The Watchdog says ? : GINTOKI BALE (1) has the good draw, and he is never far away in this company. If he can step on terms, he should be in the top two from the outset. BLAZING TIMES (8) is a powerful type, and he finds himself in a race with a number of runners who are suspect over this journey. If he can avoid bother at the bend, he should run over the top late. MOTH ROCKS (2) should lead easily, and he is getting stronger with every run, so a top-two finish looks likely.

The Watchdog says ? : He is armed with blistering pace soon after box rise and his box manners are quite good, so from the favourable draw, he should have no trouble holding the lead and they will have to go sub 25.10sec to reel him in.

Seaside Distance Challenge Final
? Warrnambool ? Race 8
? Box 1 ? 650m ⏱ 8:58pm
TAB fixed odds: $5.50 Win
The Watchdog says ?: JARICK BALE (7) is the one to beat, however STAY STRONG (1) looks drawn to get every chance. I’m expecting her to hold the early lead and if she can zip away mid race, she may steal the race.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:
JARICK BALE (7) landed his maiden Group 1 victory in the Sale Cup final and he backs up quickly in this feature event. He overcame the difficult draw on Sunday night, however, tonight there is a shorter run to the bend, so he can’t afford to make too many mistakes. STAY STRONG (1) is drawn to hold the top early and has turned in some great performances of late. She is getting stronger all the time and if she can steal a break mid race, she may get the cash. GRACLYN BALE (2) was brilliant when narrowly beaten in the Cup Night match race at Sale and she is expected to give a great sight again this evening.
