Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 12 races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Friday 15 November, 2024.
Made a better beginning at start three which led to a comfortable win over 8 Hurry Higgins on Tuesday. 5 Big Time Potter ran a touch faster than Denbe in the other maiden but took longer to find the front after receiving a glorious run through.
Selections: 4-5-8-7
Buzzed to the lead & stung the opposition again earlier in the week. Flawless beginner to date so should add a bonus win in the grade. Quaddie anchor.
Selections: 6-4-5-1
Building a consistent record over 527m at Manukau & this track could suit her & her brother 7 Kiwi Moments who has superior early speed. 1 Talkin’ Trash chased home a form dog here after a soft straight track victory. Might need a fistful in the quaddie though including 5 Big Time Hilary who took early money.
Selections: 2-7-1-5
Seemingly had his chance when second, first up in this class. Probably deserves favouritism but 2 Big Time Mana & 7 Big Time Cortez are capable of running as fast as him at this stage.
Selections: 5-2-7-4
Has been beginning better of late & she’s very good through the line over 305m. Meets a deeper field than she has been lately but she still looks good for four straight.
Selections: 8-3-6-1
Tangled when looking a possible group one finalist at Addington. Narrowly beaten by the Galaxy winner prior albeit in a rough race. Downgrades for her return home. 4 Big Time Lime should have won from in front on the downgrade last week so gambling on her being better for that run considering 3 Big Time Zip ran past her.
Selections: 6-4-3-1
Led a c5 field for a long way & ran right up to his best time. Should hold out this field if he clears the 6 early.
Selections: 7-5-2-4
Back in class after a series of tricky draws against better opposition. No excuses tonight.
Selections: 2-4-8-5
Strong win against a similar field last week. Can take advantage of the big guns being absent again.
Selections: 6-3-8-5
Only once out of the money in eight starts here. Probably not a bad field to be drawn on the outside of. 7 Big Time Party hasn’t won here in 20 starts but there was a bit to like about her second behind the benchmark sprinter in the CD at present. Go wide in the quadrella.
Selections: 8-7-6-5
Career best win in this class from this trap on Tuesday. Hard to containg although 2 Big Time Tricky was a close third fresh & should be improved.
Selections: 5-2-7-3
Held up mid-race on Tuesday. Has looked close to a win in this campaign but he’s not the only one in this even field.
Selections: 3-8-2-6
