The Watchdog says ? : She meets a good one in THUNDER DASH (5), but she really caught the eye here last Thursday night when she charged home into third spot. It was her first look at the track, and she got lost through the bend and found plenty of bother in the run. From the good draw today, she will get every chance to balance up and she should be there to strike as they turn for home.

? $1.50 Win – DR. KNUCKLES

? Must Watch Race ?

Grade 5 Final

? Warragul ? Race 6
? Box 4 ? 460m ⏱ 8:25pm

TAB fixed odds: $9 Win
? Lucky Longshot ?

The Watchdog says ?: DR. KNUCKLES (4) was close to crossing and leading in his heat and that would have seen him win. If he steps away and leads, he is capable of an upset.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

Plenty of depth in the event and the exciting SIR HARLEY (7) has really put it all together now. He burst onto the scene with some scorching Sale wins, however he didn’t really continue to improve until recent weeks. After stepping well in his heat, he carved out blistering sectionals before scoring in a scorching 25.64sec and a repeat of that will see him score again. INVICTUS ETHAN (8) is the obvious danger. He has been a little costly of late, but he is a gifted chaser, and he should get a nice cart across early on.

The Watchdog says ? : OVERSHADOWED (1) has the good draw and he will be carving out serious time. SOCIETY ICON (1) was a brilliant 25.30sec Ballarat winner two runs back and if she can step on terms tonight, she should be able to punch through and lead and a replica of that Ballarat win will see her smoke them.
