Towcester Greyhound Tips – Friday, 19 June 2026
Towcester hosts 12 races on Friday, with the opening race at 14:23 and the card concluding at 17:49. This Northamptonshire sand track is known for rewarding stayers, and today’s feature races at 500m should provide consistent racing across the A4 to A7 grades.
15:19 – Grade A4, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Drohobych Galaxy | 2y D | S Rayner | 212 |
| 2 | As Happy As Bryn | 1y D | H Dimmock | 533 |
| 3 | Romeo In Orbit | 1y D | L Tuffin | 13 |
| 4 | Limerick Boy | 2y D | R Baker | No form |
| 5 | Vinegarhill Blue | 3y D | A Ioannou | No form |
| 6 | Knockard Joe | 3y D | P Philpott | No form |
Romeo In Orbit emerges as the standout selection in this competitive A4 contest. The young dog trained by L Tuffin shows electric recent form: a decisive win at A5 level on 12 June at Towcester by 1ยผ lengths (odds 2.88), followed by a 3rd place finish at the same grade five days earlier. Both runs came from Trap 2, but he is drawn in Trap 3 today. The form reading “MidRnUp,QAw,ALd” on the winning run shows he has the early pace to get to the front and the class to hold rivals. Drohobych Galaxy, in Trap 1, ran a creditable 2nd from the same grade just last week, but at 2 years old Romeo In Orbit’s trajectory and proven 500m winning ability give him the edge. Trap 1 at Towcester 500m carries a 21% strike rate over the past 21 days, but Romeo In Orbit’s recent A5 win suggests he will manage the switch. NAP: Romeo In Orbit, Trap 3. Look for forecast value pairing him with Drohobych Galaxy.
16:16 – Grade A6, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Salacres Elmejor | 4y D | P Harnden | 254 |
| 2 | Last Race Toni | 2y B | A Welch | 416 |
| 3 | Klassical Hoffa | 2y D | N J Deas | 331 |
| 4 | Sonic Angel | 2y B | S Rayner | No form |
| 5 | Dairyland Jimmy | 1y D | R Baker | No form |
| 6 | Ballycleary Bono | 3y D | D Porter | No form |
Klassical Hoffa is the pick here, a young dog trained by N J Deas who is building form at this level. His most recent outing on 12 June saw him finish 3rd at A6 from Trap 3, just 2ยพ lengths behind the winner. Before that, he posted a decisive 270m win on 30 May, and the form string shows “Mid,EP,SnLd” across his last two runs, indicating he has early pace and the ability to lead into bends. At 2 years old, he is still improving, and the mid-trap draw (Trap 3 again today) suits his running style. Salacres Elmejor, in Trap 1, has been consistent and finished 2nd at this grade six days ago from the same trap, but Klassical Hoffa’s upward trajectory and proven A6 placement form him the fresher option. NAP: Klassical Hoffa, Trap 3. Consider reverse forecasts with Salacres Elmejor.
16:41 – Grade A7, 500m
Salacres May presents the strongest case in a tightly graded A7 field. Trainer P Harnden’s charge finished 2nd at this exact grade just three days ago on 12 June, beaten only 1ยฝ lengths, and her form reads “Rls-Mid,RnOnWll” – running on well and staying on the line suggests the pace suits her. She has been placed three times at A7 in recent outings and shows the consistency required to trouble the winner. Pavilion Luveen, in Trap 3, won at A8 level on 22 May and has shown glimpses of class, but recent placings at A7 (4th and 6th) suggest she may be struggling at the higher grade. Salacres May’s recent 2nd place at this level and rails-to-middle running style give her the edge. NAP: Salacres May, Trap 2. Forecast markets offer value here given the close margins typically seen at A7.
17:31 – Grade A5, 500m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Salacres Frankie | 3y B | P Harnden | 512 |
| 2 | Fabulous Electra | 4y B | L Tuffin | 331 |
| 3 | El Prez Elsie | 2y B | V Lea | 356 |
| 4 | You Win Again | 3y D | H Dimmock | No form |
| 5 | Dakota Gold | 1y B | A Ioannou | No form |
| 6 | Fifis Lad | 3y D | D Porter | No form |
Fabulous Electra, trained by L Tuffin, is the standout pick in this A5 showdown. The 4-year-old mare is unexposed at this grade but carries a strong recent record: a 3rd place finish on 5 June at A5 from Trap 2, and a 1st place win on 15 May at A6 level, also from Trap 2, by 1 length. The form commentary “Rls,EP,Crd&Ld1” shows she has early pace and the ability to lead entering the first bend. At Trap 2 today, she lands in a 18% strike rate trap at 500m, and given her rails-running style (“Rls” recurring in her form) and Towcester record, she should be competitive. Salacres Frankie, in Trap 1, carries a 21% strike rate advantage but has less form depth at A5, with recent results including a 5th place finish on 11 June. NAP: Fabulous Electra, Trap 2. Forecast pairs with Salacres Frankie offer good value.
Meeting Overview
The full 12-race card spans A4 through A7 grades on sand, with all feature races at the stayers’ trip of 500m. Towcester’s track bias shows Trap 1 commanding a 21% strike rate, but today’s form guides suggest three out of four feature race winners will come from middle draws (Traps 2-3), where recent placed horses have gained their form.
Punters’ Note
Odds will firm significantly in the 20 minutes before each race. Check SP at Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet or William Hill for the tightest prices.
