The Watchdog says 
: FABRIOLA ZERO (4) is a powerful type, and she should be able to find the rail soon after box rise and save ground as they head through the bend. GYPSY BUN (1) has been enormous in recent months and there should be no excuses from the good draw tonight. KARMEN KRISTY (1) has been impressive since moving to Victoria and she can lead them a merry dance.

$4 Win – IDOLIZE
Must Watch Race
Shepparton Matchmakers Final
Shepparton Race 6 Box 8 450m 7:21pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.40 Win
The Watchdog says : Group 1 National Futurity winner and Group 1 Temlee runner-up IDOLIZE (8) continues to elevate her game and if she can reproduce her 6.46sec sectional from Monday night, she should have enough pace to cross and be off and gone through the bend.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
DEVINE EMPRESS (1) was an electrifying 24.96sec heat winner and she has come up with the inside draw tonight. A clean getaway should see her figure in the finish, however there is an abundance of pace drawn outside. IDOLIZE (8) is one of the best beginners in the game. She won her heat from a similar draw on Monday night and although a tad slower than the ‘Empress’, I think she will be much better for the run. RUNAWAY MISS (5) is the interesting runner. She is poorly drawn, however she has gone to another level in her past three. She took a while to find her feet, but she is going to be a star. SHE’S REFINED (10) has been lucky enough to gain a start, but she will need a few things to go her way early on with early pace on either side.

$2 Win – DESTINI SAXON $1 Win – DYNAMIC PRINCE Shepparton Race 7 Boxes 3 & 4 450m 7:41pm

TAB fixed odds: $13 Win (Dynamic Prince)
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666540648/race/7
The Watchdog says : Really strong line-up, however DESTINI SAXON (3) should be able to roll to the front and he will give them something to catch. DYNAMIC PRINCE (4) is probably the most talented chaser in the event, but he always needs an ounce of luck early on, however at the price, he is worth a small nibble.
