Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips | 20 June 2026

Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Saturday 20 June 2026

Star Pelaw hosts a 14-race card from 17:47 to 21:31 on this North East Saturday, with a compact oval layout that favours early pace and tactical nous.

17:47 – Grade A3, 435m

Baby Cupcakes holds the standout form here. The three-year-old bitch has won twice in her last five outings at Star Pelaw, most recently landing an A3 victory on 7 June by 2.25 lengths from trap one. She released cleanly that day and led throughout, a pattern consistent across her recent record. On 29 May she also led from trap one before being caught in the final furlong, but the form reads as strong and consistent at this grade and trip.

Caseys Jake offers a solid alternative. The four-year-old has two wins and two seconds from his last five starts, including a 435m A3 victory on 29 May by five lengths. His form over recent weeks shows him running on nicely from the middle trap (trap two), though he has struggled in A2 company.

NAP: Baby Cupcakes, Trap 1. The trap one bias at this track is pronounced (36% win rate over 21 days), and Baby Cupcakes has proven she can exploit it with a clean break and front-running style.

18:39 – Grade A5, 435m

Kilbarry Limit emerges as the strongest candidate. This three-year-old bitch won most recently on 9 June at A7 grade (one level lower) by 6.25 lengths, leading strongly from trap five. Her previous outing was a fourth-place finish at A5 over the same course and distance, but that run came only five days earlier. Before that she shows two solid efforts in minor grades. She has early pace and a willingness to cut in and control the race from the middle positions.

Rosstemple Bell is unexposed at this grade. The two-year-old has shown promise in A6 and A8 company at Newcastle, winning on 8 May, but this represents a step up in class. Her trap one draw helps given the strong bias (36% locally), though her recent form lacks the consistency of Kilbarry Limit.

NAP: Kilbarry Limit, Trap 3. She has won at this exact grade and distance recently, and her middle-trap style suits Star Pelaw’s oval layout. Her explosive run on 9 June demonstrates she carries form into higher grades.

20:26 – Grade A4, 435m

Catunda Leo stands out as the form pick. This two-year-old dog has finished second twice in his last four A4 outings at Star Pelaw, most recently on 13 June when beaten just two lengths. He runs with early pace (noted as EP in comments) and settles in the middle, landing runner-up finishes on 30 May and 13 June. His form trajectory is positive and he has proven capable of handling A4 grade. The trap three draw is neutral on this evidence.

Louis Hope brings sprint form from Sunderland. The two-year-old bitch won on 20 May over 261m and has backed that up with two seconds and a fifth from his last four runs. However, the step up to 435m is significant, and his experience is limited to shorter distances on an unfamiliar track.

NAP: Catunda Leo, Trap 3. Two runner-up finishes in recent A4 contests show he belongs in this grade, and his early-pace running style gives him every chance to break through.

21:31 – Grade A2, 435m

Up To Mischief leads the betting case. This three-year-old dog has won three of his last five starts, including a convincing 1.75-length victory at A3 on 17 April from trap two. More impressively, he won at Sunderland only 13 days ago in an A3 race by a nose, showing he runs and travels well beyond his home track. His trap one draw here aligns perfectly with Star Pelaw’s pronounced inside trap bias (36% win rate). He releases cleanly and has proven front-running ability.

Drish Solar has been running consistently at A3 and A2 grades, finishing second on 16 June and winning on 12 June at A3, though from trap four. He shows mid-trap racing patterns and solid closing efforts, but lacks the headline wins that Up To Mischief carries.

NAP: Up To Mischief, Trap 1. Recent wins across different venues, a tailor-made trap draw for this track, and proven A3 form all point to a confident selection at A2 level.

Meeting Overview

The card spans A2 through A5 grades with the bulk of racing at A3-A5 standard. All four feature races are pitched at 435m, with early pace and trap draw bias providing key angles across the afternoon.
