Central Park, Sittingbourne - Monday 27 April 2026
Central Park in Sittingbourne hosts 12 races across the afternoon and early evening, with the first race departing at 14:36. This Kent sand track is a consistent GBGB-licensed venue with competitive A-grade racing dominating the card.
Race 1: 14:54 | A1 | 491m
Runners:
- Trap 1: King Deano (G Andreas)
- Trap 2: Catch My Girl (D Brabon)
- Trap 3: Earls Jaguar (J Luckhurst)
- Trap 4: Im Afraid Not (G Andreas)
- Trap 5: Insane Bass (G Andreas)
NAP: King Deano, Trap 1. The form speaks volumes: three wins from his last five at Central Park A1 level, most recently beating the field by 6 lengths just six days ago. King Deano held the lead from the break in that victory (Rls, EP, ALd, DrewClr) and has shown consistent ability to settle into a rhythm early. Trap 1 suits his racing style, and at A1 grade he remains sharp. Catch My Girl is the main danger after her ยฝ-length win last time out, but King Deano's consistency across five consecutive A-grade runs makes him the pick.
Race 2: 15:13 | A2 | 491m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Tesseract (S Mavrias)
- Trap 2: Bumble Freds (D Brabon)
- Trap 3: Insane Drum (G Andreas)
- Trap 4: Joyces Wallander (N Carter)
- Trap 5: Harlequin Lizzie (B O'Sullivan)
- Trap 6: Waikiki Darren (S Mavrias)
NAP: Insane Drum, Trap 3. Recent form is impressive: a win four days ago at A3 (by ยพ) and a second placing at A1 some weeks prior. Insane Drum showed early pace and held on (Mid-Rls, Ld1) in that latest success. Although he encountered crowding trouble in his previous A2 outing (Bmp1, Crd3), the dog demonstrated tactical improvement and clear speed from the middle trap. Tesseract has solid A2 form but lacks the same recent momentum. Insane Drum's upward trajectory and proven ability to lead justify the pick here.
Race 3: 16:28 | A1 | 491m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Swift Youth (D Brabon)
- Trap 2: Coppice Lizzie (L E Morrison)
- Trap 3: Beach Time (T M Levers)
- Trap 4: Ghost Of Winter (L E Morrison)
- Trap 6: Woodys Wonder (J Luckhurst)
NAP: Swift Youth, Trap 1. Unbeaten in his last two starts at Central Park, including a narrow head victory at A1 just six days ago (Rls, Ld1/2, HldOn). The prior outing saw him win at A2 with a dominant display from the break. Swift Youth's ability to secure and hold the lead early is a key strength, and his Trap 1 draw suits his rails-running style. Beach Time showed some recent wins but has dropped form badly over his last two runs, suggesting he is struggling at A1 level. Swift Youth's consistency makes him the clear choice.
Race 4: 17:06 | A3 | 491m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Oi Oi John (D Brabon)
- Trap 2: Honey Cash (B O'Sullivan)
- Trap 3: Best Miney (B G Backhurst)
- Trap 4: Lemon Luna (B O'Sullivan)
- Trap 5: Waikiki Stone (S Mavrias)
- Trap 6: Coppice Gemini (L E Morrison)
NAP: Honey Cash, Trap 2. Two wins in his last five outings at Central Park A3/A4 level, showing strong early pace and a knack for settling into a lead (Rls-Mid, ALd, SnLd). His most recent A3 race came as a third-place finish, but prior to that he collected wins by ยฝ and 1ยฝ lengths respectively. Oi Oi John is limited by recent form across lower grades at Romford, while Best Miney's recent form is mixed and from outside tracks. Honey Cash's two wins at A3 grade at this track, combined with his mid-trap versatility, make him the most reliable pick in the race.
