After having his four-race win streak broken last Thursday night at Warrnambool, Handsome Jack has the opportunity to play the role of spoiler at Warragul this evening.

Brother Bearing has been victorious in his last four races and will be hoping to get the better of Handsome Jack and five other rivals in a Mixed 4/5 460m race.

That’ll Do Neo is aiming to extend his winning run to five races, while impressive debut winner Orson Thunder returns to Warragul.

Track specialists Throw Caution, Massimo and My Faith clash, while prolific winner Rocket Boy v G3 Healesville Cup runner-up Paua Of Oscar should be a stirring duel.

G1 Maturity Classic runner-up Fernando Mick is the standout chaser at Horsham this afternoon.

First ?: Place – TOYED
? Healesville ? Race 4 ? Box 8 ? 300m ⏱ 11:54am
TAB fixed odds: $2.70 Place

Second ?: Win – WHITE FLOWER

TAB fixed odds: $2.15 Win
Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666540511/race/10

The Watchdog says ? : TOYED (8) loves racing up the straight and he is ideally drawn out wide. With a clean getaway, he should get every chance to put himself into contention and then hit the scoreboard. WHITE FLOWER (5) has had little luck in stronger company of late and if given room early, she should assume control soon after box rise and prove too classy for these.

Multi price: $5.80

TAB fixed odds: $1.75 Win
Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666540513/race/8

The Watchdog says ? : As mentioned previously, TOYED (8) has the right draw and should get every chance to hit the scoreboard. BROTHER BEARING (7) is racing in tremendous fashion, and he should get a nice sit on HANDSOME JACK (4) in the initial stages and then prove too strong in the run home.

Multi price: $4.72

? $5 Win – UFORO BALE
? Geelong ? Race 7 ? Box 6 ? 400m ⏱ 4:25pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.80 Win
Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666540511/race/7

The Watchdog says ? : UFORO BALE (6) is armed with blistering early speed, and he will appreciate the drop back in distance. He can be a little hit or miss early but the empty draw inside will help, and he should be able to head into the bend in the top two. With the ability to get down to around the 22.40sec mark, they will have a hard time reeling him in.
