Star Pelaw Tips: Tuesday 28 April 2026
Star Pelaw stages 10 races on Tuesday 28 April, with the first off at 18:11 on sand. Pelaw Grange is a compact North East circuit where middle traps hold advantage on the standard 435m trip, and wide runners benefit on the back straight at 575m.
18:11 - Race 1, A3, 435m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Hexel Mason (R McCarthy) - form: 15416
- Trap 2: Marlfield Enya (S Miller) - form: 45646
- Trap 3: Glengiblin Frank (R McCarthy) - form: 12233
- Trap 4: Mall Could Do (K Kennedy) - limited data available
- Trap 5: Caseys Shadrack (S Atkinson) - limited data available
- Trap 6: Ainster Jim (G Foot) - limited data available
NAP: Glengiblin Frank, Trap 3. The form string reads 12233 - consecutive second and third place finishes in A4 company show consistency, with a recent win on 24 April by a nose off Trap 3. Fast early pace (EP, Ld Fr 1) combined with a middle-trap draw suits Pelaw's profile. Hexel Mason from Trap 1 has winning form but recent 4th on 24 April signals slight regression; Marlfield Enya's fifth and sixth place returns rule her out despite her trainer's pedigree.
19:42 - Race 2, A4, 435m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Another Phoenix (S Miller) - form: 31454
- Trap 3: Gurtnara Jax (D Bell) - form: 45351
- Trap 4: Anglesey Tesla (S Miller) - form: 25252
- Trap 5: Keefill Darwin (G Foot) - limited data available
- Trap 6: Cream Biscuit (R McCarthy) - limited data available
Anglesey Tesla's form (25252) shows a 2nd on 21 April with bumped run-up and disputed leading through to first bend, backed by two further seconds on 5 and 29 March. The 1-year-old has settled into a pattern of minor placings; however, Another Phoenix's recent third on 21 April combined with a 26 April win (26 April form not displayed but referenced as recent) and A5 winning form on 17 April edges ahead. Gurtnara Jax's non-arrival on 31 March casts doubt on consistency.
This is a competitive four-dog race, but form depth favours Another Phoenix. NAP: Another Phoenix, Trap 1. Recent third-place finish shows current form; winning record at A5 level (17 April) signals upside potential in A4 company. Rails and clear run comments suggest the dog handles Trap 1 positively on a track without severe inside-bend congestion.
19:58 - Race 3, A2, 435m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Please Nancy (S Miller) - form: 35451
- Trap 2: Mags Star (G Foot) - form: 52511
- Trap 3: Caseys Oisin (S Atkinson) - form: 14336
- Trap 4: Trimmer Marley (G Foot) - limited data available
- Trap 5: Glenbervie Wolf (M J Watson) - limited data available
- Trap 6: Fruity Bets (S Miller) - limited data available
Mags Star's recent form (52511) is striking: a win on 29 March (OR grade, quick away, middle, always led) followed by a win on 22 March at A3 (quick away, mid, always led). The dog dropped to A2 on 21 April and finished fifth (5), but the form comments note bump on first bend. Trap 2 on this card will suit, and the dog's mid-track pattern and early-pace template align with success at Pelaw. Caseys Oisin took a win on 24 April at A3 (early pace, mid, always led) but the form shows a fall on 26 March and inconsistency before that. Please Nancy's 2nd on 21 April from Trap 1 is solid but crowded with issues.
NAP: Mags Star, Trap 2. Multiple wins in recent weeks and a proven quick-break / mid-track raider profile. The 21 April fifth was blotted by race traffic; prior form justifies a strong market profile at A2 grade.
20:52 - Race 4, A3, 435m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Untold Kuna (G Foot) - form: 33523
- Trap 2: Caseys Jake (S Atkinson) - form: 13141
- Trap 3: Rebel Columbus (C M Dibb) - form: 24242
- Trap 4: Smell The Bucks (G Foot) - limited data available
- Trap 5: Garren Zulu (S Miller) - limited data available
- Trap 6: Baby Move (R McCarthy) - limited data available
Caseys Jake's form (13141) is exceptional: three wins in the last five runs (3 April, 29 March, most recent 24 April by a shadow off Trap 2 in this very race). The comment on 24 April shows run-on-well and led near line, indicating tactical maturity and closing pace. Rebel Columbus shows consistency (24242) but has only two seconds; Untold Kuna's form is more scattered with threes and fives.
This race is Caseys Jake's to lose. Previous winner from this trap in this exact condition is as good as racing form gets.
Meeting Overview
Star Pelaw's card spans A2 to A4 grades across all 10 races, with the bulk at A3-A4 standard. The 435m trip dominates; no sprint or staying races are scheduled. Field sizes appear competitive, with several races featuring unexposed younger runners (Trap 4-6 entries in multiple races with limited history). Forecast markets will offer value given mixed form among second and third favourites.
Punters' Note
Check Starting Prices from 17:45 onwards; Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer strong greyhound coverage at Star Pelaw. Forecast and reverse forecast markets are especially popular on Tuesday cards when major meetings are absent. With six-runner fields standard, each-way betting rarely features; instead, target forecast combinations among the form-exposed runners listed above. Track bias favours early pace and middle draws on this 435m circuit, so prioritise quick-away runners with mid-trap or rails comments in your selections.
