Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Tuesday 26 May 2026
Star Pelaw hosts ten races across the evening at this well-established North East circuit, with all four feature races contested over the standard 435m distance on sand.
18:11 – Grade A4 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Knackstar | 3y B | G Foot | 146 |
| 3 | Caseys Oisin | 3y D | S Atkinson | 645 |
| 4 | Shanahee Roxy | 4y B | C M Dibb | 255 |
| 5 | Haywards Ava | 3y B | R McCarthy | No form |
| 6 | Cream Biscuit | 3y D | R McCarthy | No form |
Knackstar arrives in this A4 with excellent recent form. The three-year-old bitch won her last outing at A5 grade just four days ago on 22 May, showing quick away speed and leading throughout. Before that, form was mixed across the grades, but the latest result demonstrates she has found her feet at this level. Trap 1 has dominated the 435m statistics at Star Pelaw over the last 21 days, recording a 36% win rate across 253 races, and Knackstar’s release style suits this draw perfectly. She has won from Trap 1 before and shows consistent rails-running profiles in her notes.
NAP: Knackstar, Trap 1.
18:46 – Grade A3 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Abbeyside Enda | 2y B | D Bell | 521 |
| 3 | Bogger Cutie | 2y B | S Atkinson | 121 |
| 4 | Drish Solar | 3y D | S Miller | 253 |
| 5 | Hams Twin Turbo | 1y B | G Foot | No form |
| 6 | Baby Move | 2y B | R McCarthy | No form |
Bogger Cutie has built genuine momentum in recent weeks. The two-year-old bitch won on 22 May most recently at A4 grade, finding her way through traffic midfield and leading from the quarter. Before that, she claimed victory at A5 on 12 May with a strong middle-run approach. She won again at A5 on 5 May. The form line is consistent and she is stepping back up to A3 after proving herself capable. Trap 3 brings some middle-track advantage, and at 11% win rate here it may look modest against Trap 1 (36%), but Bogger Cutie’s profile of avoiding early congestion and striking in the middle sectors suits this draw. The recent upgrade in class and repetition of winning form marks her as the sharpest runner in the race.
NAP: Bogger Cutie, Trap 3.
19:24 – Grade A3 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hexel Mason | 3y B | R McCarthy | 143 |
| 2 | Glengiblin Frank | 3y D | R McCarthy | 312 |
| 4 | Caseys Shadrack | 4y D | S Atkinson | 363 |
| 5 | Rebel Columbus | 2y D | C M Dibb | No form |
| 6 | Blackstone Dani | 3y D | C M Dibb | No form |
Glengiblin Frank is the standout selection here. The three-year-old dog has shown the most consistent A3 form across the recent card. He won on 12 May, claimed second on 5 May and 28 April respectively, and won again at A4 on 24 April. His form string reads well, and he has demonstrated the ability to lead from or early behind the front. Most recently on 19 May he took third at A3 from Trap 2, showing he is sharp enough for the grade. Trap 2 has managed 15% of wins at this track over the sample period, which is modest but his middle-run and rails-transition style allows him to avoid the congestion that can bite Trap 1 runners. The consistency of his A3 record and proximity to victories marks him as the class runner.
NAP: Glengiblin Frank, Trap 2.
20:52 – Grade A2 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Toddys Raven | 3y B | S Miller | 514 |
| 2 | Please Nancy | 2y B | S Miller | 144 |
| 3 | Solid Zephyr | 1y B | F Kearney | 3 |
| 4 | Trimmer Marley | 2y D | G Foot | No form |
| 6 | Ainster Jim | 3y D | G Foot | No form |
Please Nancy commands serious respect in this A2 contest. The two-year-old bitch won on 19 May in commanding fashion, taking the race by 3 lengths and leading from the third bend. Four days earlier on 15 May she won again at A2, both victories coming from Trap 1. Her form before that shows two fourth-placed efforts, but the two-from-two recent record at this exact grade and distance is powerful evidence. Trap 1 remains the golden draw at Star Pelaw on 435m, showing 36% win rate across the data set. Please Nancy has won from this trap multiple times and shows rapid release, rails-running traits ideally suited to exploiting the inside advantage. Toddys Raven, the other Trap 1 runner, showed recent disappointment in the A1 race three days ago, finishing fifth. Please Nancy’s winning sequence at A2 grade edges her ahead.
NAP: Please Nancy, Trap 1.
Meeting Overview
The card presents a solid A2 to A4 sequence across all four feature races, all held at 435m. No sprint or staying races feature. Grades range from the competitive A2 at 20:52 down to the A4 opener, offering decent variety for punters working through the card. Trap 1 dominance at 36% win rate should inform each race strategy, though dogs with middle-running and avoid-early-traffic profiles (like Bogger Cutie in Trap 3) can capitalise on clearer passages.
