Mark Rosanowski gives us his Greyhound racing tips and selections for all 12 races down the Whanganui Straight.
Kept coming to share a win over 520m on Friday. His third on debut here had merit & with that experience he should be able to handle this field at short odds.
Selections: 2-6-3-4
Showed good mid-race burn when second here a fortnight ago. With a cleaner beginning she could test 1 Taylor's Sport that won well at Hatrick on Friday but looked a little lost here on debut.
Selections: 6-1-5-7
Has placed in both his starts here including a narrow maiden defeat at the most recent straight track meeting. 2 Groot's Galaxy has a similar record & he should have won here on January 13 but didn't run hard through the line.
Selections: 1-2-4-7
Third behind two smart hounds here last start. This looks a good race for her.
Selections: 5-8-4-7
Got close to an unbeaten dog here at the last straight meet. Might have a fitness edge on 8 Loveable Rogue who has been the benchmark here & trialled in quick time a fortnight ago.
Selections: 5-8-7-4
Put away a good field here two starts back before his distant third at Cambridge when stepping into this class.
Selections: 6-5-8-3
Delivered on the downgrade at Hatrick despite an interrupted run. Goes well here so should put this field away at short odds.
Selections: 1-8-2-5
Ran clear to win easily over 520m on Friday. Was victorious the last time he raced here too.
Selections: 3-4-5-8
Unbeaten in three starts down the straight but he can be awkward early so dogs like 7 Bora Bora & 5 Big Time Vanilla come into this for quaddie value.
Selections: 3-7-5-4
Runner-up in a strange race here a fortnight ago & has been handy at Hatrick since. Looks well placed today but hasn't won since June. 7 Big Time Iggy isn't quite on top of her game but she might not have to be to take this.
Selections: 4-7-6-5
Talented chaser but has application troubles. Threw away a win here in December but has won a four-dog trial in a decent time since. Top2 play for the multi. 1 Big Time Gunnar won a maiden nicely at the last meeting here. Quadrella must.
Selections: 2-1-7-8
Another good placing here last time. Gets the nod in a field of low winning strike-rate chasers.
Selections: 4-7-8-2
Best: Cliff Top Vinnie
Next: Appleby Road
Value: Bora Bora
