Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 11 races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Thursday 24 April, 2025.
High quality chaser stepping up in distance for the first time. Her sister Long Non White is very capable at the trip. 7 Schmeichel runs on like the 650m will suit. His Mum won over 603m.
Selections: 3-7-4-8
Qualified in style at Hatrick then was a solid second on debut at Manawatu. Looks to have this field covered on ability. Quadrella anchor.
Selections: 4-8-6-7
Grading special given he won a c2 heat on Sunday & lines up against a c1 field today. 7 Undone is on the up but her maiden win was in a two-dog field. Her third at Manawatu was behind two promising dogs.
Selections: 8-7-6-5
Perfect downgrade form & this is far easier than his most recent fourth in a c4/5 field down the straight track. Went within a length of the winner in c4 company here the time before. 5 Big Time Central looks each way value in this field after showing good pace over more ground at Manukau.
Selections: 8-5-2-4
Wide runner got tired late over 457m last time. Should be potent back to this distance.
Selections: 7-3-4-5
Two tidy wins since finishing a black book third behind 7 Hooked on Jazz a fortnight ago. Nicely placed to still be racing in c1 for the next two starts.
Selections: 6-7-3-8
Claimed late when third over 527m at Manukau. Won her prior three starts on this track.
Selections: 5-3-4-8
Ran down Quintessential here last week & this is easier. Quaddie anchor.
Selections: 2-4-5-6
Surprisingly hasn’t raced here since claiming the Waikato Cup in January. Returns in good form & will need to be in a field full of chances.
Selections: 5-2-4-1
Smart chaser resuming over a sprint trip that he should be tough to beat over. 5 Big Time Proof is a versatile dog having just his second 375m race here.
Selections: 6-5-2-3
Fitter for his fresh up sprint when he was tripped early. Derby heat winner that stands out like a beacon in this field.
Selections: 5-2-6-3
