Whanganui Greyhounds Tips & Preview | Friday 24 October

1 Iconic End put in an impressive win in this class here last Friday clocking a hot time. Straight track defeat on Tuesday is best ignored. 
Selections: 1-7-2-3 

6 That’s Contact won a qualifying trial at Palmerston North leading throughout before bungling the start on debut down the straight. Can take it to the favourite with a clean getaway. 
Selections: 6-3-8-5 

7 To Be Wild ran on well enough for fourth down the straight after slipping out of the traps & making contact. Unlucky at the first bend over 520m on debut. Has found the right field today & possibly the right distance. 
Selections: 7-4-6-5 

8 Lighting Space was unlucky here on debut then has run some ripping times at Manawatu since. 7 Criminal Minds should help her across & he is capable of winning if he doesn’t hinder himself heading for the rail. Another quality c1 middle distance field. 
Selections: 8-7-4-3 

4 Big Time Lime can bounce back from last week’s defeat when she was bumped between runners but she is short enough in the market given how well 6 Big Time Tactics won the corresponding race last Friday. 
Selections: 4-6-8-5 

6 Zero Chill is fitter for recent racing & form has been encouraging. Doesn’t win out of turn but has opened at backable each way odds. 
Selections: 6-3-5-4 

8 Pushing Buttons has looked good in two starts at Hatrick from the other side of the track. There’s plenty of dogs drawn inside her that can help her across. 5 All Over Rover has the best record in the race but has been below top speed of late & was beaten by 7 Talkin’ Trash a week ago. 
Selections: 8-5-7-3 

5 Last Say put in a solid second behind a promising sprinter seven days back. Short in the market but is progressive whereas the others have all had many chances. 
Selections: 5-2-8-3 

7 Big Time Brave held virtually the same field at bay last Friday when fresh so should deliver again. 
Selections: 7-3-4-2 

6 Big Time Lopez led for a fair way last week before 3 My Anxiety came underneath her in the home straight. The latter doesn’t have first use of the rail this time which could produce a result reversal. 
Selections: 6-3-2-5 

2 Last Surprise beat all of these dogs except fellow winner 7 Hanoi a week back & he ran faster than her so the opening odds look generous. 5 Big Time Bullet can change the race with a better beginning which he is capable of. 
Selections: 2-5-7-3 

2 Shades of Space will be fitter for her fresh-up fourth & gets a better draw. 8 Hurry Higgins ran a slashing fourth in a strong c5 final the last time he stepped out at Hatrick. 
Selections: 2-8-4-3
