The Watchdog says ? : YAMASAKI BALE (2) and YAHIRO BALE (1) are both very exciting types and should be winning their events with ease, while the talented CHILLY BIN (1) is far better than his form indicates and he is drawn to get the breaks, so he should be able to hit the scoreboard.

Multi price: $3.30

Mixed Grade 6/7 Final

? Sandown Park ? Race 3
? Box 3 ? 515m ⏱ 7:40pm

TAB fixed odds: $3.70 Win

The Watchdog says ?: AMRON BOY (1) is going to take a power of beating, however KELSEY BALE (3) was able to carve out simply breathtaking sectionals in her win on Sunday and I think she will continue to get stronger. If she can cross at the bend, she may be able to boot away mid-race and steal the cash.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

AMRON BOY (1) is the most talented overall of the two runners, however he doesn’t have the same brilliant early pace as ‘Kelsey’ and that makes this race very interesting. He went 5.25sec to the first marker on debut and he managed to trim that up to a sizzling 5.09sec before stopping the timer in a breathtaking 29.06sec overall when scoring here on Sunday. KELSEY BALE (3) continues to impress and with her brilliant early pace, she could get the better of the red. She carved out a scorching five seconds flat to the first marker on Sunday and her 18.55sec sectional off the back is in SIMON TOLD HELEN territory. With a clean getaway, she should have the pace to cross early and build up a nice break in the middle stages.

The Watchdog’s selections: 3 – 1 – 4 – 5

? $5 Win – PADDY WANTS PATS

TAB fixed odds: $2.15 Win
Form ? https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666540544/race/6

The Watchdog says ? : He was enormous on Saturday night when finishing second in the Group 1 Australian Cup Final and he should find this event a little easier. He is normally very reliable at box rise, so he should be able to clear ASTON SUNSET (1) early and they will have to go sub 29.20sec to reel him in.
