Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips | 16 May 2026

Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Saturday, 16 May 2026

Star Pelaw hosts 14 races across the evening from 17:47, with a compact oval layout that favours early pace and inside-trap runners at this north-east GBGB venue.

17:47 – Grade A4, 435m

Knackstar shows the most consistent recent form in this A4 field, with three placings from five runs including a narrow second to the rails and a third with early effort. The gelding has been competitive at this grade and distance. However, Bogger Cutie demands serious respect: she fired in a win just three days ago (12 May) from Trap 4 in A5, leading after the third bend, and has shown early pace consistently (EP in recent runs). Her last five results read 1, 4, 4, 4, 4 – the win is fresh and the A4 grade slightly easier than her recent A5 outing. Trap 3 is neutral at Star Pelaw, and she suits a middle-draw berth based on her tactical profile. NAP: Bogger Cutie, Trap 3. Look for forecast value backing her to place with Knackstar.

19:14 – Grade A3, 435m

Moonveen Jemima is the standout pick here. The 2-year-old bitch has three wins in her last five runs (form: 3, 1, 2, 4, 4 reading oldest to newest) and notched victory on 6 April from Trap 1 at open level. Her most recent outing saw a 4th at A2 grade (harder company), but the rails preference and early-pace style (Rls, LdFr1, AHandy) should suit this A3 contest. Trap 2 is a slight compromise – T2 shows only 15 per cent win rate at 435m over 21 days – but her form is strong enough to overcome positional disadvantage. Oceans Blue offers each-way appeal: one win (4 April, A4) and a second (29 March) bracket her recent output, though two outside placings suggest inconsistency. NAP: Moonveen Jemima, Trap 2. Forecast combinations with Oceans Blue offer value at this grade.

20:26 – Grade A5, 435m

Bisto Jayden is the clear NAP selection. The 2-year-old dog dog has won twice in his last five runs and carries a recent victory (5 May) from Trap 2 by over six lengths, establishing early pace and holding on. His form string reads 2, 1, 5, 1, 2 – consistent top-three finishes with two wins. He shows EP and Rls-Mid patterns, settling quickly and pressing through the middle stages. Adamant Elsa won her last outing (9 May, A6) but has a seven-week gap before that and limited recent racing; she may need the outing. Hello Me Man finished second narrowly (9 May) in A5 but has shown inconsistency and off-colour records in the past two months. Bisto Jayden’s recent trajectory and early-pace control make him the standout. NAP: Bisto Jayden, Trap 1. Trap 1 shows 36 per cent win rate at 435m and suits his racing style.

21:01 – Grade A6, 435m

Caseys Babs emerges as the NAP selection, despite limited recent form. The 4-year-old bitch won twice in her last five runs (28 April and 24 April, both A6) and returned only three days ago with a third at A6, bumped early but recovering to place. Her record shows DispTilLd (disputed until led), AHandy, and BmpStt&RnIn patterns – she can overcome early trouble and finish strongly. Caseys Mario showed a recent win from Trap 1 at A7 (8 May) and ran second 12 May, but form is mixed at A6. Krakatoa Lava has six fourth-place or lower results in his last five runs and offers limited confidence. Caseys Babs’ wins at exactly this grade and distance, combined with her comeback third, position her as the most capable runner. NAP: Caseys Babs, Trap 2. Expect tight forecasts at A6 – check early-trade prices across Betfair and Bet365.

Tonight’s 14-race card spans A3 to A6 grades at the standard 435m trip, suiting rhythm runners and early-pace dogs on this tight circuit. Check starting prices 15 minutes before each race with Bet365, William Hill, SkyBet, or Betfair; greyhound SP can shift sharply. Forecast and reverse-forecast markets offer value when outsiders challenge from wider traps – Moonveen Jemima and Bogger Cutie in particular could offer odds-on favourites stiff competition.
