Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 11 races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 18 June, 2024.
Ran a ripping time for his last start 520m win at Wanganui. Beat 4 Big Time Special this course/distance the time before. Has an excellent box 1 record despite him wanting to move away from the rail. 3 Space Tron is unbeaten in four starts over 660m.
Selections: 1-3-4-6
Brave win in this class on Friday from the same draw. Races well on this track & hasn’t been beaten in four sprint starts to date. Nice enough field but she should be a quaddie anchor.
Selections: 2-7-8-5
Has terrific box speed & it took a decent dog to run him down over 457m last week. Is the one to beat over this shorter trip despite the ability of 1 Big Time Lime.
Selections: 5-1-7-2
Cut back late by a promising pup at Cambridge when downgrading. 3 Space Brockie downgrades today so is a genuine threat.
Selections: 5-3-2-4
Up in class but ran a time here last week that would push this field. 6 Big Time Hinda downgrades after a fair fourth. In the mix but ran considerably slower than Uber Time here eight days ago.
Selections: 2-6-8-7
Took a while to clear maidens but she did it in some style in a time that none of her rivals have ever matched. Distant second in her bonus maiden over 520m was behind a potential freak. 2 Bow Bell Del has been racing well in stronger fields.
Selections: 1-2-6-7
Had a surprising amount of market support in a far stronger field on Friday & justified it with a solid second. Should be winning this on that effort.
Selections: 6-3-4-2
Heading for $300k in stakes after chasing He’s All Go home in the group one Waterloo Cup. Should anchor the late quaddie.
Selections: 5-8-1-4
Smart winner the last time she was here & her second at Manukau had merit. Opened at surprisingly tempting odds.
Selections: 3-4-7-1
Not winning often these days but has been competitive & gets a rare inside alley. 3 Big Time Vanilla steps up in class off the back of a career best performance. Looks up to this line-up. 2 Go Tina gets to start on the opposite side of the track to where she has been so is worth including at monster odds.
Selections: 1-3-2-7
Has recorded super times over 375m here recently & if anything the extra few metres are in his favour. Fine field to finish.
Selections: 5-3-6-1
