Newcastle Greyhound Racing Tips: Wednesday 6 May 2026
Newcastle hosts 12 races on Wednesday 6 May, with the first race at 14:29. This fast northern track is known for rewarding quick early-pace runners, and the sand surface should keep the racing sharp across the card.
Race 1: 14:29 | Grade A2 | 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Kazronsteve (D, 3y, S Caile) - Form: 33121
- Trap 2: Droopys Calla (B, 1y, S Roberts) - Form: 34-1-
- Trap 3: Blackhouse Alan (B, 4y, S Ray) - Form: 46356
- Trap 4: Santas Hurricane (D, 1y, D Blackbird) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Frankies Winner (D, 2y, D Blackbird) - Limited data available
Kazronsteve holds the strongest recent form here, with a win at A3 grade on 15 April and a narrow second at A2 on 23 April. From Trap 1, Kazronsteve has benefited from rails running and early leads in recent outings. Despite the trap bias data showing Trap 3 holds the 480m advantage at Newcastle (29% win rate), Kazronsteve's experience at this grade and consistent placement form (three wins and a second in the last five) makes him the standout. His release from the rails and clear-running profile suit Newcastle's quick pace.
NAP: Kazronsteve, Trap 1. Look for forecast value pairing Kazronsteve with Droopys Calla, who showed resilience at this grade before her recent off run.
Race 2: 14:48 | Grade A4 | 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Whitehills Magic (D, 2y, R J Buckton) - Form: 64314
- Trap 2: Midtown Romeo (D, 1y, D Winder) - Form: 52321
- Trap 3: Kerabellec Ella (B, 2y, P Singlewood) - Form: 44542
- Trap 4: Eileens Larue (B, 3y, P Rutherford) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Katies Captain (D, 2y, D Blackbird) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Coolavanny Lucas (D, 3y, A Harrison) - Limited data available
Midtown Romeo emerges as the class act here. A win at A5 grade on 3 April, followed by consistent placings, shows he is a sharp operator. His 2nd place finish from Trap 2 on 8 April (losing by just three-quarters of a length) and his early pace form suggest he will handle Trap 2's slightly disadvantaged position at Newcastle. From Trap 2, middle-trap advantage is tempered by early congestion into the first bend, but Midtown Romeo's nimble early-pace work (noted as "EP" and "Handy" in recent runs) gives him the skills to navigate trouble.
NAP: Midtown Romeo, Trap 2. His recent win at A5 and ability to land the runner-up spot at this grade makes him a strong each-way prospect in forecast markets.
Race 3: 15:26 | Grade A6 | 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: A Bit Of Noah (D, 4y, S Ray) - Form: 43234
- Trap 2: Jackos Cody (D, 1y, D Winder) - Form: 14224
- Trap 3: Crooks Willow (B, 3y, S Caile) - Form: 34241
- Trap 4: Crooks Fearghal (D, 3y, S Caile) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Chasing Aine (B, 1y, P Rutherford) - Limited data available
- Trap 6: Emers Biddy (B, 2y, P Singlewood) - Limited data available
Jackos Cody has turned heads with a win at A7 on 1 May from Trap 3, securing the top spot by just half a length with a mid-race release and strong lead run-up. Though that race was at a lower grade, the verve shown cannot be ignored. From Trap 2, Cody's tape shows he can handle the bend traffic and his recent promotion in form suggests readiness for A6. However, A Bit Of Noah's consistency across five recent runs (all placements, mostly 2nds and 3rds) offers safer form. From Trap 1, Noah has been a reliable rails runner.
NAP: Jackos Cody, Trap 2. His recent A7 win shows upward trajectory, and Trap 2 suits his mid-race adventure style. Forecast pairing with A Bit Of Noah offers insurance.
Race 4: 17:56 | Grade A5 | 480m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Woe Colette (B, 3y, D Blackbird) - Form: 54344
- Trap 2: Szoboszlai (B, 1y, J T Edgar) - Form: 25152
- Trap 3: Wraysbury Silver (D, 3y, P Rutherford) - Form: -11513
- Trap 4: A Bit Of Savana (B, 2y, S Ray) - Limited data available
- Trap 5: Romeo Mig (D, 3y, J T Edgar) - Limited data available
Szoboszlai has the form edge, with back-to-back wins at A6 (4 April) and A5 (14 April), landing the win from Trap 2. Although a recent 5th place run on 21 April clouds the picture, the dog showed early promise and chasing form before tiring. From Trap 2, Szoboszlai's early-season dominance and handy-to-challenge running style mark him out. Wraysbury Silver has two wins from four runs but only one raced in the last month; caution is warranted on freshness.
NAP: Szoboszlai, Trap 2. Two A-grade wins in April signal genuine quality at this level, and Trap 2's rails-favoured profile at Newcastle suits his early attacking style.

Punters' Note
Check Starting Price around 30 minutes before each race; Newcastle's quick pace often firms up the market late. Bet365, Betfair, and William Hill all offer excellent greyhound coverage. Forecast markets (selecting first and second in correct order) are popular for 480m races and offer value on these A-grade fields where form edges are clear.
