Whanganui Straight Greyhounds Tips & Preview | Tuesday 3 February

7 Hot League’s solid second in a small field here last week gives him a winning hope today despite fading over 457m at Manawatu. 4 Small Town Boy got home well for second here two starts back running past 3 All the Best although he looked unsure about the catching pen. 1 Big Time Loki is the best dog in the field on ability but he has looked lost down the straight to date.
Selections: 7-4-3-1

2 My Anxiety downgrades off fair form & returns to what has been his best track so far. Second in a c4 race the last time he visited. 3 Sister Shadow stumbled early last week which was costly to the front-runner. 
Selections: 2-3-6-8 

6 Need An Uber was a big winner in this grade at Manawatu. Has looked good down the straight in the past. 4 Cliff Top Vinnie was disappointing here last week but he was backing up after a 520m win on the Friday. Include at odds. 
Selections: 6-4-2-1 

4 Sprinkle Jean has yet to win here but has placed in all four outings behind handy hounds. Was big in defeat at Manawatu. 6 Bora Bora is back up in class but his winning time last start measures up in this field. 
Selections: 4-6-8-5 

4 Diamond Frankie is making his open class debut. On time he would have finished second to Loveable Rogue last week & that dog is missing today. 3 Big Time Maestro needed the run here last week & built on it with a strong second at Manawatu. 
Selections: 4-3-6-5 

7 Ivory Girl pushed Diamond Frankie in her downgrade run. Should be winning this on that run. 
Selections: 7-8-6-3 

8 Appleby Road is up in class after last week’s slick win. She ran faster than today’s favourite 2 Super League who finished third in another race behind 4 Big Time Vanilla. 
Selections: 8-2-4-5 

6 Short Stuff has only won once in 45 starts but she ran a personal best when second a week ago & the favourite 2 Pressure’s On was pretty plain in another race on the same day. 
Selections: 6-2-8-7 

7 Side Swipe downgrades into a race that looks well within her grasp. Her time last Tuesday when sixth was faster than that recorded by 8 Dolly Drama winning her maiden. 
Selections: 7-8-2-5 

7 Cliff Top Manny is getting fitter with each run in this campaign & was a close third at massive odds a week back. 1 Groot’s Galaxy looks the best dog here on ability but it’s hard to explain his last two failures. 
Selections: 7-1-6-3 

4 Mailman’s Coming won his maiden here easily before running second as a hot favourite at Manawatu. Is short enough again in the market. 3 Sugar Sugar. Her placed time last week measures up well to the favourite. 
Selections: 4-3-7-2
