Whanganui Straight Greyhounds Tips & Preview | Tuesday 10 February

4 Positive Penny produced another big finish to push 3 Small Town Boy at Hatrick on Friday. Unknown on this track but if she takes to it she should mow right past them. 3 Small Town Boy has the straight track grass experience edge however.  
Selections: 4-3-5-6 

7 Cebu Blue doesn’t win often but he has been racing well enough in standard c1 fields to rate highly in a special conditions race for older dogs. 4 Miss Issues was good mid-race before peaking on her run in a stronger line-up last Tuesday. 6 Reckless Eric picked her up late. Might need the top four to advance past the first leg of the quadrella. 
Selections: 7-4-6-3 

3 Big Time Tricky followed up her big odds second down the straight with an easy win at Hatrick. 4 Big Time Slim & 2 Sister Shadow were solid placegetters in that order behind a good straight track exponent last week. 
Selections: 3-4-2-7 

2 Criminal Minds is unbeaten in six starts here but he has never faced the irrepressible 5 Loveable Rogue. Probably need them both in the quaddie. 
Selections: 2-5-7-6 

8 Need An Uber matched 6 Star Boy Express for time a week ago despite some early contact & hooking out widest. Outside trap gives him the nod.  
Selections: 8-6-2-7 

5 Zeus’s Magic is unbeaten in two starts down the straight & would have been three from three but a win was wiped out by a race being declared void. Has focus issues but has shown his best here so far. 
Selections: 5-2-4-6 

2 Super League is up in class after a big win down the straight seven days back & has since run a mighty second over 520m. Still a little risky at the start. 1 My Anxiety won well here last week only half-a-length slower than Super League. Forget his miss at Hatrick as he is at his best down the straight. Opened at surprisingly big odds. 
Selections: 2-1-4-6 

1 Big Time Ashton tailed off after a rocky run at Hatrick. Returns to a track where he has chased home Loveable Rogue a few times at the highest level. 5 Benny’s Best Bet was impressive winning a c3 here & he isn’t the same dog at Hatrick where he was fifth on Friday. Open field. 
Selections: 1-5-7-8 

4 Lulu’s Dream is a standout in this field on class being assessed at c5 racing almost exclusively c3s other than 5 Hey Driver. She hasn’t raced down the straight before however & it has caught out some fast dogs before. Hey Driver will relish the return to this track & a downgrade.  
Selections: 4-5-7-8 

7 Mailman’s Coming was all over the place here last Tuesday & some late contact cost him momentum when clinging on to second after leading. Far from the finished product. 8 Cliff Top Cutie hasn’t won in an age but only just missed beating the Mailman home seven days ago. Tempting place odds. 
Selections: 7-8-6-3 

5 Bumper Bill was never in the hunt after a slow start at Hatrick but returns to the scene of his only success when winning on debut. Finds the right field. 
Selections: 5-6-8-2 

5c95ad49-3fc1-4a09-b43a-c9691a292abf has thrown a few races away in the past but she was supremely focussed when defeating 1 Big Time Gunnar on January 27 in this class. Same result likely with only 7 Forever A Fairy looking a threat to the same exacta. 
Selections: 2-1-7-6
