Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 12 races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Friday 19 July, 2024.
Led throughout on debut at Manawatu on Tuesday posting a time just a fraction faster than 6 So Strict.
Selections: 4-6-7-8
Was knocked off balance when a distant third in a small field at Manawatu. Ran home well here last Friday. Lack of early speed is the only concern. 5 We Ride can begin better than he did last week so is worth including in the quaddie.
Selections: 4-5-2-3
Terrific mid-race pace got him home in this grade a week back then he pushed another smart youngster at Manawatu. 3 Big Time Fern is up in class but his early speed is superior to Murphy’s so looks the quaddie back-up.
Selections: 6-4-2-1
Strong win in this class last Friday then was a dominant victor on the grass straight track two days back. 5 Big Time Freda has good early pace although she’s battling at the business end at present.
Selections: 2-5-4-6
Was able to win a c4 race from a similar trap three back & has posted two good placings since from low draws. 7 Goldstar Hans ran into trouble when making his charge last Friday. Keep safe.
Selections: 5-7-6-1
Nailed right on the line by a strong dog. The 2 dog has early pace but will give him room.
Selections: 1-3-4-5
Picked up late by a talented youngster that has won again since. Should hold out this field.
Selections: 1-3-7-6
Contacted the rail early at Manukau then was cut off when challenging for the lead off the back straight. Can lead this field. 1 Rock It Rapper can get awkward at the first bend but the rest of his game is good.
Selections: 7-1-4-6
Up another class but she has high speed & continues to get stronger. 5 Big Time Roman is a recent downgrader that was bumped out of a good spot here a fortnight ago. Value.
Selections: 3-5-1-2
Ran to the line well when second in a slick race last Friday getting pat 5 Big Time Rua late.
Selections: 1-5-3-8
Led for a fair way in a quick race at Manawatu. Has a solid record here & has more early pace than the other two favoured contenders.
Selections: 8-2-5-7
Run down by two handy hounds after running a decent opening sectional. Could hold this field at bay although she wouldn’t want 2 Opawa Tesla anywhere near her.
Selections: 1-2-4-5
