The Watchdog says : STORM STROLLER (3) went to another level at Geelong, and he appears to be the real deal. He should be able to pounce on the lead and score with ease. FABRIOLA XIMENEZ (1) has turned in some colossal performances of late and from the good draw, there should be no excuses tonight.

Multi price: $5.06

$5 Win – BOSTON GARDEN
The Meadows Race 2 Box 2 525m 6:57pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.60 Win
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666539927/race/2

The Watchdog says : He is armed with elite pace soon after box rise and with INDY FIDO (1) expected to hold the early lead, he should get a dream run through at the bend. It’s a quality affair, however he has the talent to run around the 29.80sec mark and that would be more than enough to score.

 $2 Place – WEBLEC BLAZER

Must Watch Race

Group 1 TAB Silver Chief Final

The Meadows Race 8
Box 4 525m 8:57pm

TAB fixed odds: $3.10 Place

The Watchdog says : WEBLEC BLAZER (4) needs some luck in running, however he is the fastest chaser in the race, and I think he can find the rail before they reach the first bend. The last 300m is when he does his best work, so if he can settle top five, he can hit the scoreboard.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :

Great line-up and any one of six runners could get the cash. IT’S ONLY MONEY (1), SLINGSHOT JONESY (2), XAVIEN BALE (6) and TITAN BLAZER (7) are expected to challenge for the early lead and the inside division should be able to hold the top. If that happens, ZIPPY TESLA (3) and WEBLEC BLAZER (4) should get a nice run through at the bend. ‘Tesla’ has carved out some scorching wins of late, but he is yet to really show he can come from off the pace and produce similar times, whilst ‘Weblec’ has proven he is quite versatile, so at the double figure quote, he looks to be the value. The inside two runners are the most inexperienced, however they have the most scope for improvement and are ones to watch going forward.
