Dual G2 placegetter Hill Top Jonah is expected to boost his record to 27 wins from 51 starts in a 440m Grade 5 final at Sale this evening, but the promising Kysaiah will provide strong opposition.
Three-time G2 winner Ferdinand Boy stands out in a 440m Free For All, but Zachary is looking to stretch his winning run to four races.
Dual G2 runner-up Lots Of Chatter headlines a Mixed 4/5 515m race at Sandown Park this afternoon, while Slingshot Reaper – who was within two lengths of the Healesville 300m track record last Sunday – and track specialist Duncan are the feature greyhounds at Healesville.

The Watchdog says : ASTON GALAXY (1) was enormous last time out and should be leading throughout. GEL BLASTER (2) is a near faultless beginner, and he is expected to lead for a long way, so a top-three finish looks likely. DUNCAN (1) is a track specialist and there should be no excuses from the favourable draw.

The Watchdog says : He takes on a couple of jets in INVICTUS JAXSON (2) and OLD NEWS (8), however from the good draw, he should be able to push through and lead at the bend and he has proven very hard to get past when in the clear.

Must Watch Race
Grade 5 Final
Sale Race 6
440m 7:39pm
The Watchdog says : Dual Group 2 country cup placegetter HILL TOP JONAH (3) should be leading all the way, while KYSAIAH (7) will sit on his hammer throughout. BOWIE (4) and CHARLIZE (8) can battle it out for third prize.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
Great clash and the explosive HILL TOP JONAH (3) is poised to add another win to his already impressive CV. He began just fairly last Sunday night but he dropped the hammer quickly before scoring convincingly in a sizzling 24.82sec. KYSAIAH (7) is a star prospect and the likely danger. He has scored some tremendous wins in town of late and he is three-of-four over this track/distance. He recorded his scorching 24.70sec PB here from this draw and he will need to reproduce a similar run to score tonight. BOWIE (4) and CHARLIZE (8) round out the serious chances for the minor end of the money.
