Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 10 races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 15 October, 2024.
Broke through for an overdue maiden win at Cambridge. Moderate results here but can deliver a bonus win in the grade in this field. 4 Big Time Orson is on the improve. She broke 18 seconds here on Friday which would take her close today.
Selections: 2-4-7-5
Overcame another slow start to beat 2 Big Time Butler on Friday. She’s clearly the best in the field but another poor start could be costly from the squeeze box.
Selections: 4-2-7-5
Disappointing on the face of it at Cambridge but his three placings on this track have all had merit & two of them have been in better fields. Like him the 3, 4 & 5 want the rail while the 1 dog floats out so it could be a tricky watch early.
Selections: 2-5-3-8
Game win in this grade at Cambridge. Won his only sprint here & should again.
Selections: 4-6-5-2
Has been solid elsewhere since a super second behind Big time Sonic on this track. Each way value in an open affair. 1 Smoking Ivan finally gets a draw that can enable him to secure his first win here.
Selections: 6-1-8-7
Has early pace & needs to use that today so she can ease off the rail where she wants to be. 8 Big Time Brave has the early pace to threaten but might have to work hard around Super. Very competitive field.
Selections: 1-8-3-2
$300k winner is now a 4yo but proved he’s still got it with a swift win at Manawatu. Fourth in the group one Wanganui Cup the last time he stepped out here. 5 Brockie’s Luck has the ability to test the Master but is still very much the apprentice.
Selections: 6-5-7-8
Finally turned it on, on this track last start. Should carry on with it now.
Selections: 1-6-4-5
Big downgrade for her & she really should just be winning a race like this despite the grim looking formline. A repeat of 5 Big Time Brandy’s winning time from Friday takes her close again. 4 Opawa Jason trialed well enough here recently to include fresh up.
Selections: 6-5-4-2
Beat 1 Big Time Fern when winning the last time she stepped out on this track. Tempting each way odds in an open field. Probably need the top four at least in the quadrella.
Selections: 5-2-8-1
