Towcester Greyhound Tips – 28 May 2026

Towcester’s sand surface hosts 12 races on Thursday afternoon, with the track’s characteristic stayers card in full effect. First race at 14:36, last at 18:02.

15:13 – Grade A7, 500m

Blue Sparta has struggled badly in recent starts, posting five fourth and fifth-place finishes across his last five outings from Trap 1. Despite trap bias favouring the inside (21% win rate over 60 days), his form string reads 55255 – consistently finding trouble or lacking pace at this grade. Salacres May shows patchy form from middle traps and doesn’t inspire confidence either.

NAP: Mustang Mania, Trap 3. This two-year-old has delivered excellent recent form, finishing 2-2-6-3-4 with two consecutive seconds last time (21 and 14 May at 2.63 and 2.88 odds). The middle trap suits her running style (noted as EP and RnOn in recent races), and she’s proven competitive at A7 level. Strong claims from the middle gate.

17:24 – Grade A6, 500m

Flickering Belle has battled at this grade without success, posting 4-4-5-4-5 in her last five runs, all from Trap 2. Form comments show she’s consistently being crowded (Crd) and sliding back, suggesting she lacks the pace for A6. Great Time offers more promise with a recent win (14 May, A7, 500m, 1 by 1 length at 5.50 odds), but that was at A7, not A6.

NAP: Happy Ever After, Trap 3. This five-year-old has show concrete form recently, winning on 30 April (A8, 500m) and posting 4-1-3-5-2 in her last five races. From the middle trap at A6, she’s well-suited to settle and run on. Clear jumping and strong closing notes in her form make her a solid selection for the grade.

17:43 – Grade A3, 500m

This is a competitive A3 field. Faypoint Harlow is unexposed at the higher grade, having only recently moved from A4, with a recent form of 4-1-5-5 and one in-season absence. Salacresvictoria has been consistently placed (2-2-3-5-6) and shows early pace (EP noted), finishing second twice in her last two races at A3 from Trap 1.

NAP: In My Life, Trap 3. The two-year-old has demonstrated consistent form at A3, posting 2-3-2-3-2 in her last five runs. Multiple finishes in the places and strong recent efforts (2nd by three lengths on 21 May, 2nd by half a length on 7 May) show she’s hitting top form. From the middle trap, she’s able to track the pace and strike late, which suits her running style perfectly.

16:47 – Grade A2, 500m

Maggie Bombastic carries poor recent form (5-3-6-3-1 over last five races) and showed no sparkle in her last outing on 17 May from Trap 1, finishing fifth and being crowded. Trap 1 has a 21% win rate at this track, but form trumps draw bias. Haverhill Lass is solidly placed at A2 with a recent 2-4-4-1-4 record, winning from Trap 4 on 26 April (by head).

NAP: Raparee Yulia, Trap 3. This two-year-old is clearly the form horse in the race, posting 1-3-2-2-3 in her last five races, all at A2 or A3 grade at Towcester. Her most recent run (22 May, A3, 500m) was a commanding win by two lengths at 2.88 odds. She breaks quickly (QAw noted) and leads into the first bend, then has the pace to hold on. Trap 3 is neutral at this track, and her form is superior to rivals.

Meeting Overview

A typical Towcester stayers card with grades ranging from A2 down to A7, all over the 500m trip. This sand track favours trap 1 (21% win rate) and trap 6 (21% win rate) equally over the last 60 days, with traps 2 and 3 at 18% – a fairly balanced surface without extreme bias.
