The Watchdog says : MEPUNGA WARRIOR (4) has always shown enormous potential and he recently qualified for the Group 2 Warrnambool Cup Final. His poor box manners can be a little frustrating at times, however with the smaller line-up tonight, he should get a nice run through at the bend and be in a stalking position as they head to the back straight. RUN BABA RUN (8) and WIOLETA BALE (7) are the two on-speed runners and are both racing with confidence. I am expecting them to match motors for most of the trip, but they are likely to set the table for the top elect. The ‘Warrior’ has gone up skinny odds, but he really does look well placed tonight and this should be a nice confidence booster for this serious up-and-comer.

The Watchdog says : WEBLEC STAR (2) and MEPUNGA RUBY (5) are expected to dominate Race 1. DR. NEEKI (3) should lead in Race 2, however TALBINGO BALE (7) and MINTER EDITION (8) are powerful types so any one of those three could get the cash. GYPSY YANKEE (7) is back to his best and can lead throughout in Race 3, however CARRY ON ANGEL (4) has the class edge, and just needs an ounce of luck early on. STAR BLAZER (1) can lead them up in Race 4 and a top two finish looks likely.

The Watchdog says : The first leg is open and we’re hoping for some value with the inside two runners. HANDSOME JACK (2) and LALINA (3) are jet propelled and should match motors throughout in the second leg. RUN LIKE JESS (4) has the class edge over his rivals and is expected to sprint well fresh in the third leg. COCO NOVA (1) should pounce on the lead and cruise to victory in the last leg.

The Watchdog says : MEPUNGA WARRIOR (4) is a beast and should appreciate the smaller line-up, so with an ounce of luck, he will prove too strong late. WIOLETA BALE (7) and RUN BABA RUN (8) should set the tempo and they can fill the placings, whilst FULL MOON PARTY (1) and ZIPPING NORMAN (5) are strong types and need to be included for third spot.

The Watchdog says : He has continued to improve with each run, and he was enormous last time out. After beginning well, he had no trouble holding the early lead, however with the powerful Pilbara on his heels, it looked like he may have had to settle for second spot, but as they turned for home, he booted away again to score. That win was ultra-impressive, and he exits the same draw tonight, so with a clean getaway, he should hold a top two spot early and prove too classy.
