Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – 22 May 2026

Star Pelaw hosts ten races on Friday afternoon, with the first at 14:26 and the card wrapping up at 17:14. Pelaw Grange’s compact oval layout demands sharp trap craft and early positioning, particularly on the 435m standard trip that dominates today’s card.

14:44 – Grade A1 435m

Toddys Raven and Wheatsheaf Star are the standout contenders here. Toddys Raven has won two of his last three outings and showed a sharp 1¾-length win in a D3 sprint at 245m just six days ago. However, his A2 form at 435m shows mixed results: a 4th and a 2nd, both at trap 1, with a recent 4th in an Open race. The dog is quick early but lacks the consistency needed at A1 level. Wheatsheaf Star, by contrast, has three wins in his last five starts, including a narrow head victory in an A1 at 435m on 1 May and a 7-length win over A2 company on 24 April. He’s running from trap 2 today after recent form at trap 3 and 4. The form reads “111” in his last three outings (win, win, 2nd), and his mid-run positioning suits the middle gates. Jaydee Baby has two impressive 435m wins but spent recent time at Doncaster in sprint trips, finishing poorly. The return to middle distances at A1 is a significant step up after those weak 275m efforts. NAP: Wheatsheaf Star, Trap 2. Look for value in forecast combinations with Jaydee Baby, who showed early speed in the 2 May win.

15:03 – Grade A2 435m

Birtley Hoopstar and Cornerstone dominate the form here. Birtley Hoopstar has won one of his last five and finished 2nd twice, with solid D2 sprint form at 245m. His most recent outing was a 2nd in an Open race at 435m on 16 May, where he led to the fourth bend before fading. He’s run from trap 3 and 2 recently but draws trap 1 today, which carries a 36% win rate over the last 21 days at this distance on Star Pelaw’s sand surface. However, his closing form suggests he may need running room rather than early pace. Cornerstone has two A-grade wins at 435m, both from trap 2, and his win on 17 April (½ length, A2) shows he can handle the grade. He missed a Doncaster fixture in May but has solid references from April. He ran 4th in an Open race most recently and clearly suits this distance and gate. NAP: Cornerstone, Trap 2. His back-to-back wins in A2 and A3 company from this gate make him the safest pick. Solid Zephyr, Trimmer Marley, and Ainster Jim have limited or no recent form data available.

16:56 – Grade A3 435m

Fruity Beau is the standout selection. This 1-year-old has won one of four runs, most recently on 8 May in an A5 race by ¾ length, showing quick middle-running pace. A 2nd place on 15 May in A3 at 435m confirms the dog can handle this grade and distance. Early pace form (EP, Mid-W, LdRnUp comments) shows Fruity Beau breaks smartly and leads from the middle gates. Inclementwhisper has D2 sprint form only (245m) and shows no 435m record, making the step up to A3 a significant ask. Rebel Columbus finished 3rd and 4th in recent A3 outings but has five consecutive races without a win and appears to be trending downward. NAP: Fruity Beau, Trap 3. The dog’s recent A3 2nd and A5 win show he’s ready for this step, and his early pace suits the middle trap draw.

17:14 – Grade A3 435m

Abbeyside Enda is the form pick. He scored a narrow head-win in an A3 at 435m on 8 May and finished 2nd in A2 company just four days later, only a length down. His form reads 1-2 in his last two completed races (he had a lame withdrawal on 24 April). Rails-to-middle running style suits trap 1, and his consistent finishing positions suggest he’s ready to land a graded win. Drish Solar and Caseys Oisin show mixed A2 and A3 form with recent 5th places, neither offering the confidence of Abbeyside Enda’s recent trajectory. NAP: Abbeyside Enda, Trap 1. His back-to-back 1st and 2nd finishes at this grade and distance are the form guide here, and trap 1 has a 36% strike rate at 435m on Pelaw Grange’s sand.

The card features competitive A1-A3 grades across four feature races at 435m, with no sprint or staying distances. Check Starting Prices approximately 20 minutes before each race. Betfair, Bet365, and Sky Bet offer the best greyhound odds and liquidity. Forecast markets (selecting 1st and 2nd in order) represent strong value on A3 races where form is tighter and outsiders offer decent returns.
