Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all nine races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Friday, 21 March, 2025.
Fair fifth in a strong 660m race at Manawatu. Easily won in this class here last Friday. Busy week but logical favourite. 6 Bet Rejected was looking likely when she was checked & fell. Her sister drawing to her outside is a concern in the early rush.
Selections: 3-6-8-7
Tested a high quality dog to the limit over 660m at the start of the week. Should handle this field but it is a quicker back-up than normal for him.
Selections: 8-2-7-3
Will be winning this if she begins as well as last week but that’s not always the way & 2 Big Time Zola did well after not beginning to her potential. Probably need both on the quaddie tickets in what is a cross over leg for both the early & late ones on m10.
Selections: 8-2-3-5
Ran a career best time here before heading to Cambridge & dominating a group two series for the girls. 2 More Magic returns to his favourite track after a decent fourth in the NZ Derby at Cambridge where he is less effective. Will have to hold up strongly in the early stages though as there’s a stack of speed drawn to his outside. Cracking field.
Selections: 5-2-3-6
Was second turning for home at Cambridge over 457m when he was bumped off balance & finished at the back. Has a super record this course/distance.
Selections: 4-8-7-2
Fitter for his two outings this time in & slips back in class. Each way play.
Selections: 5-2-3-7
