THE MEADOWS: The build up

A mouth-watering clash over 600m headlines greyhound racing at The Meadows this evening with three ultra-talented chasers – GWYDION, TRUE DETECTIVE and ELLA ENCHANTED – set to lock horns.

Watch every race LIVE and FREE via The Watchdog app and follow Watchdog Racing’s extensive Twitter coverage of the night including inside mail from key trainers.

The night kicks off with 20-month-old sensation PURE QUALITY looking to back up from a stunning debut win at The Meadows in 29.91sec for Tanya Auld.

A potential staying star from Barry Smith’s famous stock, MEPUNGA SPECTRE, will line up in a small but high quality race over 725m, in what will be her first run beyond 660m.

And despite the Dailly kennel hosing down expectations around their talented youngster JAX BALE, The Watchdog has landed on the son of The Meadows 525m track record holder ALLEN DEED as the Best Bet of the night.

TRUE DETECTIVE

BOOMER SAYS: “TRUE DETECTIVE has won five from six over The Meadows’ 600-metre distance, including the Group 1 Hume Cup. He should pour the pressure on early as he normally settles on the speed. He’s won 19 races from 33 starts, and he has a 75% winning strike rate from Box 3.”
