Newcastle Greyhound Tips – Saturday 16 May 2026

Newcastle hosts 12 races on Saturday from 14:28, with a fast sand surface that rewards early-pace runners and sharp trap breaks. This is a quick northern track where trap draw data matters significantly, especially across the feature A2 and A3 grades.

14:28 – Grade A4, 480m

Stormy Lisamarie has won one of her last five outings and shows a solid record from Trap 1 at Newcastle. Her recent 1st place finish on 5 May came from a rail-run lead position, and she has placed in three of her last four attempts at this track and grade. However, trap bias data shows Trap 1 wins only 19% of races at 480m here, placing it among the weaker draws. Millview Dake, in Trap 3, carries better draw bias at 29% and has form including a recent 1st place on 14 April at this exact grade and trip. Form string reads 63531, showing a win sandwiched between third-place finishes. NAP: Millview Dake, Trap 3.

15:08 – Grade A2, 480m

Lorenzos Grey has delivered two wins in the last five races and shows exceptional recent form: three successive 1st place finishes across early April at A2 and A1 grades from Trap 2. The dog broke well from Trap 2 on 9 April (1st by 1 length) and 15 April (1st by 2.5 lengths), both with quick-away and release notes. Trap 2 records a 23% win rate at this distance, mid-tier but solid. Coolavanny Drew, in Trap 3 (the statistically strongest trap at 29%), is only one year old and showed a close 2nd place finish on 9 May with a run-on tag suggesting stamina, yet also has a 5th place finish on 18 April with crowding issues. Lorenzos Grey’s consistency and proven trap proficiency make him the cleaner choice. NAP: Lorenzos Grey, Trap 2.

17:43 – Grade A2, 480m

Swing Ashly has five consecutive Trap 1 runs with mixed results: form reads 44342, showing a 2nd place finish on 23 April but recent 4th place finishes indicating a downward trend. Trap 1 carries only a 19% win rate. Fooled Again, in Trap 3, shows recent form of 52525, a concerning pattern of 5th and 2nd place swaps, and has recorded three finishes from Trap 4 (which has just 8% win rate) in recent races. Limited data on Trap 4 and Trap 6 runners. This race lacks a standout form angle among available runners, but Swing Ashly at least has a proven 2nd place finish at the exact same track, grade, and distance on 23 April. NAP: Swing Ashly, Trap 1.

18:01 – Grade A3, 480m

Wraysbury Ace has won three of the last five races, including a 1st place on 2 May from Trap 2 with early pace and release notes. Form string reads 12111, an outstanding run of form showing a recent win with a narrow-neck margin and consistent early-running tactics. Trap 2 holds a 23% win rate. A Bit Of Betty, in Trap 3, has recorded two wins in five outings but carries a more erratic form pattern and recent OR2 160-level race suggests she may be dropping back in class. Howay The Lasses has mixed recent form from Trap 1 (19% win rate) with a 2-1-5-4-2 pattern. Wraysbury Ace’s recent dominant form and proven trap ability from Trap 2 mark him as the standout. NAP: Wraysbury Ace, Trap 2.
