G2 Traralgon Cup winner and dual track record holder Typhoon Sammy versus G2 Bendigo Cup winner Paua Of Buddy should be a scintillating clash in a Mixed 3/4 460m race at Warragul tonight.

Another great contest pits G2 Traralgon Cup runner-up Paua Of Janie against the in-form Coolant in a 400m Free For All, while I’m Back and G3 Provincial Plate finalist Enabler headline a 460m Grade 5 final.

Ever Lovin’ Man – victorious in six of his last seven starts – faces promising chasers Propelled and Compton Blazer in a Grade 5 460m race.

The Watchdog says ? : AMBITIOUS (4) has turned in some stellar performances here of late and she looks very well graded today. With a clean getaway, she should prove too strong late. PAUA OF JANIE (6) was placed in the Group 2 Traralgon Cup final, and she continues to elevate her game. The small line-up should suit and with an ounce of luck early, she can get the job done.

Multi price: $2.10

The Watchdog says ? : He has been desperately unlucky of late, and he should find this event a lot easier. STORM TO BURN (1) and SPEEDY SPYRO (4) both possess good early burn, so he should be able to take a nice sit early on and then prove too strong in the run home.

? Must Watch Race ?

Mixed Grade 3/4

? Warragul ? Race 7
? 460m ⏱ 8:57pm

The Watchdog says ?: Group 2 Traralgon Cup champion TYPHOON SAMMY (5) should be leading, and I think Group 2 Bendigo Cup winner PAUA OF BUDDY (4) will struggle to reel him in. SIERRA FOXTROT (7) goes well at Warragul and looks the likely prospect for third.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

TYPHOON SAMMY (5) has been enormous in his past four runs with the latest being a win here last Tuesday night in a breathtaking 25.47sec. He went through the first marker in a ridiculous 6.35sec and a repeat of that should see him roll to the lead and PAUA OF BUDDY (4) will have to go to another level to reel him in. The Group 2 Bendigo Cup champion resumed in a heat of the Group 2 Traralgon Cup, and he was far from disgraced when placed behind EARN THE ANSWERS. He has consistently gone around the 6.46sec to the first marker here and if he can run something similar tonight, he should clear the inside division and turn for home within striking distance.
