Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 12 races at the Whanganui Greyhounds meeting on Friday, 28 November.
6 Benny’s Best Bet justified strong support when winning at Manawatu on Tuesday after being luckless in his first three starts. Is the dog to beat remaining in maiden company today but is very short in the market given 3 Save Time & 7 Big Time Loki beat him home here last Friday.
Selections: 6-3-2-7
| 6. Benny’s Best Bet (6) 33041T: Lisa Cole |
4 Jilliby Finale went close here last week in a decent time then was held up mid-race when third at Manawatu. 8 Sprinkle Jean followed up her solid qualifying trial with a strong second on debut at Manawatu.
Selections: 4-8-2-9
| 4. Jilliby Finale (4) 24023T: Lisa Cole |
4 Run The Gauntlet put in a superb last-to-first win in this class last week but his slow starting trait caught up with him at Manawatu. Has run better times than 5 Need An Uber here but that dog has the benefit of early speed. Cover both in the quadrella.
Selections: 4-5-1-6
| 4. Run The Gauntlet (4) 41216T: Lisa Cole |
5 Jilliby Eaton has been costly twice in the last week but has had excuses & the odds are a bit longer today in a string field for this grade.
Selections: 5-2-4-7
| 5. Jilliby Eaton (5) 51222T: Lisa Cole |
3 Shades of Space did well for second after early jostling when returning to her favourite track. Can turn the tables on 5 Fire Warning under tonight’s conditions. Shaes’ sister 2 Space Conspiracy should be dangerous in a fresh state.
Selections: 3-2-5-6
| 3. Shades Of Space (3) 11672T: Lisa Cole |
1 Pure Precision ran the fastest time of the night from the other side of the track a week ago. Did well to overcome traffic for third in strong field at Manawatu. 6 Big Time Lopez is in great shape but might have to settle for second again. Exacta.
Selections: 1-6-5-2
| 1. Pure Precision (1) 14113T: Lisa Cole |
6 Big Time Zip clearly outpointed the favourite 2 Big Time Ashton here last week & Ashton was a long last on Tuesday. None of the four are anywhere near their best.
Selections: 6-2-7-8
| 6. Big Time Zip (6) 43335T: Lisa Cole |
7 Hey It’s Frank was beaten by two handy hounds after leading early over 457m on Tuesday. Simply should be too good for this field.
Selections: 7-8-5-3
| 7. Hey It’s Frank (7) 64443T: Lisa Cole |
2 Lulu’s Dream is a high quality hound was pushed hard to win here a fortnight ago & was beaten by her brother 3 Criminal Minds at Cambridge. Had a genuine excuse when handy at Manawatu. Has gunned down her brother before so can again tonight.
Selections: 2-3-8-7
| 2. Lulu’s Dream (2) 11125T: Lisa Cole |
3 Not Okay has finished behind 6 I’ve Got Swagger in his two starts in this campaign but will be fitter for those & has an advantage in the draws tonight.
Selections: 3-6-7-5
| 3. Not Okay (3) 16X32T: Lisa Cole |
4 Mojito Dreams won in a good time here a fortnight ago & has been successful twice since at Manawatu. Overcame adversity on Tuesday. 2 Chief Loger returns home after running second to a handy local at Addington.
Selections: 4-2-6-7
| 4. Mojito Dreams (4) 12111T: Lisa Cole |
2 Big Time Phil chased home two hot Canterbury hounds on Tuesday. Returns to his favourite track tonight so is a chance of an overdue win. 5 Big Time Lime is clearly the best dog in the race having downgraded. Hasn’t been beginning at her best however so may still be vulnerable.
Selections: 2-5-4-6
| 2. Big Time Phil (2) 44263T: Lisa Cole |
