Has The Watchdog been hit by ‘cosmic rays’?

Well, he has ‘extreme energy’ on the chances of Zevatron who has an ability to ‘accelerate particles’.

Astrophysics puns aside, Zevatron is ideally drawn in the ‘pink’ alley.

“Zevatron likes to use plenty of the track, and he’s armed with breathtaking pace once he balances up. So, from a good draw, there should be no excuses,” The Watchdog said.

He’s also won 10 races from 30 starts and has a respectable 25.16sec PB over 450m at Shepparton.

But the expert form analyst isn’t totally discounting ultra-consistent Fortuna Bale – who was runner-up in last week’s Ballarat Cup – getting the ‘cookies’?

“However, I’m a tad concerned that it’s a quick turnaround and she may come into this a little flat, which may see the ‘pink’ get away from her mid-race,” he added.
