Monmore Greyhound Tips | 16 June 2026

Monmore Greyhound Tips – Tuesday, 16 June 2026

Monmore Green hosts a 12-race card on Tuesday afternoon, with the first race at 14:31 and the final race wrapping up at 17:57. This West Midlands sand track serves up a competitive mix across the grades, with all distances at the standard 480m trip.

14:31 – Grade A6 480m

The opening race is a lower-grade affair where form consistency counts heavily. Anglesey Rebel, trap 2, has enjoyed strong recent outings at A6-A7 level, securing wins at Monmore on 30 May and 20 May. The mare showed early promise with a rapid away break and rail-hugging style, and she has proven adaptable across the lower grades. While trap 2 sits slightly outside the optimal zone for this track (trap 3 records 25% win rate at 480m), Anglesey Rebel’s recent finishing pattern (1, 1, 5, 3) and Nigel Hunt’s yard form suggest she will be competitive. NAP: Anglesey Rebel, Trap 2.

16:24 – Grade A2 480m

This higher-grade A2 encounter features quality runners. Shannas Cove, trained by R Taberner and drawn in trap 1, arrives with excellent recent form: a neck win at A3 level on 6 June and a 1¼-length success over 630m on 23 May. The dog combines consistent racing with proven Monmore pedigree. However, trap 1 records only 21% win rate at this distance on recent data, and Shannas Cove can suffer crowding into the first bend. Datona Vamoose, trap 3, presents the standout value. The two-year-old bitch showed dominant racing on 11 June with a 1¼-length win at A3 level, and crucially she races from trap 3, which has delivered 25% wins over the past seven days at 480m on sand. Her form string reads 15514, with two wins in the last five runs, and she benefits from D J Page’s consistent yard. The missed break on 1 June is concerning, but her improvement curve and trap position align perfectly with Monmore’s recent data. NAP: Datona Vamoose, Trap 3.

17:01 – Grade A3 480m

Whisky On Fire, drawn in trap 3, commands attention here. The N Hunt-trained bitch recorded a shadowy win at A4 on 8 June from this exact trap, and her form string 13343 shows three wins in the last five. Her racing style favours early pace and rail running, which suits both her draw and the track profile. She won on 8 June with a very sharp performance (odds 3.25) and followed that with a 3¼-length third at A3 just days later. The trap 3 advantage (25% recent success) is significant. Bizarre Barry (trap 1) showed two wins earlier in May but his most recent run on 4 June saw him finish fifth with crowding problems noted. NAP: Whisky On Fire, Trap 3.

17:37 – Grade A4 480m

Sugar King, trained by C Fereday and running from trap 3, is in career-best form. The one-year-old male has strung together four wins in his last five outings: victories on 6 June (4¼ lengths), 30 May (4½ lengths), 9 May, and 2 May. His climb through the grades from A9 to A6 demonstrates genuine progression, and he carries the advantage of trap 3’s 25% win rate at Monmore over 480m. Swift Arson (trap 1) recorded a narrow second on 8 June and a one-length win on 2 June, but the recent pattern suggests Sugar King’s explosive early pace and consistency offer better value in the forecast market. NAP: Sugar King, Trap 3.

Meeting Overview

This 12-race card spans grades A1 through A9, representing a full spectrum of competitive racing.
