Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 11 races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Friday 10 January, 2025.
Should be more ready after two placings in this campaign. Spare box to her outside should assist.
Selections: 1-6-4-5
Brave win at Manawatu after early jostling. Good win in this class here a fortnight back. Should run out nominations successfully.
Selections: 1-7-6-4
First race since August but meets the right field for her resumption & she wouldn’t have to improve much on her 17.95s trial last Friday.
Selections: 2-7-6-3
Too slick for 5 Why A Rapper a week ago. The same exacta beckons.
Selections: 3-5-8-4
Never in the hunt at Manukau but has been super here of late so that’s best forgotten. 5 Big Time Lime was also hampered in the same race up north as Proof. Was an easy winner from this trap the last time she stepped out on this track a fortnight ago.
Selections: 4-5-1-2
Poor draw beat him last week. Much more potent close in. Runs his races out strongly.
Selections: 2-5-6-4
Disregard the Manukau miss after being hampered at the bend. That was her first run in a month & she downgrades. 4 Jane’s Panama hasn’t raced since May but a 17.64s trial last week suggests that she’s still got it. Is the only c5 racing c4s.
Selections: 6-4-7-5
Improved by his recent outings after a spell. This race & draw sets up well for him.
Selections: 3-6-7-4
Blazed to a fifth straight win at Manukau beating 8 Fear To Tread for the second consecutive occasion.
Selections: 5-8-2-4
Surprisingly beaten after leading last Friday but his time was good so credit to the winner. Should keep this field at bay.
Selections: 3-8-5-6
Somehow hasn’t won on this track in 22 starts although most of them have been over 520m. Won’t get a better opportunity than this. 5 Big Time Dora downgrades. Hasn’t inspired of late but she will find this easier. Field ticket in the quaddie an option if you’ve anchored earlier.
Selections: 7-5-8-6
