Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 10 races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 9 December, 2025.
6 Sprinkle Jean is running out maiden nominations after beating all of the same rivals easily on Friday. Multi starter.
Selections: 6-7-4-5
| 6. Sprinkle Jean (6) 2431T: Lisa Cole |
7 Hendrix Ruler was able to wear down 3 King Harvest in another close contest between the pair. Small field aids his cause.
Selections: 7-5-8-4
| 7. Hendrix Ruler (7) 72221T: K A Lincoln-Papuni |
2 Pumbaa And Timon will have gained confidence from his win on Friday although he was helped by traffic trouble for runners outside him including 6 Sweet And Sassy who should be on a quadrella ticket. 3 Big Time Kimetto was beaten by a promising pup on Friday.
Selections: 2-6-3-7
| 2. Pumbaa And Timon (2) 42121T: Lisa Cole |
5 Churn It Up was a little unlucky when third in a far stronger field on Friday. 2 Old Pal returns to the track & distance over which he has a remarkably good record & he has belied his recent form a few times before under these circumstances.
Selections: 5-2-8-3
| 5. Churn It Up (5) 57623T: W F Morris |
3 Benny’s Best Bet was a sharp maiden winner here last month & he won first up in this grade down the straight track. 6 Need An Uber has won both his starts here utilising good early speed. 7 Run The Gauntlet will be running on strongly. Keeping safe in the quad.
Selections: 3-6-7-8
| 3. Benny’s Best Bet (3) 04131T: Lisa Cole |
8 That’s Contact put in a determined effort to sit parked & come through to win again on Friday. Rise in class shouldn’t stop her. 2 Chief Logger was in need of his last run. Impressive winner in his only prior visit here in August.
Selections: 8-2-3-6
| 8. That’s Contact (8) 1F111T: Lisa Cole |
5 I’ve Got Swagger is wwaggering his way through the grades. Should handle c4 first up successfully although the downgrading 8 Blazing Maeve is capable of making her presence felt in a small field.
Selections: 5-8-3-2
| 5. I’ve Got Swagger (5) 11211T: Lisa Cole |
3 Opawa Simpson beat a far stronger field on Friday so looks an anchor this afternoon.
Selections: 3-6-5-7
| 3. Opawa Simpson (3) 11421T: Marcie Flipp |
3 Adobe Underworld is a veteran who relishes racing. Held firm underneath 8 Millie’s Choice to post win 17 last week.
Selections: 3-8-5-2
| 3. Adobe Underworld (3) 54161T: Marcie Flipp |
3 Thrilling Sammy trialled nicely before winning well after a long break. Should only be fitter for that. 2 Double Please continues to fire up in strong fields without winning. Gets in well here as the only other c3 racing c2 dogs.
Selections: 3-2-7-1
| 3. Thrilling Sammy (3) 214X1T: J T Pruden |
