Sunderland Greyhound Tips – Friday 12 June 2026

Sunderland hosts a 12-race card from 18:23 to 22:03 on Friday evening, with four feature races across OR2 and A-grade competitions on the sand surface.

18:23 – Grade OR2 450m

This is a competitive open-race opener. Keefill Mo, trained by P Milner, arrives on the back of a recent OR win at Sunderland (2 June, Trap 1, beaten 10¼ lengths but with form notes suggesting a bad break). The dog showed promise with a win at Doncaster (23 May, Trap 1, invitation grade) and is improving through the grades. However, trap draw here is Trap 3, which historically shows only 10% win rate at Sunderland 450m over the past 21 days. Anglesey Exile, trained by D Blackbird, has recent A2 form at Sunderland and won an A3 race on 17 May from Trap 1 (odds 2.75). The dog shows rails-running preference and has posted two narrow seconds in recent A2 outings (6 June and 1 June). Trap 2 offers 20% historical strike rate here.

NAP: Anglesey Exile, Trap 2. Recent form across Sunderland A2 and A3 grades shows consistency, with two narrow defeats suggesting imminent success. Trap 2 is above the card average, and rails-to-middle running style suits this trip.

18:43 – Grade OR2 450m

Keefill Walker, trained by P Milner, won here just three days ago (5 June, Trap 2, OR grade, by 3¾ lengths) with a rails-to-middle run and late drive noted. The dog is in sharp form: an earlier win at Doncaster (16 May, Trap 2, invitation grade, by 7 lengths) and a close second (9 May, Trap 3, 7¾ lengths adrift) show consistent racing at this level. Trap 2 assignment tonight plays to this dog’s recent success and sits at 20% win rate for the track at this distance. Romeo Victor, trained by T Heilbron, has laboured in recent Newcastle outings and suffered a fall on 7 May, making recovery uncertain.

NAP: Keefill Walker, Trap 2. Three-day repeat engagement from a winning OR run at this track in the same trap, with proven consistency across invitation and OR grades. Current form peaks here.

21:23 – Grade A3 450m

Damn Good, trained by Y Bell, has been climbing the grades steadily. Recent form reads: 1 June (A4, 450m, won by 1¼), 19 May (A5, 450m, won by 5½), and before that a close 2nd at A3 level (3 June, Trap 4, beaten by a shadow). The dog’s run of two back-to-back wins from lower grades into A3 is significant, though the 3 June second suggests this grade is competitive. Trap 3 carries just 10% strike rate at Sunderland 450m, a weakness. Emers Noddy, trained by D Blackbird, won at A3 on 26 May (Trap 1, 2.50 odds, by a shadow) and recently ran 4th at the same grade (3 June, Trap 2). The dog shows inconsistency: a 3rd at A2 (18 May) and 4th at A2 (10 May) suggest occasional battles. Marchon Kittymae, trained by P Miller, has posted three consecutive A3 placings: 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd over May into early June, all from middle or wider traps. This dog is overdue but trapped in Trap 2 (20% rate) with form favouring Trap 4 runs (where recent 2nds occurred).

NAP: Emers Noddy, Trap 1. A3 winner here on 26 May with a tight margin and proven rails-running success. Recent outing was from Trap 2 (where form slipped), but Trap 1 is where this dog won. Trap 1 shows 22% strike rate, above middle ground, and suits the dog’s profile.

22:03 – Grade A4 450m

Rebel William, trained by Y Bell, won last time out (31 May, Trap 4, A5 grade, by 1 length with mid-run strategy noted). The dog jumped two grades and is now at A4 from Trap 2, where form data is sparse at this track. However, prior A5 form (15 May and 20 May) includes a 2nd and a 5th, suggesting mid-range consistency rather than dominance. Blue Planet, trained by P Miller, shows a tight form line: four A4 outings in May produced a 5th, two 2nds, and a 3rd. The dog is well-suited to Trap 3, its most frequent assignment, and posted a narrow 2nd on 2 June (odds 4.00) from this gate. Trap 3 carries 10% strike rate here, a concern, but the dog’s recent narrow losses suggest improvement pending. Strike It Freya, trained by P Miller, is a 1-year-old with limited form: two recent A4 outings at Sunderland show 3rd and 4th finishes, with a 2nd at Irish venue (Youghal, A6 grade). Trap 1 shows 22% historical win rate.

NAP: Blue Planet, Trap 3. Tight recent form at A4 grade with two narrow 2nd-place finishes, suggesting a winner-in-waiting. The dog has raced frequently from Trap 3 and knows the track well. A mid-grade trap draw combined with proven consistency makes this the value play in the finale.

Meeting Overview

The 12-race Sunderland card spans grades A1 through A11, with four feature races at OR2 and A3/A4 level. All feature races are 450m trips on sand, making trap bias critical: Trap 4 shows a dominant 27% win rate, while Trap 3 underperforms at 10%. Punters should monitor for dogs with trap-specific edge.

Punters’ Note

Check starting prices around 20 minutes before each race; Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill all offer competitive greyhound odds. Forecast markets (1st and 2nd in order) are especially popular on the feature races and offer value where form suggests tight finishes. Consider reverse forecasts if backing narrow-margin dogs like Blue Planet and Marchon Kittymae.
