven consistent from this draw, with three runs at Central Park from Trap 1 across A1 races. His form string reads consistently: recent finishes show 2-4-3-1-3, indicating he stays competitive at the top grade and can win on his day. NAP: Mineola Peerless, Trap 1.

20:47 – Grade A2 491m

Ocean Summer in Trap 2 offers excellent value at A2 level. This young bitch trained by R Emery has won three of her last five races, including a narrow success at A3 grade on 28 April where she held on by a whisker. More recently she posted back-to-back seconds on 12 and 5 May, both at A2 grade, losing by minimal distances (1.5 and 1 length respectively). The pattern shows a dog hitting top form at exactly this grade. Trap 2 has recorded a 21% strike rate at Central Park over 491m, and Ocean Summer’s middle-trap runs suggest she settles and travels well. Her quick-away tendency (EP, Rls-Mid notes throughout) means she gets a clean passage from the traps. NAP: Ocean Summer, Trap 2.

21:23 – Grade A1 491m

King Deano from Trap 1 edges the selection despite inconsistent recent form. This two-year-old trained by G Andreas delivered a commanding performance on 20 April, winning by six lengths in A1 company at this track and distance. That victory was built on early pace (Rls, EP, ALd notes) and a clear break into the race. Whilst recent form shows some struggling finishes including a 5th on 14 May, that longer form line is promising. At A1, the quality bar is high, but King Deano has proven he belongs here. Limited data on some rivals in this race (Ballydoyle Swift, Glenhead Tom, Droopys Samara) makes form comparison difficult, but King Deano’s single A1 win gives him an edge. Trap 1 is only 18% strike rate at this track, but his 20 April performance suggests he can overcome that bias. NAP: King Deano, Trap 1.
