Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Friday, 15 May 2026

Star Pelaw (Pelaw Grange) in Chester-le-Street hosts ten races across a compact sand oval on Friday, with the first race at 14:26 and the finale at 17:14. The North East venue is a well-established GBGB circuit where trap bias plays a significant role in race outcomes.

15:03 – Grade A3, 435m

Baby Cupcakes comes into this race with excellent recent form at the grade and distance. The three-year-old bitch has won two of her last five outings at Star Pelaw in A3 company, most recently taking victory on 21 April by a decisive 7.5 lengths. Her form string reads “12321” over the past month, showing consistency and a propensity to be competitive in the mix. Baby Cupcakes has drawn Trap 1, which carries a strong 36 per cent win rate at 435m over the last 60 days at Star Pelaw. Despite a poor run on 9 May when she finished sixth after a bad card into the first bend, she bounced back with the form-boosting win four days earlier. The rails draw and her track-house experience under trainer S Atkinson make this an attractive play. NAP: Baby Cupcakes, Trap 1.

16:37 – Grade A2, 435m

Ballinabola Eve is the standout selection in a competitive A2 field. This three-year-old bitch boasts a stellar recent record, having won two of her last five races at grade and distance, including victory on 9 May by half a length and a dominant win on 5 April by 1.75 lengths. Her form string “12311” demonstrates high-class form over the period. She has drawn Trap 1 again, where the statistical edge is pronounced at 36 per cent. Ballinabola Eve shows consistency at both standard and grade, and trainer G Foot has her firing. The only blot is her narrow second on 2 May, but that was a genuine near-miss rather than a performance concern. She is the class act on display. NAP: Ballinabola Eve, Trap 1.

16:56 – Grade A3, 435m

Mary Walloper commands attention despite her youth at just two years old. The bitch has demonstrated Open race capability, winning on 9 May by half a length at 435m from Trap 1. Her form across five runs shows “12212”, which reflects genuine competitive ability in the higher grades. She has raced at multiple distances (245m sprints to 435m standard) and consistently shown the ability to release from the rails, recording victories and places throughout. The Trap 1 draw provides the statistical foundation (36 per cent at 435m), and her recent win under trainer S Miller confirms she is ready to mix it at this level. Her sprint experience also suggests tactical awareness. NAP: Mary Walloper, Trap 1.

17:14 – Grade A4, 435m

Saltees Kayla is the most credible runner in this lower-A4 finale. The two-year-old bitch has a form string of “36126” and showed clear progression when winning on 9 April from Trap 3 in A5 company by half a length. She has since stepped up to A4 and recorded a third place on 8 May, demonstrating that the step up is within her range. Trainer G Foot has her in good order, and her combination of release ability and middle-ground competitiveness gives her an edge in a modest field. Limited data on some rivals and a relatively weak grade support her candidacy. NAP: Saltees Kayla, Trap 2.

Meeting Overview: Friday’s card at Star Pelaw spans A2 through A4 grades, with all races at the standard 435m distance on sand. This is a mid-week fixture with consistent racing, and all ten races are active. The Trap 1 bias at 36 per cent is pronounced and should influence betting strategy, particularly in the earlier races where field strength may be more volatile.

Punters’ Note: Check starting prices in the 30 minutes before each race, as odds tend to firm on the back of late money. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound markets. Forecast and reverse forecast betting is particularly rewarding in six-runner fields where there is genuine uncertainty beyond the favourite; consider building multiples across the day’s features.
