Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all eight races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 6 August, 2024.
Easily the best credentialled dog in the field although he was disappointing when stepped up to 650m at Cambridge last month. Not prepared to risk him at home though. 3 Long Non White was run down from in front over 650m last week. Her second on this track the time before was a genuine black booker.
Selections: 4-3-7-5
Slow start was costly at Cambridge when heavily supported but the back end of his race had merit running into second. Looks the quaddie anchor in this line-up.
Selections: 6-3-4-8
Up in class but has found the winning groove & posted a quick time a week ago. 5 Big Time Dixie got her start wrong at Cambridge but she’s unbeaten in three here. 8 Opawa Jordan was good against some c3s last Tuesday. Handy field.
Selections: 3-5-8-6
Smart starts have set up her slick wins in this class in her last two assignments. 5 Big Time Coal has paid for his slow trapping at Cambridge but worth remembering he led all the way on debut here & clocked a slashing time.
Selections: 6-5-2-3
Solid third from a tricky trap seven days ago. Picked up her maiden win on this track from the same draw. 6 Run Away Blue & 7 Bow Anns both come out of a fast race in this class.
Selections: 2-6-7-1
Found bother when handy to the pace in a much stronger field last week. No surprise to see money for her.
Selections: 2-7-8-4
Gutsy second behind a strong dog at Cambridge. Small in stature but not heart. 2 Uber Time has taken strong money in the market after her win in this grade at Hatrick on Friday.
Selections: 5-2-8-6
Nabbed late by a form dog last time. The concern again is her angling into dogs from a wide alley. 4 Big Time Terry was good in the straight in the same race last week.
Selections: 8-4-3-6
Continues to blaze a trail wherever he goes but he was all out to beat 6 Big Time Bam at Hatrick last start & it should be a good showdown again.
Selections: 3-6-7-8
Beat a hot shot in a breakout performance here a week back. Wider draw today but the 5 dog should help in the early rush. 2 Big Time Carly continued her love affair with this track inc4 company. Has performed well at the top level before. 4 Big Time Meghan trialled well at Hatrick suggesting a quality resuming run is pending.
Selections: 4-2-6-7
Delivered on the downgrade as expected on Friday & his record here is excellent.
Selections: 6-1-3-2
Back to his best track against easier company over a trip that looks made for him.
Selections: 6-8-3-4
