A ‘Fantastic Four’ meet in a Grade 5 final (400m) at Warragul tonight. But who will emerge a ‘superhero’?
The ‘marvels’ are Blackpool Flash (25 from 47 – 7 of past 10) v Gunai Rebel (11 from 27) v Made Me Blind (16 from 40) v Paua Of Janie (6 from 7).
Expert form analyst The Watchdog has tipped Blackpool Flash (4 from 5 Box 1) – winner G3 Birthday Cup and Healesville Derby – on top.
Exciting prospects Hugo (7 from 24 – 3 from 6 Trk/Dst) v Big Fonzie (3 from 6 – 3 of past 4) provide the prologue on the program. But will it be ‘happy days’ for Big Fonzie, who is a younger half-brother of G1 stars Fernando Bluey and Fernando Cazz?
And well-bred Security Man (4 of past 6) should ‘throw away the key’ on his rivals.
Meanwhile, two magical matchups highlight this afternoon’s Horsham fixture.
Track specialist Banjo Bert (7 from 20 – 6 from 14 Trk/Dst) v evergreen Kraken Tex (20 from 104 – 15 from 58 Trk/Dst) will be a ‘kraken’ clash if you’ll excuse the pun. So, who will play ‘second fiddle’?
G2 Geelong Gold Cup winner Weblec Jet (11 from 33) v Launching Pad Consolation finalist People Get Ready (7 from 21) will also command plenty of punting interest.
And at Healesville today, keep a ‘look out’ for Rearview Mirror (5 from 18 – 4 from 6 Trk/Dst), along with Hill Top Jonah (8 from 21) – a litter brother of Koblenz – v You Fugitive (11 from 29 – 5 of past 9).

The Watchdog says 
: BLACKPOOL FLASH (1) just continues to chalk up wins for fun and he appears drawn to score again. He had no trouble crossing the field from out wide in his brilliant 22.63sec heat win, so from the inside draw he should be able to pounce on the early lead again and they will have to go sub 22.50sec to reel him in. PAUA OF JANIE (7) has won six of seven in devastating fashion, and she is the most gifted speedster in the event. Although beaten last week, she was far from disgraced as she did miss the kick a little and had to work through the field in the initial stages. If she can step on terms, she has the pace to settle outside of the top elect and she will pour on the pressure throughout the journey. GUNAI REBEL (2) is a classy provincial speedster who is armed with blistering pace soon after box rise. I do not think she can topple the ‘Flash,’ but she should be able to follow him through and figure in the finish. MADE ME BLIND (4) is the interesting runner. The box draw has not done her any favours, but she was the fastest heat winner in an electrifying 22.41sec. The start will be crucial for her, if she can step cleanly then she is right in the mix, however if she hesitates slightly, she may get crowded and will then be giving some smart chasers a big head start. Fingers crossed all the ‘big guns’ can step cleanly and gain a clear passage throughout. If that happens, we could see a sub 22.50sec run.

The Watchdog says : REAR VIEW MIRROR (8) is a track specialist, and he is ideally drawn out wide, so with an ounce of luck early a top two finish looks likely. SUPER FOOT (8) was a brilliant debut winner here and he looks perfectly drawn today. SUPERIOR JESSICA (7) will find this easier than her most recent races and she just needs a clear crack mid race.

: 7,8: 1,6: 2,3,8: 1,7
The Watchdog says : ASTON AMIGO (7) and ASTON MARVEL (8) are two serious prospects and should dominate the first leg. ROYAL GOSSIP (1) and MAIN FORCE (6) should set the tempo in the second leg and fight out the finish. CONCRETE FEVER (2) is highly talented and has the fitness edge, however STUART LEE ROSE (3) and ZIPPING KINGSTON (8) are capable when in peak form and they should be primed for this event. BLACKPOOL FLASH (1) and PAUA OF JANIE (7) should have a great speed battle throughout in the final leg.

The Watchdog says : HUGO (2) is flying at present, and he can press the ‘Fonz’ throughout and he appears to be the value to finish in the top two. SECURITY MAN (5) continues to elevate his game and will appreciate the rise in distance. FLYING FIFI (2) has a tremendous record here. She will be suited by the smaller line-up tonight and a top two finish looks a great chance.
