Roso unleashes his Friday best
Mark Rosanowski • October 3rd, 2025 9:56 AM • 5 min read
Qualified well enough at Manawatu in the middle of last month. Is from a promising litter that has already produced two sharp winners.
Selections: 8-3-4-7
Trialled well here a fortnight ago in a time his rivals probably can't match at this stage. Had an excuse at Manawatu midweek.
Selections: 4-6-7-4
Picked up a maiden win on this track before pouncing first time in this class at Manawatu on Tuesday.
Selections: 4-8-7-2
Has posted open class sprint times from the time he qualified. Up in distance but is a half-brother to six-time group one winner He's All Go. 7 Brighton Wave has lost some of his lustre but this is a big drop back in class for him.
Selections: 3-7-6-4
Returns to the track where she appears to be best suited at this stage of her career. Won when last presented here a fortnight ago.
Selections: 6-4-3-2
Black book placings at his last two outings. Should be suited out wide but he doesn't help himself with his racing style at times. 3 Thrilling Gordon will be charging home & is typically over the odds.
Selections: 8-3-4-6
Laboured into fourth at Manawatu but is far better here & is helped by the small field. 5 Need A Favour won well fresh-up over 375m. Capable over this trip but is also likely to be furthered improved by tonight's run.
Selections: 4-7-5-2
Hasn't raced for a month but his unbeaten record shouldn't be under threat in this line-up.
Selections: 3-5-6-4
Wide draw at Manawatu isn't his go so disregard Tuesday. Fine exponent on this track so expect to see a different dog.
Selections: 3-1-7-4
Spoiled his chance with an awkward jump when favourite on the downgrade. Staying with but covering on the obvious 5 Fire Warning who is running smart times on this track.
Selections: 4-5-2-3
Justified support when winning in this class at Manawatu. She's just as accomplished on this track. 3 Big Time Battle downgrades on the back of fair fifths. Each way value.
Selections: 5-3-7-4
Nosed out of a win by a c5 chaser at Manawatu. Faces a field of c3s tonight. 4 Fergie's Girl jumps another class but is running times that suggest that she will measure up.
Selections: 3-4-6-5
Best: Cliff Top Vinnie
Next: All Over Rover
Value: Big Time Battle (r11)
