Monmore Greyhound Tips – Wednesday 13 May 2026
Monmore Green hosts a 12-race card on Wednesday afternoon, with the first race at 11:03 and the final at 14:04. This West Midlands venue delivers a mixed programme of lower and mid-grade racing across 480m, offering punters consistent opportunities in forecast and win markets.
11:03 – Grade A10 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yama Beauty | 2y B | C Fereday | 466 |
| 2 | Whisky N Coke | 2y D | C Marston | 313 |
| 3 | Bombay Lucky | 4y D | P Cowdrill | 324 |
| 4 | Straight Fire | 4y D | C Fereday | No form |
| 5 | Elderberry Tina | 2y B | P Cowdrill | No form |
| 6 | Tommys Snowman | 2y B | J B Thompson | No form |
The opening race sees a field of six in the A10 grade, a lower-class event that attracts inconsistent form lines. Yama Beauty (Trap 1) has shown flashes at this grade, winning on 15 April with a clean break and rails run, but recent form is patchy with multiple last-place finishes. Whisky N Coke (Trap 2) returns from Irish tracks at Tralee and Valley with limited recent Monmore exposure. Bombay Lucky (Trap 3) is the standout candidate here, a four-year-old with solid recent consistency at A10 level. On 2 May, he ran 3rd from Trap 3 with a middle run and carded cramp at the first bend, finishing just half a length off the winner. His 22 April second-place finish shows he can compete, and the middle trap draw aligns well with Monmore’s 480m bias data, where Trap 3 has won 25 per cent of races over the past week. NAP: Bombay Lucky, Trap 3. Look for forecast value pairing him with Yama Beauty for the place frame.
12:26 – Grade A9 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Florican Gem | 1y B | R Taberner | No form |
| 2 | Sugar Sherbut | 1y B | C Fereday | 131 |
| 3 | Swift Style | 1y D | P Cowdrill | 445 |
| 4 | Final Episode | 2y D | P Curtin | No form |
| 6 | Oh No Doubt | 2y B | J Walton | No form |
A competitive A9 grade featuring Sugar Sherbut (Trap 2) and Swift Style (Trap 3) as the key form runners. Sugar Sherbut is in excellent recent nick, winning on 6 May from Trap 2 by a short head with a flying start and led from two, and backing that up with a 25 April win from the same trap. However, she does carry a scratching from 30 March. Swift Style has inconsistent recent form with three consecutive fourth and fifth-place finishes from April, though he did win on 1 April from Trap 3 with an early pace and middle run. Limited form data is available for Florican Gem (Trap 1), Final Episode (Trap 4) and Oh No Doubt (Trap 6), making them harder to assess. Sugar Sherbut’s recent winning form from Trap 2 makes her the selection despite the rails draw not aligning with the 25 per cent Trap 3 advantage. NAP: Sugar Sherbut, Trap 2. She has momentum and looks overpriced given her latest two victories.
11:52 – Grade A5 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vixons Eggshell | 2y D | J B Thompson | 565 |
| 2 | Inca Darling | 3y B | P Curtin | 611 |
| 3 | Aero Galactica | 1y D | R Taberner | 131 |
| 4 | Cashen Pogacha | 2y D | P Cowdrill | No form |
| 5 | Aero Immoral | 1y D | R Taberner | No form |
The 11:52 A5 race showcases Aero Galactica (Trap 3), a one-year-old dog in outstanding recent form. He has won twice from his last three starts: a narrow victory on 25 April from Trap 3 by half a length with a slow away and carded first bend lead, and a very recent 6 May win from the same trap by just a nose, leading throughout. His consistency over short odds (2.10 to 2.38) in this exact grade and trap draw is compelling. Inca Darling (Trap 2) has also shown recent wins, backing up two victories in lower A6 and A7 grades, but she ran 6th on 6 May. Vixons Eggshell (Trap 1) carries too many recent fifth and sixth-place finishes to be considered. Aero Galactica benefits from Trap 3’s proven 25 per cent win rate at Monmore 480m and is clearly the progressive dog in this field. NAP: Aero Galactica, Trap 3. His two recent wins from this exact trap and grade make him the obvious choice, and the middle draw is ideal for this surface.
12:59 – Grade A2 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Holding Hollie | 1y B | R Taberner | 624 |
| 2 | Ballyhealy Star | 3y B | J B Thompson | 155 |
| 3 | Newinn Rex | 1y D | J Walton | 114 |
| 4 | Good Maverick | 3y D | K Billingham-Hine | No form |
| 5 | Aero Sophie | 2y B | R Taberner | No form |
The feature race at 12:59 in the competitive A2 grade produces a fascinating matchup. Newinn Rex (Trap 3) is a one-year-old with recent consecutive wins on 2 May and 27 April from Trap 3, both at A3 and A4 grades respectively, showing quick progression. His form string of “111” demonstrates excellent current form, and he benefits from Monmore’s Trap 3 bias (25 per cent). Ballyhealy Star (Trap 2) won on 4 May from Trap 1 in close A3 company and has mixed results at this level, with a recent fifth from 25 April. Holding Hollie (Trap 1) shows recent inconsistency despite running at A3 and OR grades, with a sixth on 7 May and two second-place finishes. Good Maverick (Trap 4) and Aero Sophie (Trap 5) have no recent form data available. Newinn Rex’s back-to-back wins combined with the Trap 3 statistical advantage make him the NAP selection, though this is a strong A2 field and odds should be treated with caution. NAP: Newinn Rex, Trap 3. Two consecutive wins from this trap in rising grades, plus the data-backed trap advantage, make him the standout.
Monmore’s Wednesday card is dominated by mid-to-lower grades (A2 through A10), offering classic betting value in forecast and reverse forecast markets rather than heavy favourite play.
