Valley Greyhound Tips – Tuesday, 16 June 2026

Valley Greyhound Stadium in Swansea hosts 13 races across a busy Tuesday card, with first race at 13:49 and final race at 17:29. Wales’s busiest greyhound venue delivers consistent, competitive racing with a loyal local following.

14:26 – Grade A3 460m

A competitive A3 field with several contenders in recent form. Clongeel Bono (Trap 1) arrives off back-to-back placings at A2 level and has shown consistent ability, winning narrowly just over a week ago. However, trap 1 carries only 14 per cent strike rate on this card’s recent 460m data, the weakest of any draw.

Crokers Lady (Trap 2) won decisively last time out at this grade from trap 3 (8.00 odds), and while her recent record shows inconsistency with two fifth-place finishes, that latest success signals a return to form. Trap 2 sits at 22 per cent, a solid middle-ground draw.

The key runner is Hawkfield Tiktok (Trap 3). This two-year-old has placed consistently at A3/A4 over recent weeks, running 3-4-2-1-3 in form. Most importantly, trap 3 records the highest win percentage at 23 per cent on Valley’s 460m card. At only two years old, Tiktok represents the pace threat and trap advantage combination. NAP: Hawkfield Tiktok, Trap 3.

15:22 – Grade A4 460m

Crokers Brian (Trap 1) showed explosive form last race, leading from trap 2 and winning by five lengths at A5 level. His Sheffield record (two runs, one win) adds depth. However, like Clongeel Bono, trap 1 presents a draw disadvantage on Valley’s sand surface at this distance.

Mongys Sydney (Trap 3) is the standout here. This two-year-old won decisively three days ago from trap 2 at A5 level, holding on by a short head. The form string shows early placement success (Q-Aw, ALd, HldOn), and a recent second place from trap 3 at A5 demonstrates consistent ability. Trap 3’s 23 per cent strike rate again favours Sydney’s prospects. The dog is progressing through grades and suits the trap draw perfectly. NAP: Mongys Sydney, Trap 3.

16:18 – Grade A6 460m

Billis Sniper (Trap 1) won from trap 2 just over two weeks ago and followed with a narrow third from trap 4 at A5. The form shows consistent A5/A6 ability, but trap 1 proves problematic. Rockstar Johnny (Trap 2) carries a poor record with recent finishes of 5-5-3-2-4 across April and May; at only one year old, the dog is unexposed at this grade.

Imgoodiam (Trap 3) presents the best value. While recent finishes (5-3-4-2-3) lack a win, the form line shows steady progress at A5/A6 over the past month. The dog’s last second place from trap 3 at A5 indicates returning form, and trap 3’s superior statistics on this card make it the logical choice. NAP: Billis Sniper, Trap 1.

16:56 – Grade A6 460m

Sondicow (Trap 1) shows a troubling recent pattern with three consecutive fifth-place finishes and lacks a win in the last eight weeks. Crokers Music (Trap 2) switched recently from short distances (260m D-grade) to 460m and shows mixed results at A5/A6 level. Coding (Trap 3) is notably winless across recent 460m runs, though the dog has won twice at D3 260m level; a sharp sprinter but distance-form is concerning for a 460m contest.

This race lacks a standout candidate. Coding’s recent sprint victories suggest pace, but the drop-in to longer trips and lack of 460m success is notable. Among limited options, Coding (Trap 3) offers a slight edge given sprint form and trap bias, though this remains an open race. NAP: Coding, Trap 3.

Meeting Overview

Valley’s Tuesday card spans grades A2 through A6 across 13 races, all at the standard 460m trip on sand. This is consistent, bread-and-butter greyhound racing with competitive fields and tight margins throughout. Trap 3 stands out as the standout draw at 23 per cent over the recent 21-day sample, with trap 4 the weakest at 11 per cent.

Punters’ Note

Check starting prices in the 15 minutes before each race; odds firm quickly on Valley cards given local betting support. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer strong greyhound markets. Forecast betting is popular on six-runner fields, especially in mid-card races where odds-against combinations offer value. Monitor trap bias data closely on sand surfaces, where inside draws often suffer congestion into bends.
