Sunderland Greyhound Tips – Tuesday 16 June 2026
Sunderland hosts a 12-race card on Tuesday evening, with the first race at 18:37 and the final at 21:46. This North East venue offers consistent competitive racing with a loyal local following, and the sand surface has produced clear trap bias data over the last 60 days.
18:37 – Grade A4 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Willows Hope | 1y B | M K Bulmer | 563 |
| 2 | Fair Bolger | 2y D | Y Bell | 153 |
| 3 | Diddly Squat | 4y D | Y Bell | 511 |
| 5 | Eviesteel Hope | 2y B | M K Bulmer | No form |
| 6 | Speedy Rita | 1y B | D Blackbird | No form |
The opening race is a competitive A4 contest. Fair Bolger has secured two wins from his last five starts, most recently claiming victory at this track on 10 June with a decisive performance from Trap 2. His form string reads 15312, showing consistent finishes in the frame, and he has proven effective at the 450m trip. He will race from Trap 2 again tonight, a position that has delivered steady results on the Sunderland sand. Diddly Squat offers an alternative angle with three wins in his last five, but recent form shows mid-field creeping in and he has finished fifth in two of his last four outings. Fair Bolger’s recent consistency and proven track form make him the standout selection.
NAP: Fair Bolger, Trap 2.
20:01 – Grade A3 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rocks Anne | 2y B | E Lagan | 344 |
| 2 | Reneas Boy | 2y D | G Strike | 531 |
| 3 | Southwood Kitty | 2y B | P Miller | 421 |
| 4 | Whitburnwarriors | 4y B | M K Bulmer | No form |
| 5 | Drumcrow Arlow | 3y D | G Strike | No form |
| 6 | Stonepark Patsy | 4y D | S Linley | No form |
This A3 affair features Reneas Boy in strong recent form, with two wins from his last five including a decisive victory on 22 May from Trap 2. His form string of 54132 shows a slight dip recently with a missed break on 9 June, but his middle-to-rails running style has suited the Sunderland circuit. Rocks Anne has recorded one win in her last five and shows inconsistency, whilst Southwood Kitty claimed a narrow success on 26 May but has since struggled with bumping at the start. Reneas Boy’s recent winning form and proven consistency at this grade make him the logical choice.
NAP: Reneas Boy, Trap 2.
20:19 – Grade A2 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Santiago Gogo | 1y D | C Jackson | 213 |
| 2 | Noirs Rita | 2y B | E Lagan | 113 |
| 3 | Blackstone Tino | 2y D | G Strike | 141 |
| 4 | Market Lough | 2y D | P Miller | No form |
| 5 | Divas Girl | 1y B | D Blackbird | No form |
A competitive A2 race where Noirs Rita emerges as the standout performer. She has won her last two races at consecutive meetings on 2 and 9 June, both from Trap 2, with a form string reading 13134. She showed early speed awareness and led throughout in her most recent outing, claiming victory by half a length at 2.88 odds. This bitch is clearly in peak form at the right grade. Santiago Gogo has recorded one win from five starts and appears vulnerable to the task here, whilst Blackstone Tino, despite a recent victory on 7 June, was poorly drawn in Trap 3 and has shown mid-field tendencies. Noirs Rita’s back-to-back wins and trap consistency from Trap 2 mark her as the clear selection.
NAP: Noirs Rita, Trap 2.
19:44 – Grade A1 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Knockbroganexile | 2y B | C McNicholas | 342 |
| 3 | Cunnigar King | 3y D | M K Bulmer | 3-11 |
| 4 | Cloheena Bully | 2y D | C Jackson | 514 |
| 5 | Cloncunny Black | 3y D | M K Bulmer | No form |
| 6 | Ridgemount Ruth | 4y B | E Lagan | No form |
This is the meeting’s headline A1 race. Cloheena Bully, a two-year-old from the yard of C Jackson, has recorded one win from her last five starts but carries vital recent form from Trap 4. She won decisively on 2 June and has finished in the frame in three of her last five outings. Crucially, Trap 4 has shown the strongest winning percentage at Sunderland 450m over the past 21 days at 27 per cent, well clear of other positions. Cloheena Bully will race from that advantageous draw tonight. Knockbroganexile shows recent wins at this level but has managed only one win from five starts and suffered a bad trap on his most recent outing on 2 June. Cunnigar King has limited recent data and was lame in March, making him a poor proposition here. Cloheena Bully’s trap bias advantage and recent form profile make her the NAP selection.
NAP: Cloheena Bully, Trap 4.
