Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 11 races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 24 September, 2024.
Gunned down late over 520m by her brother 6 Our Boy Romeo on Friday. Was comfortably in front of 2 Cephalopod & Romeo prior to two bouts of interference here last week. Wide draw is the worry.

Doesn’t win often these days but was unlucky not to on Friday when turned sideways on the home bend when looking likely. 2 Miss Rangiora was third in the same race & has run decent times on this track. 3 Bow Bell Del is probably worth keeping safe in the quaddie in this field.
Selections: 1-2-3-5
Slashing second here before winning well in this class down the straight. Yet to win on this track but gets a great opportunity today.
Selections: 4-2-3-7
Went up with the lids last week so didn’t feature in the wet. Prior placing was good in a much stronger field beating home 2 Drunken Lullaby who is at attractive odds downgrading. Might need a spread in the quaddie.
Selections: 4-2-6-5
Found the rail after a slow start from this draw & did well for second. Can begin better & the smaller field helps.
Selections: 6-8-2-3
Has been racing well at Hatrick. Four of his six wins have been here. Spare box to his outside helps in an open field.
Selections: 4-3-2-7
Massive drop in class & he has been unlucky against top company. No excuses today although he meets a promising pup in 4 Big Time Favour who is on the up.
Selections: 2-4-6-7
Was jostled back to last then got past most of these dogs to finish a distant second a week ago. Should be a quadrella anchor.
Selections: 5-3-7-4
Dominant display from a closer draw last Tuesday. Has announced himself at the top level. 6 Alpha Rambo had his chance in the same race but the smaller field is a big plus for him.
Selections: 7-6-4-3
Began brilliantly but was run down by a talent over 410m. This shorter trip may suit her more at present.
Selections: 3-5-1-2
Comfortable win last week & can again but there’s two dogs drawn underneath her this week which there wasn’t last time. 8 Big Time Atlas makes a welcome return to a track where he has a super record. With the number of railers in this box 8 should set up nicely for him. 7 Smoking Ivan was a black book second to Lime & he had an excuse at Hatrick but these wide draws are hurting his statistics.
