Form 👉 https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666538551/race/12
The Watchdog says 🎤 : BLACKPOOL ASTRO (4) is a powerful type, and he looks very well graded today, so with an ounce of luck early he can get the job done. LETHAL VISION (2) loves racing up the straight and he will get a nice run through behind BLAZING SAL (1) in the initial stages. SHE’S A CHARM (7) is suitably drawn out wide and she will be strong in the run to the line, so with a clear run early, a top-two finish looks likely.
Multi price: $5.43
💰 $4 Win – UNATHI BALE
📍 Geelong 🏁 Race 8 🔲 Box 5 📏 460m ⏱ 9:19pm
TAB fixed odds: $3.40 Win
Form 👉 https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666538550/race/8
The Watchdog says 🎤 : UNATHI BALE (5) really has gone to another level of late and he is a near faultless beginner. So, with another good getaway, he should assume control easily and he is around a 25.50sec type of chaser at Geelong now and that run would see him get the cash.
💰 $2 Trifecta – 8 / 7 / 4,5 (100%)
👀 Must Watch Race 👀
Mixed Grade 4/5
📍 Traralgon 🏁 Race 9
📏 450m ⏱ 9:47pm
The Watchdog says 🎤: Shepparton 450m track record MR. AUDACIOUS (8) is expected to dominate and Group 2 Shepparton Cup placegetter DREAM WIZARD (7) will chase hard into second spot. MAXWELL (5) – placed in his last six races – looks the likely runner for third but the strong FRACTURED (4) is more than capable.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview 🎤:
The electrifying MR. AUDACIOUS (8) goes to work again tonight and I’m expecting him to give the record (24.63sec) a nudge. He returned here on April 28 after a minor injury and he beat a good line-up in a best-of-meeting 21.90sec. He is better suited to this journey and he will be better for the run. DREAM WIZARD (7) is a winner of 32 races from 86 career starts and he appears to be the main danger. He has turned in some brilliant performances in recent months and he has the ability to lead or come from off the pace. He should get enough room to balance up and he will be on the favourite’s heels for most of the journey. MAXWELL (5) looks the likely option to fill the minor end of the money, however FRACTURED (4) is racing with confidence.
