Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 11 races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Wednesday 27 November, 2024.
Still learning the game but he’s been solid in his last two placings at Hatrick & has experience on this track. Meets a field at his level.
Selections: 7-6-3-8
Resumes after a minor injury. Has won twice here including his only attempt over this distance. 3 Hey Driver has been win or bust in a run of six from 11 including last start fresh up on the downgrade at Cambridge. Quaddie cover.
Selections: 1-3-6-4
Ran a fair fourth in a better field here last week then made ground well for second at Hatrick.
Selections: 7-1-3-4
One of only two c3 chasers in this. Had a tussle across the top last week when challenging & this is easier.
Selections: 7-1-8-5
Fast dog on the rise although has looked better on tighter tracks & definitely prefers it closer in. The dog to his outside also wants across which makes it a tricky race.
Selections: 7-4-1-8
Made it four from seven on this circuit with a fastest time of the day win last week. 6 Big Time Bashful gets a huge drop in class. Fresh up & trialed well here last Tuesday.
Selections: 2-6-7-1
Won in this class from the same draw last week. 4 Big Time Mana was a winner at Hatrick on Friday & ran a distant third to two hot dogs over 457m in his only run here.
Selections: 1-4-2-5
Thrives on this track & her fourth on Friday suggests she’s going well enough to claim this.
Selections: 7-6-5-8
Lifted late to claim a c2 victory. This is certainly harder but he’s on the cusp of $100k so he’s faced tough assignments before. Spare boxes on either side should help.
Selections: 2-4-5-6
Is the only c5 in this field after clinging on to win from the ace alley a week ago.
Selections: 1-3-2-8
Fair second last week although had his chance. Should get another safe run. 7 Simon Templar was fourth in that race after being knocked by the winner in the early stages. Tough trap but has the ability with a clear passage.
Selections: 1-7-2-3
