Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 12 races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Friday 27 September, 2024.
Won a qualifying trial in a swift 17.57s last Friday heading home his sister Streets of Paris comfortably. 520m shouldn’t be a problem on breeding. 5 She’s Ready is ready to break maiden status but may have to wait until Wednesday.
Selections: 8-5-7-6
Clocked 17.86s when third in More Magic’s qualifying trial. Only 5 Thrilling Nelly looks capable of that at present. Winner comes from those two.
Selections: 2-5-6-7
Clearly superior on ability so should live up to his name. Quadrella anchor & multi-builder.
Selections: 2-6-5-4
Unlucky last week running out of room when a likely challenger. Finds the right race to record her tenth career win. 1 Big Time battle downgrades. It’s a battle to find him on the right day but surely he’s up for the fight in this field.
Selections: 2-1-5-6
Has been the dominant sprinter here over the last fortnight. There were no excuses for his rivals last week so sticking with the same result.
Selections: 6-8-1-5
Returns to a track where he has run some swift times & been group one placed. Speed either side of him so he will have to be at his best early. Has swapped results with 6 Fool Me Once at Manawatu lately. 7 Space Tron looks the value after his distant but eye-catching third last Friday.
Selections: 5-7-6-4
Beat a better field in this grade last week so should be on repeat.
Selections: 7-3-8-4
Forgive last start failure as he was squeezed back to last then ran into further trouble when trying to improve. Bold third this course & distance the time before might be the best pointer in an open affair. 3 Big Time Ultra downgrades & draws closest to the rail. On of the best opportunities to back the TAB rug on bonus back night.
Selections: 5-3-8-4
Might have won here last week if he hadn’t tangled on the turn when challenging. Was leaned all over in the early rush at Manawatu. Deserves some better luck & a winning turn.
Selections: 2-4-6-7
Downgraded & delivered in this class at Manawatu. Races this track well enough to grab the bonus win but it’s a talented field. Might need the top four on one ticket in the quaddie.
Selections: 1-7-5-4
Enhanced her impressive record on this track with a win last Friday in a quick enough time to contain this field.
Selections: 4-5-2-1
Was hassled all the way to the first bend when favourite. Now finds himself as the only c3 in a c2 field & a cleaner run looks assured.
Selections: 1-4-7-3
