The Watchdog says : ANGUS RHODE (1) is a class act when fit and he should be primed for a bold showing fresh. MECHANICAL (3) will need some luck in running but this race has a heap of early speed which should suit as he should be able to get a nice sit early and then run over the top late. FUNKY FELIX (7) is racing with confidence, and he is suited by the wide draw today, so a top-three finish looks likely.

Multi price: $4.54

$2 Place – HURRICANE KEELY Lucky Longshot
Warragul Race 5 Box 3 460m 8:05pm
TAB fixed odds: $7 Place
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666540579/race/5

The Watchdog says : HURRICANE KEELY (3) is facing a significant rise in class; however, she can run time when sitting just off the pace in good company. So, with THREE WISHES (2) and WOW’S SHE’S FAST (4) expected to carve out time and break up the field, ‘Keely’ should be able to sneak into third spot at nice odds.

Must Watch Race

Restricted Win Heat

Warragul Race 10
460m 9:46pm

The Watchdog says : HERE COMES PIE (1) has the good draw and I think he can lead throughout. ARCHIE’S ENTITY (4) is the obvious pick for second, however he is poorly drawn and there is a chance he may find bother, so we have gone wide for second spot in the hope of securing some value.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :

Great match-up which sees two star prospects in HERE COMES PIE (1) and ARCHIE’S ENTITY (4) square off. ‘Archie’ returns to Warragul after two handy placings in town in which he showed scorching early and mid-race pace before getting tired in the closing stages. Tonight, he drops back to a more suitable journey of 460m, and he has won here previously in a scorching 25.64sec, however he runs into a rocket in HERE COMES PIE (1) who has won here in a breathtaking 25.53sec. Both runners have similar early sectionals here, so the box draw is a huge advantage, and the red appears to have the edge. Fingers crossed both runners gain a clear passage and a sub 25.60sec run could be on the cards.
