Up-and-coming chasers Aston Galaxy, Flight Risk and Soleus should provide an enthralling contest in a 425m Restricted Win heat at Bendigo this afternoon.

Littermates Aston Suzette and Aston Carey, plus Aston Sebring, are young greyhounds favoured to boost their respective strike rates.

Gladki v dual G2 finalist Benchester v G3 finalist Chop Scotch and Winnie Coaster v G1 finalist Beck’s Monelli v the in-form Axedale Pirate are both expected to be competitive races.

Warrnambool Derby finalist Orson Mick v the red-hot Release The Rage v Code Cracker and Balbina Bale v Zipping Scorcher v Distinguish should be terrific encounters at Sale tonight.

The Watchdog says ? : ASTON SUZETTE (4) and ASTON CAREY (8) are exciting littermates, and they are expected to lead throughout in their respective events. HILLBILLY LASS (8) owns a quick PB around this circuit and she is ideally drawn out wide. She meets a few handy ones, so we have gone with the place option to be safe.

? $3.50 Win – SOLEUS

? Must Watch Race ?

Restricted Win Heat

? Bendigo ? Race 12
? Box 8 ? 425m ⏱ 3:24pm

TAB fixed odds: $2.40 Win

The Watchdog says ?: SOLEUS (8) continues to impress and from the good draw there should be no excuses today. He has elite pace soon after box rise, and with natural improvement at his 11th start, he should be able to light them up through the bend.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

SOLEUS (8) is still learning what it’s all about, but he is armed with a breathtaking turn of foot once balanced and he is drawn to get all the breaks. ASTON RIVER (7) has only won one-of-eight to date, but he is armed with terrific early pace, and he is getting stronger all the time. FLIGHT RISK (5) burst onto the scene here in December with a slashing 23.74sec win here and he has turned in some great performances in strong company since. ASTON GALAXY (4) comes here with brilliant straight track form and must be respected, while MAJOR CURRENCY (6) continues to sneak under the radar, but he is highly promising and just needs a little luck early on.
