Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all nine races at the Whanganui Straight Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday, 13 May.
Beat a few of the same dogs when winning over the fence at Hatrick on Friday. Solid third in his only run down the straight. 3 Cliff Top Cutie was fourth after a slow start behind Lopez but it’s worth noting that she beat that dog when second on debut.
Selections: 8-3-2-1
Was a close fourth to 8 Chip’s Revenge despite taking a decent bump mid-race here two starts back. Each way value as the favourite can be tardy at the traps.
Selections: 2-8-4-6
Game seconds in her last two outings at Manawatu & she should be dangerous back here now she has rediscovered some form.
Selections: 2-3-5-6
Racing well wherever she goes but her only win was in her only attempt here. 7 Kookaburra Bob downgrades & returns to his favourite track.
Selections: 5-7-3-8
Was bumped out of the race at the first bend when handy at Manawatu last Tuesday. Beat 7 Loveable Rogue when they met here on April 14.
Selections: 2-7-6-8
Two recent attempts over 457m were better than they read on paper. Has operated well in stronger company than this down the straight.
Selections: 5-4-3-8
Steamed into fourth over 520m on Friday. Went close here two starts back. Each way value at opening odds in an even field.
Selections: 4-6-5-7
Distant second behind a promising dog here last month. This looks easier but she is a low strike-rate chaser.
Selections: 8-6-4-2
Fair fourth in a strong form race at Manawatu. Five of her six career wins have been here. 5 Silky Adobe qualified for the $20,000 Betcha Straight Up final. Has changed kennels & is now a local. Include in exotics.
Selections: 7-5-3-4
