Dunstall Park Greyhound Tips – Thursday 11 June 2026
Dunstall Park’s sand circuit hosts 12 races across the afternoon and early evening, with the first at 14:29. Wolverhampton’s floodlit venue is known for producing decisive form on the all-weather surface, and today’s card spans grades A2 through A4 over the standard 480m trip. Trap 1 dominates the recent statistics at 35% win rate over the last 60 days, a significant edge that will shape early selections.
14:48 – Grade A2, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scooby Pacemaker | 4y D | R Short | 551 |
| 2 | Avarua Flight | 3y D | R Williams | 242 |
| 3 | Ashtons Ernie | 2y D | S Deakin | 141 |
| 4 | Mayahs Ace | 1y B | R Short | No form |
| 5 | Olive Oyl | 3y B | J Hall | No form |
| 6 | Kingdom Bucks | 2y D | D T Smith | No form |
This is the day’s strongest race, and form reading points clearly to recent winners and consistency at track. Scooby Pacemaker (Trap 1, trainer R Short) has mixed form recently with a 55241 record, but his win at this grade on 21 May suggests class capability. However, Ashtons Ernie (Trap 3, trainer S Deakin) provides the standout value. The 2-year-old has posted 14124 over five starts, including a decisive win on 4 June over A2 company at this track and distance. He led from the middle gates and held on convincingly by 2 lengths. A younger dog gaining experience at the right grade, with back-to-back form wins, he looks primed for another bold display.
Avarua Flight (Trap 2, trainer R Williams) drops down from A1 after recent 2-4-2-2 placings and remains competitive, but Ashtons Ernie’s recent acceleration and inside-trap draw (Trap 3 at 21% win rate) make him the NAP. NAP: Ashtons Ernie, Trap 3.
16:41 – Grade A3, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Porthall Finn | 2y D | N Slowley | 661 |
| 2 | First Ambition | 1y D | J Rigby | 125 |
| 3 | Breezer | 2y D | R Lambe | 521 |
| 4 | Southwind Ned | 3y D | R Williams | No form |
| 5 | Lynnia Murphy | 3y D | M T Field | No form |
Porthall Finn (Trap 1, trainer N Slowley) offers classic appeal here: a rails runner with a winning form line at this exact grade just three weeks ago (1 June, winning by 6.25 lengths). However, his last two runs show 66, suggesting form regression. First Ambition (Trap 2, trainer J Rigby) has been highly consistent, posting 12524 across five starts and notching a recent win on 4 June at A4 by 2.5 lengths before running a narrow second. The 1-year-old shows the sharpest recent form and, from Trap 2 (15% win rate but solid consistency platform), he remains a live proposition.
Breezer (Trap 3, trainer R Lambe) won at A4 on 14 May but has shown volatility (recent 51242 streak), and his recent Nottingham run over 500m ended fifth. First Ambition’s consistency and upward trajectory make him the standout. NAP: First Ambition, Trap 2.
16:59 – Grade A4, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Detroit Blu | 1y D | D T Smith | 411 |
| 2 | Signet Delight | 2y B | S Deakin | 343 |
| 3 | Timahoe Rocky | 2y D | S Deakin | 326 |
| 4 | Over Thebarpaddy | 4y D | K Harrison | No form |
| 5 | Cross Keys Maggy | 4y B | P Holder | No form |
| 6 | Lynnia Mick | 2y D | M T Field | No form |
Detroit Blu (Trap 1, trainer D T Smith) is the class act on paper: a 1-year-old with a 14121 record showing two wins and a second from his last three starts. His winning form on 27 May and 20 May, both from the inside trap at this grade and distance, plus a recent 4th on 4 June, suggest he remains well-placed. Trap 1 carries the 35% strike rate advantage, and Detroit Blu’s rails-running style (Rls, Ld1/4 notations) suits the profile perfectly.
Timahoe Rocky (Trap 3, trainer S Deakin) has posted 32621 and is consistent, but Detroit Blu’s superior winning record and trap draw edge are decisive. NAP: Detroit Blu, Trap 1.
17:37 – Grade A4, 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Porthall Coco | 3y B | N Slowley | 243 |
| 2 | Da Rocky | 2y D | R Short | 512 |
| 3 | Moulton Melanie | 1y B | M T Field | 111 |
| 4 | Swift Yellow | 1y D | P Holder | No form |
| 5 | Shes Got Style | 2y B | J Hall | No form |
| 6 | Millbank Got It | 1y B | K Harrison | No form |
Moulton Melanie (Trap 3, trainer M T Field) is in the form of her life. The 1-year-old has won three consecutive races: 1 June over A5, 28 May over A6, and 18 May over A7, all by 1 length or fewer. She’s now run down grades to A4 and, despite running fifth on 11 May at A7, has reversed that form spectacularly. Her most recent win on 4 June showed early speed (SAw, EP) and she led at the line, confirming readiness at this level. Porthall Coco (Trap 1) has a win at A4 but more recently 24313, suggesting stabilising form rather than acceleration.
Moulton Melanie’s three-win streak and downward-grading trajectory represent genuine momentum at the business end of the card. NAP: Moulton Melanie, Trap 3.
Meeting Overview
Today’s 12-race card is dominated by A2-A4 company, all run over 480m on sand. Trap 1 has been significantly overweight at 35% win rate in recent weeks, making inside runners genuine value in forecast and reverse-forecast markets. No staying or sprint races feature, so all selections rely on standard pace and tactical positioning.
Punters’ Note
Check starting prices 15 minutes before each race as odds firm across the key bookmakers: Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound markets. Forecast betting (1st and 2nd in order) is particularly popular at Dunstall Park on feature races. With Trap 1’s strong recent profile, consider reverse forecasts pairing inside runners with middle or outer traps to balance odds. Each-way is rarely used in greyhound racing given the 6-runner fields.
