Premier Racing at Sandown Park tonight features dual Group placegetter McCooly’s Lad rising in distance from a heat of the G1 TAB Australian Cup.
Call Me Buster, the in-form Invictus Jaxson and G2 Ballarat Cup runner-up Special Talent are considered the biggest dangers to McCooly’s Lad.
Rocket Boy – victorious in four of his last five starts and 37 of 74 overall – is at Warrnambool this evening in a 390m Free For All.

THE WATCHDOG’S $10 INVESTMENT 
Thursday 24 February
$3 Win – McCOOLY’S LAD
Must Watch Race
Mixed Grade 4/5
Sandown Park Race 6 Box 8 595m 8:43pm
TAB fixed odds: $3.10 Win
The Watchdog says 
: McCOOLY’S LAD (8) has the class edge and is the only runner capable of going sub 33.90sec. GOLDEN QUEST (7) is expected to carve across early and that should allow McCOOLY’S LAD to take over past the post the first time and he has proven hard to get past when in the clear.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
It’s a shame TRUE COLLINDA (5) has been scratched but we still see a cracking line-up with the explosive McCOOLY’S LAD (8) looking to return to the winners list. He was Group 2 placed in Queensland from this draw three runs back and with GOLDEN QUEST (7) expected to carve across, he should get a nice cart across early, and he will get every chance to smash the 34-second barrier. SPECIAL TALENT (4) is an interesting runner. He has been racing with minimal luck of late, but he is a gifted chaser when at his best and he will be suited to this distance range. INVICTUS JAXSON (3) is racing with confidence and just needs to step on terms, whilst the ultra-consistent CALL ME BUSTER (1) is drawn to get all the breaks.

The Watchdog says : He has turned in some great performances here of late and he should get a nice cart across from SAILOR’S GIRL (4) in the initial stages. He looks very well graded in this event and he just needs to do everything right at box rise.
$3 Win – WEBLEC RANGER Sandown Park Race 11 Box 7 515m 10:24pm
TAB fixed odds: $3.80 Win
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666542506/race/11
The Watchdog says : His recent form hasn’t been great, but he has been posted wide in his past two at Geelong and he can make amends tonight. There is limited pace with FORECFULLY (6), a keen railer in TWO PHONES (5) and an empty draw on his outside, so with a clean getaway he should hit the first turn in the top two and he is a different chaser when in the clear.
