Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 10 races at the Whanganui Straight Greyhounds meeting on Monday 13 October.
5 Big Time Vanilla was an easy winner of the corresponding race last week & the same result looks likely unless 6 Reckless Eric can make a cleaner beginning.
Selections: 5-6-7-4
| 5. Big Time Vanilla (5) 21211T: M Goodier |
4 Bora Bora returns to the straight track which he has excelled on. Each way value in a competitive field. 1 Big Time Brutal is also at juicy odds given his close third six days ago.
Selections: 4-1-2-8
| 4. Bora Bora (4) 87337T: P J Clark |
3 Hey Driver wanted away from the inside last week & finished attractively once he was balanced in just his second start down the straight. Tempting each way odds.
Selections: 3-2-1-8
| 3. Hey Driver (3) 55762T: Lisa Cole |
4 Big Time Cortez has an ordinary record here but he was ok last week & he won’t get a better chance to win than this. 2 Sugar Sugar finished just behind Cortez. 8 Diamond Frankie is lacking confidence in a field so the straight might help. Worth a dollar at long odds.
Selections: 4-2-8-6
| 4. Big Time Cortez (4) 45552T: Lisa Cole |
7 Loveable Rogue surprisingly never looked like winning last Tuesday but picked up late to snatch third & the pair that beat him are absent today. Still the benchmark on this track.
Selections: 7-2-5-3
| 7. Loveable Rogue (7) 12113T: J T Pruden |
5 Big Time Martin downgrades after a close fourth in c5. Should bounce straight back.
Selections: 5-6-4-7
| 5. Big Time Martin (5) 23644T: Lisa Cole |
4 Side Swipe was beaten at short odds last time so it’s hard to jump on again but is the dog to beat in this line-up. 2 Swift Shadow ran boldly when downgrading. Will lead this field early.
Selections: 4-2-7-3
| 4. Side Swipe (4) 23233T: D Bell |
7 Zero Chill is resuming in the right field on a track she enjoys. 6 Ludlow Lad ran faster than 5 Cebu Blue last week despite only finishing sixth.
Selections: 7-6-5-3
| 7. Zero Chill (7) 16554T: D Bell |
