Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Tuesday 19 May 2026
Star Pelaw hosts a ten-race card on Tuesday evening from 18:11, anchored by a competitive A2 fixture at 19:42. The Pelaw Grange circuit is a compact sand oval where trap draw plays a decisive role, particularly at the standard 435m trip that dominates the card.
18:11 – Grade A3 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baby Cupcakes | 3y B | S Atkinson | 361 |
| 2 | Glengiblin Frank | 3y D | R McCarthy | 122 |
| 4 | Mall Could Do | 3y D | K Kennedy | 254 |
| 5 | Rolo Twirl | 1y B | C M Dibb | No form |
| 6 | Baby Move | 2y B | R McCarthy | No form |
Baby Cupcakes has been in excellent recent trim at this grade and track, with a win on 5 May and consecutive placings either side. The most recent outing (15 May) saw a third-place finish from Trap 1, beaten only 3.5 lengths in an A3 clash. Trap 1 at Star Pelaw on 435m carries a strong 36 per cent win strike over the last 60 days, and Baby Cupcakes has shown consistent pace here, holding leads throughout trips and only faltering once (6 May, crowded at bend 1). Glengiblin Frank is the dangerous rival, with a recent A3 win and solid placed form, but Baby Cupcakes’ sustained recent consistency edges the market. NAP: Baby Cupcakes, Trap 1.
18:46 – Grade A5 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marisol | 2y B | R Thompson | 156 |
| 2 | Glengiblinbadger | 3y B | R McCarthy | 244 |
| 3 | Briar Lane Jim | 1y D | R McCarthy | No form |
| 4 | Caseys Barbra | 4y B | S Atkinson | No form |
| 5 | Glengiblin Bella | 3y B | R McCarthy | No form |
| 6 | Winter King | 2y D | M Dobson | No form |
Marisol claimed an A6 victory just seven days ago from Trap 1, moving up in grade tonight. Despite a mixed recent record at A5 level (5 May fifth), the dogs-form pattern shows Marisol responds to rail tactics and a clean break. The A5 grade is stepping up from A6, but the trainer R Thompson’s record and recent win suggest confidence. Glengiblinbadger has been a consistent A5 performer, placing in the last two A5 runs, but Marisol’s fresher form and Trap 1 advantage at Star Pelaw make her the selection. NAP: Marisol, Trap 1.
19:42 – Grade A2 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Please Nancy | 2y B | S Miller | 441 |
| 2 | Caseys Jake | 4y D | S Atkinson | 331 |
| 3 | Bandit Emily | 1y B | C Watson | 421 |
| 4 | Brassneck Usyk | 3y D | W Sheldon | No form |
| 5 | Garren Zulu | 1y D | S Miller | No form |
Please Nancy won decisively on 28 April (by 6 lengths, rails) from Trap 1 in an A2, and followed up with close placings at this level. Form reads 54241 across the five most recent starts, showing recent recovery after mid-April wobbles. The dog has been beaten in two of the last three races (8 and 2 May) and carries some inconsistency, but the 28 April victory was commanding and rails-suited. However, Caseys Jake presents stronger current form: 11221 across the five, with back-to-back A3 wins (24 and 2 May) and third-place finishes either side of that streak. Jake ran from Trap 2 on 2 May when winning (rails-middle line, ahead at lead), and holds form advantage. Bandit Emily, despite youth at A2 level, showed a strong win on 1 May at A3 (though Trap 2 then), and recent placings suggest stamina is developing. The trap bias data shows Trap 1 holds 36 per cent strike at 435m, but Caseys Jake from Trap 2 has proven recent form at A3-A2 standard. NAP: Caseys Jake, Trap 2.
20:52 – Grade A4 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hexel Mason | 3y B | R McCarthy | 433 |
| 2 | Marlfield Enya | 2y B | S Miller | 146 |
| 3 | Fruity Aye Aye | 2y B | S Miller | 51 |
| 4 | Anglesey Tesla | 2y D | S Miller | No form |
| 6 | Cream Biscuit | 3y D | R McCarthy | No form |
Hexel Mason won from Trap 1 on 17 April and shows a mixed recent A4-A3 record with three fourth-place finishes in the last four runs. The 17 April victory was close (by a nose, rails, near line), indicating capable racing but no standout recent form. Marlfield Enya returned to 435m form on 5 May after a sprint outing (a D3 win on 15 May), but the recent 435m record is poor: fourth and sixth in the last two A4-A3 runs. Fruity Aye Aye offers limited data but showed a recent A7 win (28 April, middle track, snail clear), indicating some acceleration potential, though dropping back to A4 from A7 is unusual and suggests the form may not hold at this tougher level. Hexel Mason’s Trap 1 advantage (36 per cent strike) and the 17 April A4 win make this the safest selection, despite patchy recent placings. NAP: Hexel Mason, Trap 1.
The full card covers A2 down to A5 grades on sand, all at 435m, offering consistent betting patterns throughout the evening. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are worth monitoring for value, particularly in the A3 and A5 races where form is tighter.
