Harlow Greyhound Tips – Friday, 12 June 2026
Harlow hosts a busy 28-race card on Friday, with the compact Essex sand oval offering tight-turning racing that rewards early pace and trap awareness. First race down at 10:32, last at 21:26.
12:46 – Grade A5, 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Salems Campari | 1y B | S Clark | -112 |
| 3 | Moaning Hagler | 2y D | D Whitton | 121 |
| 4 | Da Danna | 2y B | S Clark | 144 |
| 5 | Salems Sassenach | 2y D | S Clark | No form |
| 6 | Blackheath Charm | 3y B | D Whitton | No form |
Salems Campari holds strong recent form at this track and grade, with wins in three of his last five outings. His most recent assignment on 22 May at Harlow in Trap 1 resulted in an unavailable finish, but prior to that he recorded a decisive 4.75-length win from Trap 3 on 15 May and a 1.75-length victory from Trap 1 on 1 May. Trainer S Clark knows the Harlow circuit well. The dog shows consistent rails-running ability (Rls in comments) and handles the 415m distance comfortably. Moaning Hagler has won two of his last three races at this grade, including a recent 1.25-length success on 3 June from Trap 4, but he has been tried over hurdle distances (238m) in May with mixed results, suggesting stamina for the standard trip is the preference. Da Danna won her most recent outing on 5 June from Trap 3 by three lengths at A6, but that represents a step down in class and her recent form at Yarmouth A3 level shows she struggled on the bigger track. Trap bias at 415m heavily favours Trap 6 (28% strike rate), but neither Blackheath Charm nor Salems Sassenach have recent form data available.
NAP: Salems Campari, Trap 1. His winning form, experience at Harlow, and consistent rails-running profile make him a solid favourite despite the trap bias favouring wider gates.
18:46 – Grade A5, 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stonepark James | 1y D | P Rea | 142 |
| 2 | Glenvale Sasha | 2y B | S Saberton | 112 |
| 3 | Fortunate Rose | 4y B | S Saberton | 12-1 |
| 5 | Barrington Chap | 1y D | D Ellerker | No form |
| 6 | Valley Rockstar | 2y B | D Ellerker | No form |
Stonepark James carries excellent form credentials into this race, with four wins in his last five starts all from Trap 1. His most recent victory came on 5 June (ยพ length) at A6, preceded by a close second on 20 May at this exact grade and trap. Trainer P Rea has him firing consistently. Glenvale Sasha broke the A5 duck with a commanding 1.5-length win from Trap 2 as recently as 8 June and backed that up with an A6 win on 1 June, also from Trap 2. She shows strong leading form (Ld2, Rls-Mid in recent comments) and is clearly peaking. Fortunate Rose won narrowly on 3 June from Trap 3 (nk) at A6 but suffered an unavailable finish on 13 May at A5, making consistency questionable at this grade. Trap bias at 415m shows inside traps (1-2) holding 20% and 17% respectively, roughly level with Trap 3 at 19%, so no overwhelming draw advantage for Stonepark James despite his Trap 1 wins.
NAP: Stonepark James, Trap 1. Consistent winning form at this grade, proven at Harlow from this draw, and trainer confidence make him the standout selection despite mild trap bias elsewhere.
19:58 – Grade A5, 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shockwave Sekani | 4y B | D Jinks | 231 |
| 2 | Headford Musk | 1y D | S Saberton | 335 |
| 4 | Spring Thing | 3y B | S Saberton | 114 |
| 5 | Miss Margaret | 2y B | D Ellerker | No form |
| 6 | Baggins Lad | 3y D | D Jinks | No form |
Spring Thing has assembled superb recent form with two wins in his last three outings, including a 3.5-length A6 victory from Trap 3 on 8 June and a 1.5-length A6 win from Trap 4 on 29 May. His comments read positively (Crd&Ld3, ALd, W4, Mid) and he is clearly a horse in form. Shockwave Sekani holds respectable A5 credentials with two wins in his last five races and shows strong rails-running consistency. His 1-length victory on 13 May and ยพ-length win on 20 May both came from middle-to-inside traps and show he handles Harlow well, but his most recent outing on 3 June finished second, suggesting momentum may be with Spring Thing. Headford Musk has recorded three third-place finishes in his last four A5 runs from Trap 2 but has bumped multiple runners in recent races (Bmp3&4, Fcd-Ck comments), indicating some traffic issues. Miss Margaret and Baggins Lad lack recent data. Trap 6 shows the strongest statistical edge at 28%, but neither Miss Margaret nor Baggins Lad offer form visibility.
NAP: Spring Thing, Trap 4. His recent winning sequence at A6 and consistent performance from this trap make him best value, with clear leading style suiting the Harlow layout.
11:38 – Grade A6, 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blue Gemstone | 4y D | P J Steward | 235 |
| 2 | Old Fort Rinty | 3y D | P Clarke | 444 |
| 3 | Paradise Liberty | 2y B | S Clark | 224 |
| 4 | Cofam Spurs | 2y B | D Hurlock | No form |
| 6 | Fenview Taylor | 4y D | P J Steward | No form |
Blue Gemstone shows typical A6 form with a second-place finish on 5 June (3 lengths) and a third on 1 June (ยพ length), but a 12.25-length fifth on 25 May and an unavailable finish on 15 May suggest inconsistency. Paradise Liberty returned two second-place finishes, including a narrow half-length loss on 3 June from Trap 3, indicating she is knocking on the door at this grade. She also shows competence at sprint distances (238m) with a shadow-beaten second on 22 May. Old Fort Rinty has struggled recently with four consecutive fourth-place finishes across A5 and A6 grades, most recently 4 lengths back on 5 June. Cofam Spurs and Fenview Taylor offer no recent form data. Trap 6 bias (28%) favours Fenview Taylor but without form visibility this remains speculative.
NAP: Paradise Liberty, Trap 3. Her narrow recent second and consistent placing profile suggest an imminent win at this grade, and the tight A6 field offers realistic winning chances.
