Harlow Greyhound Tips – 13 May 2026
Harlow hosts 27 races across a full Wednesday card from 10:32 to 21:26 on its compact sand oval. The Essex venue’s tight bends and consistent trap bias data make form study essential, particularly on the 415m sprint trips that dominate the card.
13:03 – Grade A5 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Barntick Sydney | 4y D | D Whitton | 354 |
| 2 | Shesomethingels | 4y B | D Whitton | 111 |
| 5 | Royston Rocket | 3y D | P Clarke | 344 |
| 6 | Salems Sassenach | 2y D | S Clark | No form |
This A5 clash features three runners with recent 415m form at Harlow. Shesomethingels (Trap 2) has been in outstanding nick: wins in three of the last four outings, most recently defeating the field by half a length on 6 May in A6 grade. The mare led from trap 1 and 2 in both victories, showing she’s comfortable early and can hold off late challengers. She’s suited to this grade after stepping up from A6 and staying at the trip.
Barntick Sydney (Trap 1) has posted consistent podium finishes at A5 over 415m but lacks a win in five recent attempts. The dog’s form reads 3-5-4-3-3, showing resilience but no breakthrough. Royston Rocket (Trap 5) won at this distance and grade on 8 April but has since recorded 3-4-4 finishes, slipping form. Salems Sassenach (Trap 6) is a 2-year-old with no recent form data and enters as an unknown quantity despite trap 6’s strong 28 per cent win bias on the 415m at this venue.
NAP: Shesomethingels, Trap 2. Recent 415m wins, strong A5 record, and trainer D Whitton’s consistency favour the mare to land a third consecutive victory.
19:24 – Grade A5 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shockwave Sekani | 3y B | D Jinks | 321 |
| 2 | Swift Zaylee | 2y B | M Rice | 255 |
| 3 | Grouchos King | 3y D | P Rea | 112 |
| 5 | Hi Tonto | 3y D | D Jinks | No form |
| 6 | Rileys Daughter | 3y B | M Rice | No form |
Grouchos King (Trap 3) is in blistering form with back-to-back wins on 4 and 27 April at 415m and 238m respectively. The 3-year-old has won four of his last five outings and shows a pattern of leading from the front (Ld notation in four runs). His recent win on 4 May came from trap 3 in A5 grade over this exact distance, posting a comfortable 2.5-length margin. Trap 3’s 19 per cent strike rate at 415m is solid middle ground at Harlow.
Shockwave Sekani (Trap 1) has mixed A5 form: a win on 22 April in A6 followed by two place finishes. The recent 3-5-2 run shows inconsistency at this level. Swift Zaylee (Trap 2) is a 2-year-old with one win in five A5 outings, most recently second by a nose on 8 May, but her earlier form includes a bump-affected fifth on 1 May. Trap 1’s 20 per cent rate and trap 2’s 17 per cent both underperform the 415m average here. Hi Tonto (Trap 5) and Rileys Daughter (Trap 6) have no recent form data.
NAP: Grouchos King, Trap 3. Four wins in five, proven A5 performer, and recent 415m victory by 2.5 lengths make him the standout at this level.
10:48 – Grade A6 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kender | 2y D | P Vincent | 11-1 |
| 2 | Scarlett Galaxy | 3y B | P J Steward | 244 |
| 5 | Limestone Gal | 2y B | D Ellerker | 114 |
| 6 | Moaning Monster | 2y D | D Carter | No form |
Limestone Gal (Trap 5) has won three of her last five outings, including back-to-back victories on 8 May (A6, 415m) and 4 May (D4, 238m). The 2-year-old’s form reads 1-1-4-3-1 (most recent first), showing excellent recent acceleration. Her 8 May win came by 4.25 lengths with a very quick away and middle-path running style (VQAw, ALd, Mid-W notation). Trap 5 holds a 14 per cent strike rate here, below optimal, but her form edge is decisive.
Kender (Trap 1) is a 2-year-old winner on 6 May in A6 by half a length from trap 2, showing early promise. However, his record includes a non-arrival on 18 March and racing away from Harlow since January, raising form questions. Scarlett Galaxy (Trap 2) has recorded 2-4-4-4-3 finishes at A6 – consistent mid-pack form with no wins in five runs. Moaning Monster (Trap 6) has no recent data and is unexposed at this grade.
NAP: Limestone Gal, Trap 5. Three wins in five, recent A6 victory by 4.25 lengths, and explosive early pace make her the class act despite trap bias disadvantage.
12:29 – Grade A6 415m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Moaning Mccoist | 3y D | D Whitton | 332 |
| 3 | Browns Barbie | 2y B | P J Steward | 612 |
| 4 | Foxrock Alfie | 2y D | D Ellerker | 114 |
| 5 | Moaning Mojito | 2y B | D Whitton | No form |
| 6 | Bluehouse Bell | 2y B | S Clark | No form |
Foxrock Alfie (Trap 4) dominates this A6 field with three wins in his last five outings, including back-to-back victories on 8 and 4 May. The 2-year-old’s form reads 1-1-4-3-1, with recent A7 wins followed by this A6 step down. His 8 May victory came via leading and middle running (LdRnUp, Mid notation). Trap 4 shows a poor 9 per cent strike rate at 415m on Harlow’s data, but Foxrock Alfie’s class and momentum override positional disadvantage.
Moaning Mccoist (Trap 2) has recorded 3-3-2-2-3 at A6, showing competitive form but no breakthrough wins across five A6 outings. The dog was second twice in April but lacks the recent acceleration of Foxrock Alfie. Browns Barbie (Trap 3) has just one win in her last five runs and dropped to A7 grade recently, suggesting she’s found A6 tough. Moaning Mojito (Trap 5) and Bluehouse Bell (Trap 6) have no recent form data available.
NAP: Foxrock Alfie, Trap 4. Three wins in five, consecutive victories on 8 and 4 May, and proven A6 class trump the unfavourable trap draw.
Check Starting Price moves from 18:00 on race day via Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, or William Hill. Forecast and reverse forecast markets offer value across Harlow’s feature races, particularly where recent form shows pace-setting ability from wider traps. Wednesday’s 27-race card spans A5-A6 grades exclusively at 415m, making trap draw and early-race positioning critical to outturns.
