The Watchdog says : AUSSIE CHAINSAW (7) was brilliant on debut, and he will be even better for the run, so a clean getaway should see him finish in the top two. DR. SLATS (6) was huge last Sunday and is expected to lead from start to finish, while MY NAME’S STACEY (8) is very well graded and with a clear run early, she will prove too strong in the run home.

Must Watch Race
Healesville Derby Final
Healesville Race 8
Box 1 350m 1:05pm
TAB fixed odds: $3.40 Win
The Watchdog says : TAB Million Dollar Chase finalist PHOTO MAN (1) – victorious in eight of his 19 starts including the Launching Pad Consolation – turned in a big performance here last Sunday and with a clear run early, he can go one better. It’s a hot line-up of potential stars but he is very powerful and at the price, he looks a great bet.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
PHOTO MAN (1) turned in a colossal performance in his heat here last Sunday. If he can step on terms, he should be able to hold a prominent spot and he can prove too strong in the run home. DYNAMIC PRINCE (5) has a great record here and is a ridiculous talent, however he is poorly drawn, and he will need some room in the initial stages. SILVER BRUTE (6) was run down by DYNAMIC PRINCE last Sunday, but it was his first look at the track, and he will be much better for the run. SHIMA SHEEN (2) and ZIGZAG CABANG (4) are both track specialists and must be respected, however they will both need to lead to win. FLYING PIE (8) has been enormous in his four runs to date and from the good draw, he should get plenty of room to put himself into contention.

The Watchdog says : XINMIN BALE (2) is a powerful type and will be suited by the smaller line-up today. STREET OF DREAMS (1) has carved out some ridiculous wins at Geelong of late and he will be suited by the rise in distance and small field. ZIPPING VIKING (1) was luckless from a wide draw last time out and from the rails draw today, a forward showing is expected.
