The Watchdog says ? : I didn’t have SIMON SAYS (7) in my selections as I believe there are betting winning chances, however he has been placed in all five runs here and he is suitably drawn out wide, so he looks a great place chance again. APOLLO ONE (8) is ideally drawn out wide and he will be on the speed from the outset. CRABBY YABBY (1) has a good record here and she will get plenty of cover in the initial stages of the race.

? Must Watch Race ?

Healesville Puppy Championship Final

? Healesville ? Race 6
? Box 5 ? 300m ⏱ 12:32pm

TAB fixed odds: $6 Place

The Watchdog says ?: DEMON FLYER (5) is taking on some exciting youngsters including Friday night’s Pink Diamond Rookie Short Course placegetter FLYING PIE (4), but he has a great record here over 350m and he will be strong in the run home. With luck early, he can maybe sneak into second or third.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

FLYING PIE (4) has been enormous in his brief career to date. With four wins from five attempts over this track/distance and a scorching 16.47sec PB, he is expected to make his presence felt. SHIMA SHEEN (2) has gone to another level since joining the Selkrig kennel and he has a tremendous record here over 350m. He has proven to be a reliable beginner and with FASCINATE AUSSIE (1) expected to be prominent early, he should get a nice run into the race. ASTON SCORCHER (6) is a gifted speedster, but he can miss the kick and he will be looking for the rail, so he is going to need a few things to go his way. DEMON FLYER (5) may be the value runner. He has a great record here over 350m and he caught the eye when placed in his heat. The draw isn’t great, but he will be very strong in the closing stages.

The Watchdog says ? : MAC SWAN (5) has turned in some impressive performances here of late and he will set a cracking pace. He may get a little tired, but he should have enough in the tank for a top-two finish. SWEET VIBES (7) meets a good one in JEMIMA ROCKS (2) but he has turned in some colossal runs of late and he will be charging to the line. The small field will suit, and a top two-finish looks likely. RELEASE THE RAGE (2) is a rocket and he will be carving out time in the lead.
