Healesville Race 8 - Follow @Watchdogracing On X
FIFTY SHORT (8) is a handy type who notched his 15th career success when too good (22.13) from Box 5 at Ballarat. Yet to miss the placings in four runs from this box, including two wins. Can measure up again. UNCLE DAVE (7) is a well performed dog and winner of 10 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at Ballarat (22.61). In the mix. PAW JENNEKE (1) has a strong record this journey with three wins and a minor from seven starts. Missed the frame latest (23.66) when sixth over 410m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. DINOSAUR DEANO (6) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Others preferred on this occasion.
