The Watchdog says ? : He is a really powerful type, and he has been racing well without winning in town. He is going to need some luck in running, however there is plenty of pace drawn inside and out, so he should be able to get a nice sit early on and he will be very strong in the run to the line.

Mixed Grade 4/5

? Geelong ? Race 8
? 520m ⏱ 4:37pm

The Watchdog says ?: Dual Group 1 placegetter MR. FIX IT (2) should be leading throughout today, while his kennelmate TYLER DURDEN (1) should be able to run home into second spot. MIDORIYAMA (3) is a strong type, while RIPPLEBROOK GLEN (4) and LEKTRA RHINO (7) are on-speed runners, so they have been included for third.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

MR. FIX IT (2) is one of the state’s premier sprinters and he is expected to return to the winners list today. He has been sparingly raced of late and has been beaten in his past six, however one of those defeats was a second placing in the Group 1 Adelaide Cup Final. Today’s assignment is a significant drop in class, so he should pounce on the lead soon after box rise and be in control throughout. His kennelmate TYLER DURDEN (1) returns from a spell, and he too is expected to race well. He doesn’t have the same type of early speed as the favourite; however, he has strength on his side, and he is drawn to settle a little closer than normal. LEKTRA RHINO (7) has turned in some great performances of late, while RIPPLEBROOK GLEN (4) shouldn’t be too far away.
