Towcester Greyhound Racing Tips: Wednesday 6 May 2026
Towcester stages 12 races on Wednesday with first race at 11:14 on its sand surface. The Northamptonshire venue is known as a stayers' track, and this card features exclusively 500m contests across four feature races.
11:30 - Grade A5, 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Savana Kommeno (D, 3y, P Tsirigotis)
- Trap 2: Last Race Toni (B, 2y, A Welch)
- Trap 3: Makeit Rufus (D, 1y, F Gray)
- Trap 4: Salacres Sahara (D, 1y, P Harnden)
- Trap 5: Flee From Gossip (B, 5y, V Lea)
- Trap 6: Run Kirstie Run (B, 3y, A Welch)
Savana Kommeno shows a compelling recent record at Towcester in this grade. Two wins from the last five runs, including a hard-fought head victory on 15 April from Trap 1, and a smooth win on 8 April from Trap 2 where the dog showed very sharp away speed. The form string reads 31331 (left to right), with the most recent three results showing 3-3-1: consistent, and a winner. Trap 1 statistics at Towcester 500m are strong at 21% win rate over 21 days. NAP: Savana Kommeno, Trap 1.
12:53 - Grade A4, 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Ballymac Nats (B, 1y, A Kibble)
- Trap 2: El Prez Elsie (B, 2y, V Lea)
- Trap 3: Claim The Stars (D, 3y, A Welch)
- Trap 4: Salacres Prodigy (D, 3y, P Harnden)
- Trap 5: Antigua Bubble (D, 3y, A Welch)
- Trap 6: Salacres Brendan (D, 2y, P Harnden)
Claim The Stars is the standout form horse in this A4 field. Recent record at Towcester in Grade A4 shows a win on 25 March (by dead heat margin, from Trap 3, quick away, leading into the third bend), bracketed by two place finishes. The dog is experienced at this track and grade and has shown enough early pace to overcome the middle-trap draw. Form reads 51231 with a winning strike at the right end. Limited form data is available for most of the field, making Claim The Stars the most reliable guide. NAP: Claim The Stars, Trap 3.
13:26 - Grade A6, 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Boherash Jani (B, 4y, D Porter)
- Trap 2: Romeo Time Out (D, 1y, L Tuffin)
- Trap 3: Ballymac Nuna (B, 1y, A Kibble)
- Trap 4: Eagles Dream (B, 2y, A Kibble)
- Trap 5: Garnacho Girl (B, 3y, A Ioannou)
- Trap 6: Salacres Sydney (D, 4y, P Harnden)
Romeo Time Out offers the best recent form guide in this A6 race. The dog won on 17 April from Trap 2 in Grade A7, showing early crowding but quick recovery to lead into the fourth bend. The three-run sample is brief but shows one win and two competitive fourth/fifth placings. Boherash Jani has course form and a win at this grade on 1 April from Trap 1, but recent runs show five and four placings, suggesting a slight decline in form. Romeo Time Out's upward trajectory and recent winning form make it the NAP choice despite limited data on most of the field. NAP: Romeo Time Out, Trap 2.
13:58 - Grade A7, 500m
Runners:
- Trap 1: Scooby Gdynia (D, 3y, K Crocker)
- Trap 2: Beaming Odyssey (B, 1y, F Gray)
- Trap 3: Mustang Mania (B, 2y, V Lea)
- Trap 4: Choices Peridot (D, 3y, J Liles)
- Trap 5: Ballyea Hope (D, 1y, K Crocker)
- Trap 6: Unknown Biker (D, 4y, D Porter)
Mustang Mania displays the strongest recent form at Towcester in this grade. The dog won on 1 April (head victory, responding from the third bend challenge), and has three consecutive runs at the venue in A6/A7 company showing racing experience and mid-trap capability. Form reads 15445, with the most recent run a third-place finish over 1 length on 29 April. Scooby Gdynia has a win on 11 April but that came at A8 grade from Trap 1, and recent Trap 1 form at A7 shows a fifth place. NAP: Mustang Mania, Trap 3.

Punters' Note
Starting prices firm up sharply in the final 10 minutes before off time: check Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill for best greyhound pricing. Forecast and reverse forecast markets offer value on this card given competitive fields; backing two dogs across each race is a popular approach. Always confirm runners and trap numbers on your chosen bookmaker's website closer to race time, as occasional late declarations occur.
