Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 10 races at the Whanganui Straight Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 23 December.
4 Big Time Moony bombed near the line last week when a close third to 6 Big Time Brutal. She should be fitter for that outing. 2 Thrilling Gordon was a solid second in a different race. Looks to be on the up again.
Selections: 4-2-6-5
| 4. Big Time Moony (4) 63543 T: M Goodier |
Astonishing six-year-old 7 Mimi looks close to a win & it would be appropriate at start 100. Probably want Quaddie back-up, though.
Selections: 7-6-3-8
| 7. Mimi (7) 42322 T: J A McArthur |
5 Pick The Gap qualified in quick time at Manawatu beating a subsequent winner. Was hampered at the first bend on debut at Hatrick so prepared to forgive. 1 Cloud Booming had an excuse when a distant third here before finishing a much closer third at Hatrick.
Selections: 5-1-6-7
| 5. Pick The Gap (5) 7 T: Lisa Cole |
3 Pressure’s On is on debut from an exciting young litter. Qualifying trial winner at Manawatu in a decent time. 6 Grasscutter Dash was a distant second behind a promising pup here last week.
Selections: 3-6-8-7
| 3. Pressure’s On (3) T: Lisa Cole |
1 Blitz Attack is unbeaten in four starts here after a comfortable win over 7 Star Boy Express. 3 Mojito Dreams has been good here too although not as quick overall. Won a feature sprint final at Hatrick on Friday.
Selections: 1-3-7-2
| 1. Blitz Attack (1) 11511 T: Lisa Cole |
8 You Sassy Minx downgrades off three fair fourths against the best. Slow early but should run past most of these. 6 Opawa Keith powered into second after a slow start last Tuesday.
Selections: 8-6-4-2
| 8. You Sassy Minx (8) 53444 T: J T Pruden |
4 Big Time Tawny was good through the line last week, running past 2 Sister Shadow, who is a reliable beginner.
Selections: 4-2-7-6
| 4. Big Time Tawny (4) 54543 T: M Goodier |
7 Hey It’s Frank downgraded & delivered down the straight. This looks within her ability. 1 Jilliby Eaton backed up her win here last week with another at Hatrick. Confidence high.
Selections: 7-1-5-8
| 7. Hey It’s Frank (7) 34571 T: Lisa Cole |
2 Super League was in another league to his maiden rivals seven days back. This class shouldn’t stop him.
Selections: 2-5-3-1
| 2. Super League (2) 61 T: Lisa Cole |
2 Sprinkle Jean chased home a smart straight track performer last time. On the up. 7 Need An Uber ran into third after a slow start here before running second in a very fast race at Manawatu. Still a little unsure about him here.
Selections: 2-7-8-1
| 2. Sprinkle Jean (2) 31122 T: Lisa Cole |
