Three-time G2 champion Ferdinand Boy lines up against G3 finalist Zigzag Cabang and Sinful Angel in a 410m Free For All at Horsham this afternoon.

THE WATCHDOG’S $10 INVESTMENT
Tuesday 19 April

$3 Multi

First : Place – LEKTRA SAMMY
Horsham Race 7 Box 1 410m 5:22pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.60 Place
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666542984/race/7

Second : Place – BARK HEALY
Horsham Race 9 Box 5 410m 5:59pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.40 Place (Top two finish required)
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666542984/race/9

The Watchdog says : LEKTRA SAMMY (1) has the good draw, and he was smartly placed in his heat last Tuesday. If he can step on terms, he should hold a top-three spot through the bend and he can hit the scoreboard. BARK HEALY (5) is armed with a big finish, and he will appreciate the smaller line-up today. With an ounce of luck early, he should be able to tack on mid-race and make a big impression in the closing stages.

Multi price: $6.24

$6 Win – NICOLSON BALE
Warragul Race 3 Box 5 400m 7:25pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.30 Win
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/666542985/race/3

The Watchdog says : He showed a tremendous turn of foot when scoring at Ballarat in a sizzling 22.02sec and I believe the draw actually isn’t too bad tonight. NO ANCHOVIES (4) has good early burn and he should give ‘Nicolson’ a dream run across, and he can then light them up through the bend.

Must Watch Race

Free For All

Warragul Race 10
400m 9:45pm

The Watchdog says : 2021 Group 1 Australian Cup runner-up FERNANDO BLUEY (8) resumes from a spell and if near peak fitness, he should be winning. Pink Diamond Champion Short Course finalist THROW CAUTION (7) loves racing here, and he should have enough pace to cross to the lead and he can fill the quinella spot.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :

FERNANDO BLUEY (8) – narrowly beaten in last year’s Group 1 Australian Cup Final – makes his return to the track tonight. He has not raced since November of last year, but he is in good hands and a bold showing fresh is expected. He has won four-of-five over this track/distance so at 80 percent fit, he should still be able to get the job done. His kennelmate THROW CAUTION (7) is a track specialist, and he appears to be the likely danger. He is a near faultless beginner and has turned in some impressive performances of late, so if he can find the top early, he will make the champ work hard throughout. SMOKIN’ ZAG (5) and AUBAMEYANG (6) round out the serious chances. Both are poorly drawn but they possess a great turn of foot once balanced.
