Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all 12 races at the Whanganui Straight Greyhounds meeting on Tuesday 27 January.
Kept coming to share a win over 520m on Friday. His third on debut here had merit & with that experience he should be able to handle this field at short odds.

Showed good mid-race burn when second here a fortnight ago. With a cleaner beginning she could test 1 Taylor’s Sport that won well at Hatrick on Friday but looked a little lost here on debut.

Has placed in both his starts here including a narrow maiden defeat at the most recent straight track meeting. 2 Groot’s Galaxy has a similar record & he should have won here on January 13 but didn’t run hard through the line.

Got close to an unbeaten dog here at the last straight meet. Might have a fitness edge on 8 Loveable Rogue who has been the benchmark here & trialled in quick time a fortnight ago.

Delivered on the downgrade at Hatrick despite an interrupted run. Goes well here so should put this field away at short odds.

Unbeaten in three starts down the straight but he can be awkward early so dogs like 7 Bora Bora & 5 Big Time Vanilla come into this for quaddie value.

Runner-up in a strange race here a fortnight ago & has been handy at Hatrick since. Looks well placed today but hasn’t won since June. 7 Big Time Iggy isn’t quite on top of her game but she might not have to be to take this.

Talented chaser but has application troubles. Threw away a win here in December but has won a four-dog trial in a decent time since. Top2 play for the multi. 1 Big Time Gunnar won a maiden nicely at the last meeting here. Quadrella must.
