Harlow Greyhound Tips – Friday, 15 May 2026

Harlow Greyhound Stadium hosts 28 races on Friday across a full card starting at 10:32, with the last race scheduled for 21:26. This compact Essex oval with tight bends demands respect for trap draw advantage, particularly at the 415m distance where the track’s recent data shows a pronounced bias towards the wider traps.

19:24 – Grade A5, 415m

Tinks Jester arrives in exceptional form after back-to-back wins at this grade. The three-year-old dog has won two of the last three races at Harlow’s 415m trip, including a dominant display on 1 May when leading from the run-up and holding on by 5½ lengths. Most recently, on 8 May, Tinks Jester won from Trap 4, forcing the leader early and bumping into the top spot at the third bend before holding sway. The trainer S Saberton has this dog sharp and competitive against similar-graded rivals.

Coolemore Azzabi, trapped on the inside at 1, showed promise with a win on 24 April but has since finished fifth at A4 grade on 8 May. The two-year-old colt’s recent form suggests the step back to A5 is timely, though Trap 1 carries only a 20% win strike on this track over 21 days, making the outside draw less favourable than middle or wider traps.

NAP: Tinks Jester, Trap 3. Recent wins at this exact distance and grade, proven ability to lead and sustain advantage, and a trainer in form. Forecast appeal in reverse forecast markets given the depth of the field.

11:21 – Grade A6, 415m

Cofam Spurs has shown steady improvement through the A6/A7 grades and landed a narrow victory on 1 May at A7, leading throughout from the middle stages. The two-year-old bitch has backed that up with placed efforts, including a second on 11 May when challenging hard down the home straight. Form reads 23121 across the last five runs, indicating consistency and upward trajectory. Trainer D Hurlock has worked this dog through the grades methodically.

Moaning Allora, consistently racing from Trap 1, has one win (15 April at A6) and has shown some promise but struggles with slow away from the inside gate. Recent form reads 43241, with the latest two outings yielding fourth-place finishes. The Trap 1 draw compounds the challenge: only 20% of winners come from the rail over the past 21 days.

NAP: Cofam Spurs, Trap 3. Sharp recent form, proven at this grade, and racing from a middle trap that has demonstrated a solid 19% win return. The dog’s upward form curve is evident and D Hurlock’s training pattern suggests another strong effort.

13:37 – Grade A6, 415m

Salems Campari, the young bitch in this field, has logged three wins in five recent outings and appears to have found her level. Form reads 12121, with recent victories on 1 May (by 1¾) and 24 April (by ½) both from A6 trips. The one-year-old benefits from trainer S Clark’s guidance through a competitive grade. Notably, Salems Campari has raced from Trap 1 and 2 in recent starts, securing wins from both, suggesting adaptability to different draw positions.

Blue Gemstone, the four-year-old from Trap 1, won at this grade on 20 April but has since recorded three consecutive third-place finishes, including on 11 May. Form reads 23331, and whilst the dog shows consistency, the gap to the winner is widening. The very slow away rating (VSAw notation appears repeatedly) from Trap 1 is a concern given the track’s inside-trap disadvantage.

NAP: Salems Campari, Trap 3. Explosive recent form with multiple wins at this grade, the young dog’s trajectory is sharp, and a middle-trap position offers balance on this tight circuit. Forecast potential given competitive depth.

18:11 – Grade A6, 415m

Deelish Mack stands out with consecutive wins on 8 May and 1 May at A6, most recently by ¾ length from Trap 3. The two-year-old dog’s form reads 11563 across the last five runs, showing three wins and two defeats, but both defeats came at Invitation (IT) grade, suggesting this dog is better suited to standard A-grade competition. Recent Invitation races showed stamina struggles over longer trips or against stronger fields, but back at A6 and at 415m, Deelish Mack has delivered back-to-back victories with strong closing efforts.

Snazzy Panda has also won at this track and grade, with a 27 April victory by 1 length from Trap 3. Form reads 12141 across five races, showing two wins and placing regularly. The two-year-old bitch is consistent but Deelish Mack’s consecutive wins and momentum edge the selection.

NAP: Deelish Mack, Trap 3. Consecutive A6 wins at 415m, proven from the middle draw (19% strike rate at Harlow over 21 days), and form trajectory is upward. Racing from Trap 3 in a tight-bend circuit favours settled racing and this dog delivers early pace with late adjustment.

Harlow’s card runs the full 28 races across sprint, standard, and staying distances. A6 and A5 grades dominate Friday’s lineup, with one A4 feature. Early betting markets open Thursday evening; check Starting Price from 18:00 on race day at Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, or William Hill, the main UK bookmakers offering greyhound racing. Forecast and reverse forecast markets represent strong value across all feature races given field sizes and the volatile nature of trap draw advantage on this compact track.
