Promising youngsters Jungle Panther and Aston Ziebell are set to stage a tremendous clash in a 485m Mixed 6/7 final at Horsham this afternoon.
G2 placegetter Hill Top Jonah, G3 runner-up My Name’s Stacey and G1 finalist Hill Top Jack are headline acts in their respective races.
Adonis Sands v Made Me Blind v Blackpool Astro is a great finish to the Healesville meeting, while Dr. Knuckles stands out at Sale tonight.

The Watchdog says : BABY TALK (2) comes into this nice and fresh and she should be primed for a bold first-up showing. Last time in, she turned in some brilliant performances here and I’m expecting her to recapture that type of form. JORDANVILLE JET (1) is likely to lead, however I don’t think he will have the strength to hold her off in the closing stages.

The Watchdog says : GOLDEN BOY (1) has been ultra-impressive since returning to Victoria and he looks drawn to get the cash today. ERIC GARFIELD (8) is ideally drawn out wide and with an even getaway, he should be in the top two from the outset. HELLO KEEN (6) will appreciate the big drop in class and should be making every post a winner.

Mixed Grade 6/7 Final
Horsham Race 5
485m 5:04pm
The Watchdog says : JUNGLE PANTHER (7) should assume control soon after box rise and get the cash. ASTON ZIEBELL (8) is a powerful type and is the obvious choice to fill the quinella spot. Third is a little more open, so we have gone wide in the hope of finding some value.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
There was always going to be high expectations for the half-brother to KOBLENZ, and JUNGLE PANTHER (7) has started to live up those expectations in his past three. He got the ball rolling with a scorching 25.46sec Geelong win and he then carved out a ridiculous 27.04sec here last Tuesday. The wide draw should suit today and with a clear run he could break the magical 27-second barrier. ASTON ZIEBELL (8) returned to form with a brilliant 27.16sec heat win last Tuesday and he is the obvious danger. He is a very powerful type and should be able to enter the bend in the top three. With a clear run, he will make the favourite work hard throughout.
