Monmore Greyhound Tips – Wednesday 17 June 2026
Monmore Green hosts a twelve-race card on Wednesday afternoon, with first race at 11:03 and the finale at 14:04. This West Midlands venue continues to attract competitive A-grade fields across the full 480m trip.
11:03 – Grade A7 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Newinn Rocky | 1y D | K Billingham-Hine | 252 |
| 2 | Starmount Flash | 1y D | D J Page | 142 |
| 3 | Seven Stars | 1y B | K Billingham-Hine | 324 |
| 4 | Westway Freedom | 1y B | J B Thompson | No form |
| 5 | Peace O Mind | 2y B | C Jones | No form |
| 6 | Cazzers Ellie | 3y B | C Marston | No form |
The opening race features a modest A7 field where recent form holds considerable weight. Starmount Flash, trained by D J Page and running from Trap 2, has genuine momentum. The dog won last time out on 8 June by three-quarters of a length at the same grade and trip, clocking a strong performance with a solid away and rails run. Prior to that victory, Flash finished second at A8 level, showing consistent form in the lower grades. Trap 2 carries a 13% win strike at 480m here – middle-to-outside traps (4-5) show better percentages at 24-13% – but Flash’s racing style and recent sharpness outweigh the trap disadvantage. Seven Stars, also from Trap 3, has shown promise with a recent second at A7, but that dog showed mixed form (3-2-4-6-1 reading right to left) and lacks Flash’s current consistency.
NAP: Starmount Flash, Trap 2.
11:52 – Grade A6 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Transfer Aaliyah | 2y B | P Cowdrill | 642 |
| 2 | Without Wings | 2y B | C Fereday | 634 |
| 3 | Aero Ella | 3y B | R Taberner | 235 |
| 5 | Bloos Ladysandra | 2y B | J B Thompson | No form |
| 6 | Bits And Bobs | 3y D | M J Russell | No form |
Aero Ella from Trap 3, trained by R Taberner, presents a strong case here. This three-year-old bitch has six recent runs at A6 and A7 level, including a narrow second on 6 June (beaten only a shade) and a commanding win at A7 on 16 May by a length. Her form string shows 2-3-5-1-6 (right to left), with the last win highly relevant. Ella has recorded a win at this exact track and grade within the sample, and her most recent outing shows she remains sharp and competitive. Trap 3 aligns with Monmore’s strongest draw bias at 480m, where the latest data shows T3 winning 25% of races – a notable edge. Transfer Aaliyah and Without Wings both show patchy A6 records with recent sixth-place finishes, making them less reliable. Aero Ella’s blend of proven grade ability, recent sharpness, and superior trap position makes her the standout selection.
NAP: Aero Ella, Trap 3.
12:42 – Grade A5 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aero Bang Bang | 1y B | R Taberner | 463 |
| 2 | Inca Darling | 3y B | P Curtin | 345 |
| 3 | Sugar Candice | 3y B | K Billingham-Hine | 233 |
| 4 | Hollywell Mave | 3y B | P Cowdrill | No form |
| 6 | Aero Maisie | 1y B | R Taberner | No form |
This is a competitive heat featuring Aero Bang Bang from Trap 1, trained by R Taberner. Bang Bang has raced five times recently, with a win at this grade and trip on 5 May by 2.25 lengths, demonstrating A5 winning form. The form sequence reads 4-6-3-1-3 (right to left), and while the most recent run (4th on 13 June) is not ideal, the dog’s win from earlier in the sample and prior third-place finishes show it belongs at this level. Sugar Candice (Trap 3) finished second last time and shows decent recent form, but a missed break on 10 June cost her, and her record across five runs is less convincing (2-3-3-6-4). Inca Darling has ventured into sprint and staying races recently, moving away from 480m consistency. Trap 1 shows only 21% win strike here, but Bang Bang’s recent victory and proven form at A5 justify the selection despite the inside draw disadvantage. This is a volatile race, and forecast value exists across the top four runners.
NAP: Aero Bang Bang, Trap 1.
13:46 – Grade A4 480m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sparta Kingdom | 2y D | J B Thompson | 426 |
| 2 | Ballymac Dixie | 1y B | D J Page | 2-12 |
| 3 | Aero Hypernova | 2y D | R Taberner | 624 |
| 4 | Kilwest Beauty | 2y B | R Taberner | No form |
| 5 | Aero Dulcie | 2y B | R Taberner | No form |
| 6 | Thru The Roof | 3y D | K Billingham-Hine | No form |
The feature race draws a competitive A4 field where Ballymac Dixie, Trap 2, trained by D J Page, stands out on recent form and consistency. This young bitch (aged 1 year) has raced five times, with a standout win at A5 on 27 May by 5 lengths, followed by two consecutive second-place finishes at A4 (8 June and 2 June, both narrow defeats). Her recent form string of 2-2-1-3-2 (right to left) shows sustained competitiveness at this level. The dog evidently belongs here and has been mixing with the right class. Sparta Kingdom (Trap 1) shows mixed A3/A4 form with a recent 4th and 2nd, but has struggled at A3 level with a 6th-place finish. Aero Hypernova has been inconsistent, missing a break at A3 level and finishing 6th in an Open race at sprint distance most recently. Trap 2 carries 13% strike rate at 480m, but Ballymac Dixie’s proven recent wins and consistent A4-A5 performances offset the draw. This dog represents the form anchor in the feature.
NAP: Ballymac Dixie, Trap 2.
Meeting Overview
Wednesday’s card comprises four A-grade races (A4 to A7), offering varied competitive levels across the 480m standard trip. No sprint or staying races feature on this card, keeping the focus entirely on middle-distance racing where trap draw and recent consistency drive outcomes. The grades range from A4 (most competitive) down to A7 (entry level), with good liquidity expected on the feature race.
Punters’ Note
Check starting prices roughly 15 minutes before race time; Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound odds. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are popular on six-runner fields and often feature generous odds. The trap bias data shows Trap 3 with a 25% strike at 480m over the last seven days, so runners drawn here warrant closer attention. Each-way betting is rare in greyhound racing due to small field sizes, but forecast combinations across the NAPs and logical second-choice runners offer genuine value.
