Valley Greyhound Tips – Tuesday 16 June 2026
Valley Greyhound Stadium in Swansea hosts a 13-race card on Tuesday afternoon, with first race at 13:49 and final race at 17:29. Wales’s busiest greyhound venue delivers consistent competitive racing, and today’s feature races across A3 to A6 grades offer solid betting angles for punters.
14:26 – Grade A3, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clongeel Bono | 2y D | C Darch | 232 |
| 2 | Crokers Lady | 3y B | S Howard | 155 |
| 3 | Hawkfield Tiktok | 2y D | D S Davy | 342 |
| 4 | Choctawhatate | 4y D | D S Davy | No form |
| 5 | Crokers Ocean | 2y D | C Darch | No form |
This A3 is headlined by Crokers Lady, who broke through at this track and grade last time out on 9 June, winning from Trap 3 at 8.00. However, she’s drawn Trap 2 today and has shown vulnerability away from the middle trap, finishing fifth on the rail on 2 and 28 May. Hawkfield Tiktok from Trap 3 is the standout. The two-year-old has been consistent at A3 and A4 level, notching a win from Trap 3 on 19 May and back-to-back places at this track and grade. Form reads 32213, indicating recent improvement. Trap 3 is the best trap on the 460m at Valley over the last 60 days (23% win rate), and Tiktok’s quick away and middle-ground running style suits it perfectly. Clongeel Bono from Trap 1 is quick but has posted only minor placings at A2 level and faces a step up in class.
NAP: Hawkfield Tiktok, Trap 3. Look for forecast value pairing Tiktok with Crokers Lady in the second spot.
15:22 – Grade A4, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Crokers Brian | 2y D | S Howard | 163 |
| 2 | Baggios Dilemma | 3y B | J A Danahar | 446 |
| 3 | Mongys Sydney | 2y D | A N Morgan | 124 |
| 4 | Cefn Osian | 1y D | D S Davy | No form |
| 5 | Puckane Ceol | 4y B | A N Morgan | No form |
Crokers Brian from Trap 1 arrives in excellent form, winning his last two outings including a five-length victory from Trap 2 on 9 June at A5 level. He’s shown he can handle A4 and A3 company (Sheffield A3 500m win in May). However, Trap 1 at Valley 460m carries only a 14% strike rate, making him vulnerable to a repeat. Mongys Sydney in Trap 3 posted a narrow win from Trap 2 on 11 June at A5, with form reading 12441. He’s young (two years old), improving, and Trap 3’s 23% efficiency is a significant edge. His quick-away profile and middle-ground running fit the trap perfectly. He’s four kilos lighter than Crokers Brian and sharper at the moment.
NAP: Mongys Sydney, Trap 3. Consider reverse forecast with Brian to capitalise on the younger dog’s current trajectory.
16:18 – Grade A6, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Billis Sniper | 2y D | G Wright | 321 |
| 2 | Rockstar Johnny | 1y D | S Chappell | 553 |
| 3 | Imgoodiam | 3y D | J A Danahar | 534 |
| 4 | A Touch Of Class | 1y B | D S Davy | No form |
| 5 | Rolo Buttons | 2y B | S Pilgrim | No form |
Billis Sniper has the form credentials: a recent A6 win on 20 May from Trap 2 and three consecutive places across A5 and A6. However, he’s drawn Trap 1, which suffers from the poorest trap bias on the card at just 14%. Imgoodiam from Trap 3 is limited in recent form (five consecutive placings down to fifth), but Trap 3’s 23% advantage is hard to ignore. He showed promise at A5 with a second-place finish on 21 May from this trap. Rockstar Johnny (Trap 2) is erratic with five fifth-place finishes in his last six outings.
NAP: Billis Sniper, Trap 1. Despite the trap bias, his recent A6 pedigree and consistency make him the safer choice; forecast with Imgoodiam for security.
16:56 – Grade A6, 460m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sondicow | 4y D | P T Maynard | 535 |
| 2 | Crokers Music | 1y B | J A Danahar | 352 |
| 3 | Coding | 2y B | C Darch | 511 |
| 4 | Riverside Chilli | 4y B | S Pilgrim | No form |
| 5 | Hawkfield Ellie | 2y B | D S Davy | No form |
| 6 | Metric Buster | 2y D | G Wright | No form |
Coding from Trap 3 is the standout here. She’s dropped down from A5 and has won two sprint races over 260m (2 and 28 May), both from Trap 4, showing speed and sharpness. At 460m, Trap 3’s 23% win rate offers genuine edge. She’s young (two years old), improving, and her recent quick-away profile suggests she’ll handle the standard distance. Sondicow (Trap 1) is a four-year-old with moderate form and only a 14% trap advantage. Crokers Music (Trap 2) has mixed results across sprint and standard distances.
NAP: Coding, Trap 3. She brings speed, trap advantage, and recent upward form to a wide-open A6 contest.
Meeting Overview
Today’s card spans A3 down to A6, with all feature races at the standard 460m trip. There are no sprint or staying races in the feature selection, so punters should focus on form consistency and trap draw advantage at this middle distance where Trap 3 emerges as the clear statistical edge across a 21-day, 277-race sample.
Punters’ Note
Starting prices firm up 15-20 minutes before each race, so check boards near race time for best value. Betfair and Bet365 offer the most competitive markets for Valley racing. Forecast and reverse forecast betting is popular in six-runner fields; combine your NAPs with the secondary picks above for enhanced returns. The sand surface at Valley can favour dogs with strong early pace, so watch for quick-away comments in the form notes.
