Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 11 races at the Whanganui Straight Greyhounds meeting on Wednesday 4 September, 2024.
Has shown more ability than his opposition in his limited opportunities. New to this unique track is the only query. 3 Ambergris can boost exotics based on her third on a slow track here last month.
Selections: 1-3-5-8
Smart win in this class here two starts back then a close third last time. 2 Space Brockie has the most talent in the field but is unknown on the grass straight. Quaddie cover.
Selections: 6-2-7-1
Downgrades after an unlucky sixth when checking off the leader’s heels turning for home. Only fair here to date but should be prominent. 8 Beautiful Baloo was a touch unlucky when fourth on the circle. This scenario should suit him.
Selections: 6-8-3-4
Not sighted since July but his two placings on this track then were very good. Each way value. 5 We Ride has been good in both starts here & followed up with a sharp win in this class at Manawatu.
Selections: 7-5-6-8
6 Blackcurrant: in a handy line-up.
Selections: 6-8-1-5
Mixed results since a slick win early on here. At the right quote for an each way play. 7 Loveable Rogue is a noted wide runner that should appreciate the straight track & he has speed.
Selections: 1-7-2-5
Has been disappointing in her last couple here but gets the right field to bounce back. 3 Thrilling Issac has had limited racing but this track might be the key to unlock his potential.
Selections: 7-3-4-5
Third of five in his only start here had merit & he has been improving since. Going with in a decent field but liking the long odds of 3 Churn It Up for exotics.
Selections: 1-3-4-2
Has posted some fast times in defeat & just keeps finding one better. Maybe not today although 1 Vodka Reckon downgrades for his debut on this track.
Selections: 6-1-4-3
Followed up easy win here with a typically strong finish for second at Cambridge. Gets the narrow nod in a field that’s as open as the market suggests. Might need them all in the quadrella.
Selections: 6-7-3-4
His two wins here have been emphatic & fast. Takes on a talented field but he deserves favouritism.
Selections: 3-4-5-7
