Sunderland Greyhound Tips – Monday 22 June 2026
Sunderland’s sand surface hosts a full 12-race card on Monday afternoon, with the first race away at 14:29. The North East venue attracts a loyal following and consistently competitive fields across the grades.
14:48 – Grade A4 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Corbrack Amigo | 4y D | J Teal | 212 |
| 3 | Droopys Pamela | 3y B | C McNicholas | 334 |
| 4 | Real Action | 1y D | J Sutherst | 144 |
| 5 | Stonepark Patsy | 4y D | S Linley | No form |
| 6 | Noirs Primrose | 4y B | J Teal | No form |
Real Action dominates the recent form sheet in this A4 contest. The 1-year-old, trained by J Sutherst, has won one of the last five outings and lands in Trap 4, which shows a commanding 27% strike rate at Sunderland over the past 21 days. Real Action’s last run on 15 June was a decisive success from this trap, leading from the third bend and holding on by 2 lengths at odds of 3.00. The dog has returned to winning form after a brief dip and shows consistent middle-ground running style that suits the bias perfectly. Corbrack Amigo (Trap 1) posted a recent second but faces a tougher test stepping up into this field.
NAP: Real Action, Trap 4. The middle-trap advantage aligns with recent Sunderland data, and this young dog has the form momentum to exploit it.
15:07 – Grade A5 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trumpers Calvin | 2y D | J Sutherst | 545 |
| 2 | Lillys A Lady | 2y B | C McNicholas | 136 |
| 3 | Soulwax | 2y B | Y Bell | 666 |
| 4 | Rosstemple Ben | 1y D | P Miller | No form |
| 5 | Roisins Angel | 2y B | P Miller | No form |
Lillys A Lady (Trap 2) supplies the strongest recent evidence in an otherwise thin A5 field. The 2-year-old, handled by C McNicholas, claimed victory on 15 June in the A6 grade by 3 lengths, advancing from Trap 1 and demonstrating quick getaway and lead management. Before that, she won by a half-length on 18 May from Trap 2 at A5 level. While limited data exists for some rivals, Lillys A Lady’s two wins in the last month and clean recent record make her the safest choice. Trumpers Calvin and Soulwax both show patchy recent form, with the latter having travelled to Irish tracks earlier in the year.
NAP: Lillys A Lady, Trap 2. Two wins in four weeks at or near this grade, and settled form from the second trap.
15:26 – Grade A3 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lady Miami | 3y B | G Strike | 114 |
| 2 | Moulton Debbie | 2y B | Y Bell | 534 |
| 4 | Church St Katie | 3y B | P Miller | 445 |
| 5 | Drumcrow Arlow | 3y D | G Strike | No form |
| 6 | Wiltshire | 4y D | Y Bell | No form |
Lady Miami (Trap 1) has recorded back-to-back wins on 15 and 9 June, both by narrow margins at A3 and A4 level. The 3-year-old bitch, trained by G Strike, shows consistent rails-to-middle running and has proved she can handle the A3 grade. However, Sunderland’s trap bias heavily favours the middle lanes: Trap 4 recorded a 27% win rate over 21 days, compared to just 22% for Trap 1. Church St Katie (Trap 4) sits in the premium trap and secured a dominant victory from this exact draw on 27 May by 6.75 lengths in the A3 grade. Although her form has dipped since, the trap advantage and proven A3 capability remain significant. The data suggests Church St Katie’s access to Trap 4 offsets Lady Miami’s recent momentum.
NAP: Church St Katie, Trap 4. The 27% trap bias at Sunderland 450m is decisive, and her 27 May A3 win from this draw is the blueprint.
15:44 – Grade A5 450m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marinas Calgary | 3y D | G Strike | 123 |
| 2 | Kilbannon Oisin | 4y D | D Blackbird | 422 |
| 3 | Lightfoot Sadie | 3y B | S Linley | 312 |
| 4 | Who Knows It | 1y B | P Miller | No form |
| 6 | Barnfield Chief | 3y B | P Miller | No form |
Marinas Calgary (Trap 1) has won one of the last six outings, claiming the A6 grade on 14 June by 1.5 lengths with a rails-to-middle run and strong finish in the home straight. The 3-year-old male, trained by G Strike, shows consistent placing and has finished second twice in recent outings at this grade level, indicating he sits comfortably in A5 company. Kilbannon Oisin (Trap 2) also has a recent second from 7 June at A5, but his form at Newcastle last time (4th in HP) suggests he may be stepping back down. Lightfoot Sadie (Trap 3) notched an emphatic sprint win on 9 June at D3 (261m), but the jump to 450m and A5 grade represents a significant challenge for a dog who has only raced middle distances sparingly.
NAP: Marinas Calgary, Trap 1. The most consistent recent A5 performer with a proven win at this grade in the last month.
Meeting Overview
Monday’s card spans A3 to A5 grades across all feature races, with no sprint or staying distances listed. The sand surface is consistent throughout, and Sunderland’s 450m standard trip dominates. Punters should monitor trap draw advantage, particularly Trap 4’s statistically dominant 27% win rate.
