Doncaster Greyhound Tips – Saturday 13 June 2026
Doncaster hosts a strong 20-race card on Saturday, kicking off at 10:32 with a lively evening programme ahead. This Yorkshire sand circuit is known for reliable trap bias data, and with two feature races at contrasting distances, there’s real opportunity for punters who trust the stats.
10:32 – Grade B4 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ruffian Floss | 1y B | R Overton | 551 |
| 2 | Grouchos Sally | 1y B | R Overton | 232 |
| 3 | Sporting Moana | 2y B | S Watson | 353 |
| 5 | Jessicas Girl | 3y B | R Overton | No form |
| 6 | Glitter Ronnie | 3y D | D Calvert | No form |
A competitive B4 heat with solid recent form across the field. Ruffian Floss (Trap 1) earned a narrow win over this trip on 17 May when releasing cleanly from the rails, but has since struggled with two fifth-place finishes and a recent bump-and-fell at the same track. Grouchos Sally (Trap 2) has shown consistency: second at B4 on 6 June with a mid-rails run, and earlier form from Thurles suggests a dog capable of handling faster company. Sporting Moana (Trap 3) has been in the mix all season: three finishes from five runs at B4 450m, with placing finishes as recent as 6 June.
The trap draw favours Trap 4 at Doncaster 450m (27% strike rate over 52 days), but no runner occupies that draw here. That elevates the value of Trap 2 and 3 candidates. Grouchos Sally has recorded back-to-back placings at this grade and distance, and the mid-rails approach suits the sand surface. NAP: Grouchos Sally, Trap 2. Look for each-way value in forecast combinations pairing Sally with Sporting Moana.
10:48 – Grade B5 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Calgray Flyer | 3y D | S Birks | 424 |
| 2 | Pulleen Princess | 1y B | R Overton | 353 |
| 3 | Gethoffame | 3y B | D Calvert | 156 |
| 5 | Good Lossie | 1y B | D Calvert | No form |
| 6 | Posh Scart | 2y D | S Watson | No form |
Calgray Flyer (Trap 1) shows consistent rails work but has not won in five recent outings, with form reading 42344 over the past fortnight. Pulleen Princess (Trap 2) is younger and unsettled: two third-place finishes sandwiching slower runs suggest she remains a work in progress at B5. Gethoffame (Trap 3) caught the eye with a winning effort at B6 on 8 June when released mid-rails and leading into the first bend, but inconsistency is her hallmark: a sixth-place finish just 10 days earlier, and prior form scattered across grades.
This is a race where recent form tells a story of dogs struggling to maintain momentum. Gethoffame’s 8 June win is the sharpest recent effort in the heat, and while she lacks consistency, a dog that can lead at B6 is capable at B5. However, the absence of form data for Good Lossie (Trap 5) and Posh Scart (Trap 6) adds uncertainty. NAP: Gethoffame, Trap 3. The mid-rails tactic that delivered her win should suit again on the sand, provided she avoids the crowding that derailed her three days later.
11:04 – Grade D3 275m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Cockneys Elsa | 2y B | S J Lapidge | 113 |
| 3 | Reenaderry Girl | 2y B | S Birks | 323 |
| 4 | Slaneyside Tara | 2y B | R Overton | 234 |
| 5 | Tommys Flavour | 1y D | S Watson | No form |
| 6 | Cockneyloudmouth | 2y B | S J Lapidge | No form |
Sprint racing at Doncaster favours Trap 6 overwhelmingly (31% strike rate over 52 days). Cockneys Elsa (Trap 2) is in red-hot form: two wins from her last three outings, most recently landing a head victory on 6 June with a rails-to-middle run. She has won at this grade from Trap 2 twice in recent weeks, showing that while not in the optimal draw, her pace carries her through. Reenaderry Girl (Trap 3) has posted three placings from five runs at D3, including a head win on 16 May, but form is patchy: a missed break on 23 May cost her. Slaneyside Tara (Trap 4) has finished no better than second in five consecutive D3 sprints, and while quick away, lacks the finishing kick.
The trap bias data is stark: Trap 6 owns 31% of wins at 275m. Neither Tommys Flavour nor Cockneyloudmouth has form data, so Trap 6 represents an unknown quantity. Among the known runners, Cockneys Elsa is the form horse: two wins from three, and her rails-to-middle approach has delivered back-to-back victories. NAP: Cockneys Elsa, Trap 2. Her recent consistency outweighs the trap draw disadvantage; forecast her with Reenaderry Girl for each-way cover.
11:21 – Grade D2 275m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Tullycanna Lass | 2y B | S Watson | 116 |
| 3 | Millabbey Kitty | 1y B | R Overton | 461 |
| 4 | Glitter Alan | 3y D | D Calvert | 516 |
| 5 | Flosses Prada | 2y B | D Calvert | No form |
| 6 | Chelms Elaine | 4y B | R Overton | No form |
Tullycanna Lass (Trap 2) is returning from a win at D3 just six days ago, with a dominant rails-led success at Doncaster on 7 June. Her wider form from Waterford shows she has competed at A6-A7 level, and while that track is different, her class shines through. Millabbey Kitty (Trap 3) won a D3 sprint on 25 April when released middle and charging the bend, but her most recent run (6 June, D2) saw her finish fourth, crowded into the first bend. Glitter Alan (Trap 4) has oscillated between wins and last-place finishes: a win at D3 on 30 May was followed by a sixth-place defeat 12 days later.
Tullycanna Lass carries a recent D3 win into D2 company, and her rails-led approach is ideal for the 275m sprint. The form line is clean, her release is consistently sharp, and moving up one grade should not trouble her. NAP: Tullycanna Lass, Trap 2. She is the standout at this meeting and warrants a single stake on the nose in sprint racing where forecast markets are less reliable.
Meeting Overview
The card spans B4 through D2 grades, with two sprint races (275m) and two standard 450m heats across the four featured races. Saturday’s earlier races will include lower grades, offering punters variety from puppy form through to established D2 and B4 competition. Evening racing dominates, with the last race scheduled for 21:09.
Punters’ Note
Starting prices firm up 10-15 minutes before each race. Bet365, Betfair, and William Hill offer the most reliable greyhound markets at Doncaster. Forecast betting is popular on 450m races where field sizes are larger; on sprint races, favour single stakes on form horses over combinations. Check track conditions on the day, as sand racing can shift dramatically with overnight weather. Follow @BonusDevil for any last-minute non-runners or track updates.
