Sunderland Greyhound Tips – Sunday, 10 May 2026

Sunderland hosts a 12-race card on Sunday with a North East loyal following backing quality A-grade racing across the afternoon. First race at 11:09, with the feature races spread across the session.

11:27 – Grade A3, 450m

Zesty Kiwi has secured consistent placings in this grade, posting a recent 2-3-1-4-4 form string. The form reads strongly: two weeks back landed a win from trap 2 at A4 level by 3¾ lengths at 11.00 odds, and more recently took second in A3 company by just 1¾. Released and running on well is the hallmark, suggesting a dog hitting form curve at the right time. Trap 1 draws neutral at Sunderland (22% win rate), but Zesty Kiwi’s recent success came from trap 2 midfield, where the dog has shown tactical awareness. However, the most recent outing shows he can handle an inside draw. With Rileys Rex posting inconsistent form (4-2-2-3-3 including recent bumps at start and bend 1) and Putya Foot Down showing fragmented returns after a weight variation setback, Zesty Kiwi emerges as the clearest form horse.

NAP: Zesty Kiwi, Trap 1.

11:43 – Grade A2, 450m

Emers Noddy brings a potent recent record: won on 1 May at 2.63 odds, taking first by 2¼ lengths with a release and early pace (Rls,EP,LdRnUp). Before that sits a fourth at 2.38 odds (cramped bend 1), a third by narrow 2¼ at 5.00 odds, and a win by three-quarters at 5.50 from trap 2. The dog has banked three wins in the last four outings and shows an ability to lead early and hold on. Trap 1 carries a 22% win rate at this track over 450m, middling but not prohibitive for a dog showing this class. Moulton Debbie has collapsed to 6-5-5-1-4 form: the single win came eight days ago but is sandwiched between recent fifths and a sixth, suggesting inconsistency at A2. Blackeyed Keyes, running from trap 3, shows 3-1-2-4-3 form with a recent win at A3 from trap 4, but drops back into A2 here without recent A2 wins in the last two months. Emers Noddy’s momentum, recent success on this track, and multiple A2 wins inside three weeks clinch this race.

NAP: Emers Noddy, Trap 1.

13:08 – Grade A3, 450m

Timmys Duo arrives with a 2-3-1-1-5 form string showing two wins in the last four outings: took first on 20 April by 1½ lengths (Rls-Mid,Ld4) and again on 15 April by 3 lengths (Rls-Mid,LdRnUp). The dog settled mid-race, built a lead, and held on. Most recent outing shows a second by 5 lengths on 1 May with a carded bump at bend 1, suggesting tight racing but no loss of ability. Timmys Duo sits at trap 2, where the track data shows a 20% win rate, balanced and serviceable. Marinas Monza has posted 5-1-5-4-1 form: two wins but sandwiched between out-of-form runs, including a fifth by 16¾ just two weeks back. Marlfield Rapido shows a 4-2-3-2-1 string, with a recent win on 6 April but no recent A3 wins and inconsistent finishes. Timmys Duo’s back-to-back A3 wins, proven ability to lead and hold off challengers in this grade, and positive recent form (second with bumped start is minor) make this the standout selection.

NAP: Timmys Duo, Trap 2.

14:14 – Grade A2, 450m

Knockbroganexile has delivered three A2 wins in the last 25 days: won by a nose on 29 April at 8.00 odds (Rls,SnLd), won by 1 on 5 April at 2.50 (ALd), and won by 1½ on 29 March at 2.75 (Rls-Mid,ALd). The dog runs from trap 1 (22% win rate) with a release and early pace pattern that works. The form string reads 1-5-6-1-1: two poor runs at A1 level in mid-April (bumped bend 1 and 1/4) frame the wins, suggesting the dog is better suited to A2. Anglesey Exile shows 1-2-6-2-3 form with a recent win at A3 (by 5 lengths on 1 May, Rls-Mid,ALd), but drops up to A2 here and has a poor run at Newcastle on 14 April at IT level (6 by 7½). Lynnia Ranger posts 3-1-1-6-(-1) form: recent third by 3¾ shows form, but the December blank and April sixth indicate vulnerability. Knockbroganexile’s three A2 wins in three weeks, trap 1 suitability, and proven release-and-lead tactic edge out the opposition at this grade.

NAP: Knockbroganexile, Trap 1.

Meeting Overview

The full card spans A2 and A3 grades across 12 races at 450m, a standard distance and one where Sunderland’s trap 4 shows notable advantage at 27% win rate. Trap 1 holds steady at 22%, making early pace and release tactics relevant for dogs in those boxes. The feature races selected represent strong form angles: recent winners, consistent A-grade dogs, and track-proven runners hitting form curves.

Punters’ Note

Check SPs 15 minutes to race time for best value; Betfair and Bet365 offer the keenest greyhound odds. Forecast markets are popular on Sunderland cards: consider reverse forecast plays where mid-field traps like 3 and 4 offer each-way appeal against shorter-priced trap 1 and 2 runners.
