Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all nine races at the Whanganui Straight Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 22 October, 2024.
Put it all together at start six when winning from the front at Hatrick. Didn’t run through the line hard when third in his first race down the straight finishing behind 7 Short Stuff but he should be better for that experience.
Selections: 4-7-3-6
Beat 5 Speed Skater here when winning three starts back & she has had excuses since so her odds look generous compare to the favourite. Both are needed in the quaddie opener.
Selections: 3-5-2-8
Downgrades on the back of some useful efforts in better company. Likes this track. Each way value. 8 Reckless Eric beat 4 Churn It Up when they met here on October 8. He’s hard to catch on the right day but the odds are generous.
Selections: 7-8-4-6
Determined railer that cost himself angling in when drawn the middle of a 520m field. Easy winner in this grade down the straight the time before. Anchor.
Selections: 1-7-5-3
Downgrades after misses elsewhere. Has been saving his best for this track lately. 2 Rock It Rapper is another downgrader but is having his first start on this track. Keep safe as he could be potent in a straight line. Competitive field.
Selections: 5-2-6-3
Backed up her win here with another at Cambridge. Running out nominations in this class so should deliver again.
Selections: 5-6-2-1
Solid second when stepping into this class. Straight track specialist. 5 Cut And Paste also enjoys the straight & will appreciate the drop in class today.
Selections: 3-5-2-1
Only beaten once in six starts here though many of his rivals also boast solid stats on this surface. One who doesn’t, 2 Smoking Ivan, should be kept safe in the quadrella as he could be lethal in a straight line.
Selections: 6-2-7-8
Recent downgrader has run two handy placings here but as the market suggest it’s a wide open field.
Selections: 3-6-7-5
