The Watchdog says ? : CYBERTRUCK (8) showed plenty of promise in his first preparation and he recently trialled in quick fashion around this circuit. He is armed with slick early speed, and he should be able to cross at the bend and score.

? $3 Trifecta – 8 / 7 / 1 (300%)

? Must Watch Race ?

Mixed Grade 4/5

? The Meadows ? Race 10
? 600m ⏱ 2:17pm

The Watchdog says ?: WEBLEC BLAZER (8) will be suited by the smaller line-up, and he should be able to reel in PARTY LIGHTS (7). BRADY’S SHOUT (1) is never too far away and can sneak into third spot.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

We get to see one of the state’s fastest chasers in WEBLEC BLAZER (8) make his much-anticipated middle distance debut. He is already a dual Group 1 finalist, and he has two sub 29.80sec wins to his credit here over 525m. The box draw hasn’t done him any favours, however the smaller line-up will help and with a clear run through the bend, he is expected to light up the clock. PARTY LIGHTS (7) has returned to her brilliant best in recent weeks, and she looks the obvious danger. She has speared the lids in her past two and she will set a cracking pace.
