Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 12 races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 7 January, 2024.
Steps up over ground for the first time in a handy field but she looks ready for 660m. Was strong to the lure in a decent 520m field at Addington last start.
Selections: 2-1-3-6
Finally gets to the races after qualifying at Addington back in August. Ran a quick sprint trial at home last week. Money dictates that he’s a quaddie anchor.
Selections: 2-1-8-7
Has been racing in stronger middle distance fields. This sets up well for her especially with the spare trap inside her. Each way value.
Selections: 3-7-6-1
Downgrades & gets a better draw. On the cusp of $100k in stakes.
Selections: 1-7-8-5
Up in class after clocking a super time at Cambridge. Knows this track well. The 2 does like to ease out however. 5 Hey Driver can be forgiven Cambridge miss when checked at the bend in a tidy field.
Selections: 3-5-4-2
Somehow hasn’t won a race since the group one Galaxy in November. Contacted the rail at Addington last week & had an excuse when second to 7 Very Rarely the time before. Was brilliant when winning here in September & the money has flowed for him.
Selections: 6-7-4-1
Led all the way for an easy win in this class in a good time on Friday. Has been good here to date as well.
Selections: 6-7-2-5
Run down late by a smart dog in a hot c1 sprint final at Addington. First time here but has won over 390m & 457m at Ascot Park. 7 Big Time Cortez may have produced a coming of age win at Hatrick on Friday dealing to a strong dog in a swift time.
Selections: 3-7-4-6
Railed hard to beat Opawa Bambry in a quality c1 sprint final at Addington. Capable of the step up on a new track but the 2 Big Time Vitara & 3 Big Time Slim are racing well enough to make it interesting.
Selections: 1-2-3-8
Big downgrade for this & spare box to his inside is helpful. 1 Goldstar Bruiser runs out nominations in this class after exploding to a big win at Addington.
Selections: 5-1-3-6
Solid third down the straight track after winning well in this class at Hatrick. Quaddie anchor & multi must.
Selections: 4-2-7-3
Has been fair recently after moderate starts. Back to her best track & a spare box inside her helps. Lots of chances in this field though.
Selections: 5-2-1-3
