Kinsley Greyhound Tips – Friday 12 June 2026
West Yorkshire’s compact sand track at Kinsley hosts twelve races on Friday, with the first at 14:29 and the last at 17:56. This is a solid midweek card for the South and West Yorkshire greyhound community, centred on A-grade and A-grade staying contests over the standard 462m trip.
15:07 – Grade A4, 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lundhill Ellie | 3y B | S Oakes | 463 |
| 2 | Swift Remi | 2y D | J Robinson | 623 |
| 3 | Rackethall Penny | 2y B | I Zivkovic | 451 |
| 4 | Deecee Kara | 2y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 5 | Killieford Kayla | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Swift Ecology | 2y B | J Robinson | No form |
A competitive A4 field with mixed form across the card. Rackethall Penny emerges as the standout here. The two-year-old bitch trained by I Zivkovic has won two of her last five outings, including a decisive seven-length success on 22 May at this track and grade. More crucially, she drew Trap 3 on that winning run and posted a quick away, settling clear from the third bend. Trap 3 at Kinsley over 462m carries a 33 per cent win strike from the last seven days – the most favourable draw on the card. Her most recent outing (7 June, Trap 3, A4) saw her run fourth by just 1.75 lengths after leading to the third bend, suggesting she remains sharp and competitive. Swift Remi (Trap 2) has finished second twice in recent A4 runs but lacks the conviction of Penny’s form. Lundhill Ellie (Trap 1) has drifted in recent weeks from A3 to A4 and shows inconsistency, with a string of poor finishes suggesting she is struggling at this level.
NAP: Rackethall Penny, Trap 3. Look for each-way value in forecast markets; a combination with Swift Remi as the second runner offers fair odds given Penny’s momentum.
16:03 – Grade A5, 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Step Junior | 3y B | W Lyons | 651 |
| 2 | Crystal Zeus | 1y D | T D Coote | 16 |
| 3 | Russanda Lexi | 4y B | M May | 145 |
| 4 | Follow Suit | 4y B | I Zivkovic | No form |
| 5 | Twisted Logic | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
| 6 | Hazelgrove Amani | 3y B | W Lyons | No form |
Russanda Lexi is the class act in this A5 race. The four-year-old trained by M May won her last outing decisively on 5 June (A6, by a shade, leading from the third bend), and her form across May shows genuine consistency. She finished runner-up on 22 May by just half a length and has posted three placings in four runs. Her one concern is trap draw: she runs best from Traps 3 and 4, and today she draws Trap 3, which historically carries a lower win percentage (15 per cent of wins over 462m in the last seven days). However, her class and recent form trump any trap disadvantage. Step Junior (Trap 1) has a win at A6 level but last time out (4 June, handicap, Trap 5) finished sixth after being forced to check at the first bend – a setback for a dog who needs a clear run. Crystal Zeus (Trap 2) is a young dog with just two outing records, both at sprint distance (268m), making him unexposed at this 462m trip and grade.
NAP: Russanda Lexi, Trap 3. Watch her in the 462m forecast combinations; she offers steady, backed-by-form value.
16:22 – Grade A5, 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ballymac Pria | 4y B | B Heaton | 446 |
| 2 | Deecee Smile | 2y B | W Lyons | 522 |
| 3 | Cotswold Milady | 2y B | M May | 431 |
| 4 | Crystal Nancy | 1y B | T D Coote | No form |
| 5 | Swift Loch | 2y D | J Robinson | No form |
| 6 | Hazelgrove Pearl | 1y B | W Lyons | No form |
Cotswold Milady is the pick here. The two-year-old bitch trained by M May has shown consistent upward form, with two wins in her last five runs at A5 and A6 levels. Most tellingly, she has won twice from Trap 3 (29 May and 25 May) – both decisive efforts with early pace, settling clear from the third bend. She drew Trap 3 again on 8 June and finished third by just 2.5 lengths, suggesting she remains in strong form. Trap 3 is the strongest draw at Kinsley for 462m (33 per cent strike rate), amplifying her chances. Ballymac Pria (Trap 1) has won once this season but shows poor recent form, finishing fourth twice and sixth twice in her last four outings. Deecee Smile (Trap 2) has raced exclusively at sprint distance (268m) with mixed results; she is unexposed at this 462m grade and distance.
NAP: Cotswold Milady, Trap 3. Strong trap draw coupled with proven recent form makes her the standout value on the card.
15:26 – Grade A6, 462m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Urgent Call | 2y B | W Lyons | 352 |
| 2 | Tomahurra Winter | 3y B | J S Atkins | 244 |
| 3 | Glenhead Sydney | 3y D | I Zivkovic | 253 |
| 4 | Castlerock Cash | 1y D | J Robinson | No form |
| 5 | Individual Man | 4y D | J S Atkins | No form |
| 6 | Grumpy Baby Dave | 3y D | N Langley | No form |
Glenhead Sydney presents the best opportunity in this A6 contest. The three-year-old dog trained by I Zivkovic has finished second twice in his last three outings at A6 level, showing genuine consistency and competitive edge. Most recently (7 June, A6, Trap 2) he ran second by just three-quarters of a length; on 15 May he also finished second at this grade and track. He shows an ability to get competitive late, with running-on form codes (EvCh). Trap 3 today suits his profile – Trap 3 carries the strongest win percentage (33 per cent) at this track and trip. Urgent Call (Trap 1) is three-year-old but inconsistent, finishing 3rd, 5th, 2nd, 6th and 2nd; she is struggling to find form in A6 races. Tomahurra Winter (Trap 2) has a second place at A6 but four other finishes show middling form and lacks Sydney’s recent consistency.
NAP: Glenhead Sydney, Trap 3. A dog with proven place form and the strongest trap draw offers genuine value; forecast combinations with Urgent Call provide an attractive second runner.
Meeting Overview
The Friday card at Kinsley spans A4 through A6 grades over the standard 462m trip. All four feature races are competitive, middle-of-the-week A-grade contests where recent form and trap draw prove decisive. No sprint or staying races feature on this card, so expect tighter, more predictable racing suited to steady grinders rather than explosive athletes.
Punters’ Note
Starting prices will firm up in the 30 minutes before the first race. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound odds at Kinsley. Forecast and reverse forecast betting is popular at this track; with six-runner fields standard, each-way bets are rarely offered. Monitor the SP movements on your chosen bookie in the final ten minutes before race time; dogs drawn in the favourable Trap 3 often shorten noticeably as punters recognize the bias data.
