DOCTOR’S ORDERS!

He hasn’t been seen since finishing seventh in a Group 2 Ballarat Cup heat on December 5 last year.

But The Watchdog is confident potential star Dr. Tucker, who has won nine from 16, will ‘bark the orders’ at Sale where he boasts a flying 24.73sec PB.

He emerged as the ‘new kid on the block’, taking out last year’s Group 3 Great Chase and following up with a third to retired superstar Hard Style Rico in the Group 3 Silver Bullet – both at The Meadows.

“When at his best, he’s armed with a dynamic turn of foot soon after box rise and with an empty draw inside, he should get every chance to assume control as they leave the mat,” The Watchdog said.

The expert form analyst also expects Dr. Lynch, who “has been racing well and is suitably drawn out wide”, to fill the quinella and adds the promising Aston Jupiter “must also be respected”.

Check out The Watchdog’s extensive analysis of tonight’s ‘Must-Watch’ race, along with his best ‘Win’ and ‘Place’ bets in today’s edition of Daily Mail.
