Sandown Park 29.24 winner Cybertruck and Shepparton Classic finalist Jungle Panther should provide a great clash in a 500m Grade 5 final at Bendigo this afternoon.

G1 Silver Chief placegetter Papi Go Fast and the promising Hill Top Jonnie are expected to bolster their respective strike rates, while G3 placegetters Hushing Dusk and My Name’s Stacey face G1 finalist Caroline in a Mixed 4/5 500m race.

Zipping Scorcher – victorious in five straight races before finishing third in a heat of the G2 Shepparton Cup – stands out in a Mixed 4/5 460m event at Geelong tonight.

? Must Watch Race ?

Grade 5 Final

? Bendigo ? Race 8
? 500m ⏱ 5:27pm

The Watchdog says ?: CYBERTRUCK (1) was enormous last Friday and is drawn to lead throughout again today. IN A BLUE (5) was impressive in his 500m debut last Friday and he will be much better for the run, so he can fill the quinella spot. The rest of the field are even, so a number of selections have been included as potential third placegetters.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

CYBERTRUCK (1) has gone to another level with scorching wins at Sandown Park, The Meadows and Bendigo in a blistering 27.72sec. He managed to cross from box six in his heat last Friday, so from the good draw he should get a cheap lead and they will have to go fast to reel him in. JUNGLE PANTHER (2) has some blistering wins to his credit, and he will have plenty of support, however he needs room in the initial stages. IN A BLUE (5) was huge when placed in the Shepparton Classic Final recently and he was far from disgraced in his 500m debut here last Friday. He should be able to settle in the top three and he will be better for the run. ZIGZAG CABANG (7) deserves a mention, however he has been missing the kick of late.

The Watchdog says ? : HUSHING DUSK (2) is a powerful type and in a race which features an abundance of early speed, she should take a nice sit and be able to run over the top in the closing stages. ROMINA BALE (1) was big at The Meadows last time and from the good draw tonight, there should be no excuses.
