Trackside commentator Mark Rosanowski provides his tips for all nine races at the Palmerston North Greyhounds meeting on Monday 2 February, 2026.
7 Cadrona hasn’t lived up to his qualifying trial win on this track in November when he beat the now c3 dog Sprinkle Jean but he won’t get a better opportunity than this to break through.
Selections: 7-6-5-4
| 7. Cadrona (7) 66625T: Lisa Cole |
4 Hendrix Ruler beat a stronger field than this on Friday & he’s beautifully set up to double up today.
Selections: 4-2-6-8
| 4. Hendrix Ruler (4) 12221T: K A Lincoln-Papuni |
Hard to back with great confidence but 2 Bet Rejected gets into this well after finishing a close third in a c1/2 race over 457m at Cambridge on Thursday.
Selections: 2-6-4-7
| 2. Bet Rejected (2) 64673T: W F Morris |
Strong front running win by 4 Thrilling Zane in this class when downgrading on Friday. Should repeat.
Selections: 4-6-7-8
| 4. Thrilling Zane (4) 85581T: W T Hodgson |
3 Jane’s Panama was handy before being jostled in her downgrade run four days ago. Drawn in closer so should get a cleaner run which might be enough in this field.
Selections: 3-4-7-6
| 3. Jane’s Panama (3) 44757T: Lisa Cole |
7 Pure Precision put in a dominant display on Friday from a better alley. Has early speed so could negate that issue. 5 More Magic is a group one winner resuming after a fast sprint trial here. 6 Double Please is new to this grade but is a blowout quaddie hope again.
Selections: 7-5-6-1
| 7. Pure Precision (7) 51541T: Lisa Cole |
3 We Ride finished a solid second down the straight when downgrading. Does his best work on this track although is hard to jump on with confidence. 5 Barry Bowler is at tempting odds as she is beginning so reliably. Quadrella spread.
Selections: 3-5-7-8
| 3. We Ride (3) 55762T: Lisa Cole |
5 Tira Miss You finished a bold third in a far stronger c4/5 field on Friday hinted at an overdue win. 8 Opawa Jordan was hassled midrace when trying to improve in a different race on the same card.
Selections: 5-8-3-6
| 5. Tira Miss You (5) 33763T: Lisa Cole |
7 Save Time is a handy beginner who battled bravely for second behind a handy hound last week. Can take it to the more experienced dogs.
Selections: 7-8-4-6
| 7. Save Time (7) 32122T: C Hodgson |
