Dunstall Park Monday 27 April 2026 - Greyhound Racing Tips
Dunstall Park in Wolverhampton hosts 12 races on Monday, 27 April 2026, with the first race at 11:01 and the final at 14:07 on its sand surface. The track's floodlit evening card promises consistent quality graded racing, with 480m the dominant distance across feature races.
Race 11:18 - Grade A5, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Keepers Nutty (D T Smith) - Form: 14642
- Trap 2: Swift Woozy (D T Smith) - Form: 21212
- Trap 3: Swift Emery (K Harrison) - Form: 41651
- Trap 4: Timahoe Rocky (S Deakin) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Shockwave Sirius (K Harrison) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Freedom Session (M T Field) - Limited data available
NAP: Swift Woozy, Trap 2. The four-year-old bitch has posted a superb recent sequence of 21212, including three wins in the last five runs. Her 15 April victory at A6 (1-length win) and 9 April A7 success (1ยพ lengths) show consistent form progression, and crucially she has been running rails-mid with early pace (Rls-Mid comment), which suits her tactical approach. Dunstall's 480m favours balanced runners who can settle mid-track, and Woozy's recent effort sheet suggests she has found her rhythm. Keepers Nutty is a danger, but Swift Woozy's recent sharpness edges it.
Race 11:52 - Grade A6, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Babbaloola (P Holder) - Form: 53636
- Trap 2: Malaika Queen (J Hall) - Form: 34141
- Trap 3: Mercia Thor (K Harrison) - Form: 223T3
- Trap 4: Pennys Mawu (G Ballentine) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Swift Wife (K Harrison) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Grey Dove (I Walker) - Limited data available
NAP: Malaika Queen, Trap 2. The three-year-old bitch shows an impressive recent record of 34141, including two recent wins (1 April and 23 March, both by 1 length and 1ยผ lengths respectively). She races from middle trap and has posted early pace and leadership marks (EP, Mid, ALd and LD1), suggesting she has the tactical speed to control from her draw. Her 1 April win was by exact distance at A5, demonstrating readiness for this A6 grade. Mercia Thor is well-credentialled with two recent seconds, but Malaika Queen's twin wins and her consistency at this level justify selection.
Race 12:59 - Grade A4, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Fastnet Force (J Hall) - Form: 12151
- Trap 2: Porthall Coco (N Slowley) - Form: 66364
- Trap 3: Shortwood Cloud (J Hall) - Form: 23434
- Trap 4: Tee Emgee Outlaw (S Deakin) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Headford Killian (S Deakin) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Dapper Chunky (I Walker) - Limited data available
NAP: Fastnet Force, Trap 1. The two-year-old dog has delivered consistent A4 form with a 12151 sequence, showing two wins from five starts. His 15 April second to favourite at A4 (1ยพ lengths back) demonstrates quality, and he clocked a win on 2 April (2ยพ lengths) from the same trap. Force has been running rails with early pace (Rls, EP comments), allowing him to lead into the bends, and his three career wins across D2 and D3 (sprint) grades show explosive early pace that translates well to 480m. Shortwood Cloud is consistent, but Fastnet Force's winning form from Trap 1 on a track that rewards clean early breaks gives him the edge.
Race 13:33 - Grade A3, 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Mercia Hades (K Harrison) - Form: 22T51
- Trap 2: Drombeg Abby (C A Gilbert) - Form: 12241
- Trap 3: Headford Tommy (S Deakin) - Form: 21
- Trap 4: Over Thebarpaddy (K Harrison) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Hiya Jimal (D T Smith) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Distant Grace (S Deakin) - Limited data available
NAP: Drombeg Abby, Trap 2. The one-year-old bitch has produced the strongest recent form in this A3 field with a 12241 record. Her 18 April win (head victory) at A4 was built on very strong running (VSAw, Mid, Fcd-Ck3, FnWll), meaning she caught the leading dog in the latter stages despite facing a crowding challenge at bend 3. Two consecutive seconds (9 and 3 April, both at A4) confirm form stability, and her move into A3 is opportune. Mercia Hades showed two recent seconds but a trap issue (T, 15 April) and a fifth-place finish the outing before, making her less reliable. Drombeg Abby's upward trajectory and recent win-form make her the clear choice.
Meeting Overview
