Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all eight races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Friday 27 February, 2026.
Two impressive maiden wins including a fast one here has 5 Ten Across primed to tame c1 opposition at first time of asking. Multi starter.
Selections: 5-4-7-3
7 Tension is up in class but the time she recorded here ten days ago suggest that she’s not for stopping. Has ripped to another big win since at Hatrick.
Selections: 7-2-8-3
4 Opawa Simpson has had little luck lately & drops back in distance & overall strength of opposition. Pretty short but probably wins. 3 Shades of Space trialled well enough at Hatrick to suggest a bold run fresh.
Selections: 4-3-7-5
6 Avatar Speed is improving with time & experience. Was an extraordinary maiden winner on this track. Strong late when winning at Hatrick last Friday. Progressive.
Selections: 6-4-3-2
3 Space Conspiracy is a track specialist who is resuming on the back of a slick trial at Hatrick. Good field but she can test the favourites at each way value.
Selections: 3-5-6-4
5 More Magic was in traffic when he was trying to muscle into the clear at group two level last time. Can bounce right back but he will have to be on his game to beat 2 Lulu’s Dream.
Selections: 5-2-8-4
Close but gutsy win by 7 Last Say after a month off. Up in class but he should be even better today. 4 Adobe Underworld is a veteran on the downgrade. Can boost exotics.
Selections: 7-4-8-5
4 Child Prodigy was unlucky when trying to cross to the lead here on commentators’ day. A little disappointing since but relying on her good record on this track. 2 Big Time Maestro placed at c5 level having already downgraded two starts back. Close fourth in a good field here prior to that.
Selections: 4-2-7-6
