Daily Mail: ‘Black Sail’ checking ‘Rear View Mirror’?

An exciting clash between Traralgon 500m track record holder Black Sail and the in-form Rear View Mirror in a Mixed 4/5 460m race is the highlight of tonight’s meeting at Warragul.

Consistent chasers duel in a couple of Warragul to Sandown Park Grade 5 460m heats with Jet Like Rico v Dunwerkin followed by Fernando Dusty v Indiana Phones.

Life’s Gal v Back Moo Moo v Air Race Ace v Zipping Campbell v Sweet Obsidian should be an intriguing Mixed 4/5 400m event, while the classy Kasemi lines up for the first time since March 21 in a 400m Special Event.

The Watchdog says : ASTON LATHAM (1) has a fair bit on these talent wise, so he should be winning, however he can miss the kick, so we have gone with the place option to be safe. AUSSIE CHAINSAW (1) has been impressive in his two runs to date, and he is drawn to make every post a winner.

The Watchdog says : DUNWERKIN (2) is a powerful type, and he should get a nice run through behind JET LIKE RICO (1) early and when the red moves wide through the bend, he should be able to dash away. LIFE’S GAL (1) has turned in some handy performances since moving to Victoria and she is drawn to get all the breaks tonight.

Must Watch Race

Mixed Grade 4/5

Warragul Race 8
Box 8 460m 9:17pm

TAB fixed odds: $2.80 Win

The Watchdog says : REAR VIEW MIRROR (8) is as consistent as they come and with a clean getaway, he should be able to assume control in the initial stages. With strong 500m Traralgon form, he will prove very hard to reel in if he can find the top early on.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :

BLACK SAIL (2) showed enormous potential when last in work and he is expected to atone for his luckless run at Traralgon when resuming from a spell. His box manners aren’t great, but he does pick up quickly and he can rail, so with a clear run initially, he should be able to burst into contention as they negotiate the first turn. REAR VIEW MIRROR (8) has been racing in great style at Traralgon of late and he is a major player. He doesn’t have a great record from this draw but with a lack of genuine early pace engaged in this event, he should be able to muster pace quickly and assume control soon after box rise. WEEONA JACK (5) beat a good line-up here two runs back and he just needs to find the rail after box rise.
