Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Friday, 19 June 2026
Star Pelaw hosts ten races on Friday afternoon, with the first race away at 14:26 and the finale at 17:14. This compact North East circuit on sand is a regular GBGB venue where trap bias plays a decisive role across its 435m card.
14:26 – Grade A6 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Solway Barbie | 1y B | R Rotherham | 56-1 |
| 3 | Killieford Anton | 1y D | M Sillars | 153 |
| 4 | Caseys Babs | 4y D | S Atkinson | 122 |
| 5 | Mcdara Bella | 1y B | G Foot | No form |
| 6 | Phantasma | 2y B | S Miller | No form |
The opening race features a competitive A6 field where recent form and experience matter sharply. Caseys Babs, in Trap 4, arrives with exceptional credentials. The four-year-old has claimed four wins and two seconds from his last six starts, including a dominant victory at A7 on 13 June (won by 1ยผ lengths) and a solid second at A6 on 5 June. Form string reads: 122221, demonstrating consistency at this grade and above. Caseys Babs has recorded quick away times and locked onto the rails effectively from Trap 4. With trap data showing Trap 1 enjoys a 36 per cent win rate at 435m on this track, Trap 4 at 26 per cent still offers solid middle-track balance; Caseys Babs’ front-running style and recent sharpness make him the standout pick.
NAP: Caseys Babs, Trap 4. Killieford Anton (Trap 3) offers each-way appeal after a recent A7 victory, though limited A6 form data suggests caution.
14:44 – Grade A4 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marisol | 2y B | R Thompson | 513 |
| 2 | Westfield Zucoto | 3y B | J L Smith | 333 |
| 3 | Inclement Moon | 2y D | G Foot | 5 |
| 4 | Bogger Cutie | 2y B | S Atkinson | No form |
| 5 | Rolo Twirl | 2y B | C M Dibb | No form |
| 6 | Kirstiethepenter | 2y B | R Rotherham | No form |
Marisol (Trap 1) lines up for R Thompson and enjoys a significant advantage at this circuit. The two-year-old bitch won impressively at A5 on 9 June (by 4ยพ lengths) with a form sequence reading: 15331. Her recent outings show consistent early pace (EP, Rls markers) and genuine front-running ability. At A4, she faces a drop in grade and Trap 1 is statistically dominant here (36 per cent). A recent fifth at A4 suggests the grade is not beyond her; her A5 win form, combined with Trap 1 bias and early-break capability, makes her the logical choice. Westfield Zucoto (Trap 2) ran third at this grade on 7 June but form is less compelling.
NAP: Marisol, Trap 1. Forecast backers should explore Marisol and Westfield Zucoto.
15:41 – Grade A2 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Brassneck Usyk | 3y D | W Sheldon | 413 |
| 3 | Links Ginola | 2y D | K Kennedy | 5-1-1 |
| 4 | Trimmer Marley | 2y D | G Foot | 241 |
| 5 | Toonrlee | 2y D | D Wilkinson | No form |
| 6 | Pressure Tie | 1y D | N Brown | No form |
This is a tighter A2 affair and Trimmer Marley (Trap 4) emerges as the class act. The two-year-old, trained by G Foot, boasts three wins and two seconds from five recent races: form reads 21124. Most notably, he won at A2 on 26 May (by 4ยพ lengths) with middle-track tactics and strong run-in performance. On 12 June he earned second place at the same grade from Trap 5 (by 1ยผ), demonstrating adaptability across trap draws. His quick away times and mid-track cruising style suit Trap 4 perfectly (26 per cent win rate). Brassneck Usyk (Trap 2) offers alternatives; his recent A3 win shows ability, but form is patchy and trap draw less favourable. Trimmer Marley’s consistency and recent A2 success make him the clear choice.
NAP: Trimmer Marley, Trap 4. Brassneck Usyk provides forecast cover if form steadies.
16:56 – Grade A4 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Inclementwhisper | 2y B | G Foot | 552 |
| 3 | Krakatoa Lava | 2y D | C M Dibb | 661 |
| 4 | Loxleys Ace | 1y D | S Miller | 5 |
| 5 | Caseys Shadrack | 4y D | S Atkinson | No form |
| 6 | Spy Master | 2y B | D Wilkinson | No form |
Krakatoa Lava (Trap 3) presents value here. The two-year-old, trained by C M Dibb, recorded a dominant A6 victory on 30 May (won by 10 lengths) with a very quick away marker and cutting-in tactics that resulted in a clear lead. Form string reads: 52125 – mixed recent results, but the A6 win form is sharp. A6 form generally trumps the current A4 grade. Recent outings at A4 (6th on 9 June) and A6 suggest inconsistency, yet the 30 May win performance and track familiarity (Star Pelaw regular) warrant backing. Inclementwhisper (Trap 2) showed early-race promise at A3 (5 May) but recent OR form is fragile. Loxleys Ace (Trap 4) remains unexposed at this grade. Krakatoa Lava’s class form and Trap 3 position (11 per cent win rate – below average but workable) offers value in a thinly-drawn field.
NAP: Krakatoa Lava, Trap 3. Reverse forecast appeal with Inclementwhisper if she shows early pace.
