The Watchdog is tipping stereotypical young star Quintana Bale to be ‘true to type’ at Geelong.
A serious talent, she’s won nine from 18 (50%) and was a finalist in the Lil Dickie Oaks (2nd) and Warrnambool Oaks (3rd).
“Four runs back, she recorded a brilliant 25.05sec Warrnambool win and a similar performance can see her score again,” he said.
But the expert form analyst rates ageless veteran Speed Star, who is contesting his 106th start, as the obvious danger.
He’s a three-time G2 finalist and has won 44 races, including six of his past 10 (60%). He’s also seven from 14 (50%) exiting the ‘pink’ alley and boasts a flying 25.48sec PB here.
He’s still racing with great confidence… and should have enough speed to cross early on.”
The Watchdog is also respectful of ex-NSW speedster Emmy’s Shark and class act Providence Bale.
