The Watchdog says
? : MAJOR BOMBER (7) was impressive here last time and should be winning with ease. HUNCA MUNCA (1) is an improving type and is drawn to make every post a winner. BARISTA CHICK (6) has recorded two blistering wins here to date and she is expected to lead throughout.

TAB fixed odds: $2.30 Win
Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666539206/race/3


The Watchdog says
? : ASTON PROFIT (4) is a faultless beginner and she should have the pace to hold out SHE’S SO LOVABLE (8) at the bend. This is her ideal distance range, and she is expected to turn for home with a nice break and get the cash.

? $1 Win – SMOKIN’ GRILLE     ? Lucky Longshot ?
? Shepparton ? Race 5 ? Box 6 ? 450m ⏱ 8:31pm
TAB fixed odds: $6 Win
Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666539206/race/5


The Watchdog says
? : Tough draw but SMOKIN’ GRILLE (6) does have a V8 engine and with a clean getaway he can put himself into contention. One out, he is the fastest chaser in the event, so at that price he is worth a nibble.

? $2 Trifecta – 6,7 / 3,6,7 / 1,3,4,5,6,7 (12.50%)

? Must Watch Race ?

Mixed Grade 4/5

? Shepparton ? Race 8
? 450m ⏱ 9:39pm

The Watchdog says ?:  LALINA (6) and ZIPPING ZARBO (7) are the two big guns and I expect one of them to get the cash. DREAM WIZARD (3) has been included for second and we have gone wide for third.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:
ZIPPING ZARBO (7) has been a tremendous chaser for some time now and she showed with her breathtaking 23.47sec Bendigo win that she is still at the peak of her powers. The sparingly raced LALINA (6) appears to be the obvious danger. She has a tremendous strike rate having won 14 of 26 (54 percent) and she recently returned to form with a dynamic 25.03sec Ballarat win. DREAM WIZARD (3) rounds out the ‘big three’. He is a prolific winner and he will be looking to make amends for his two luckless runs at Sandown Park of late.
