Daily Dogs – Thursday, January 23

Albion Park: Race 2 7:49pm AEDT
No. 8 Groovebird

Groovebird is a Victorian chaser that arrives in Queensland in good form. 

The Jeff Britton-trained bitch led all the way over 715m at Sandown for an 8.5 length win in a best of the night time of 41.98 seconds. 

She had her first look around Albion Park over 600m three starts ago where she raced wide for a length third. 

The previous box 8 winner has the speed to find a prominent position. 

Albion Park: Race 3 8:10pm AEDT
No. 3 Ethanol Water

Ethanol Water was a touch slow and was immediately checked out of the lids when finishing at the tail of the field in the Golden Sands Final last start. 

The Thomas Dailly-trained bitch was excellent two starts back when proving too strong over 600m here in 34.78 seconds. 

The rise in distance suits given she won the G1 Bold Trease Final five starts back over the trip.  

She looks well placed in this field.  

Albion Park: Race 4 8:28pm AEDT
No. 6 Black Silencer

Black Silencer was electric in his first race over this course and distance last start. 

The son of Hooked On Scotch found the front early in the Clem Jones Cup Final before extending his lead to romp in by 9.5 lengths in a slick 41.59 seconds. 

The classy chaser was narrowly beaten by Ethanol Waters in the Bold Trease Final five starts ago. 

Given how quick he ran at his first look at the track, he will only be improved and should be hard to beat. 

Albion Park: Race 6 9:10pm AEDT
No. 6 Vincent Bale

Vincent Bale arrives in Queensland in great form with three wins from his past four starts. 

The son of Christo Bale recorded a best of the night 29.41 seconds when easily winning over 525m at The Meadows last start. 

Three starts back he scorched the Warragul sand when clocking a best of the night 25.39 seconds in his Cup heat win.  

On his day, he’s an ultra-quick beginner and can lead this field. 

Daily Dogs – Wednesday, January 22

Ballarat: Race 3 7:04pm AEDT
No. 7 Fists Will Fly

Fists Will Fly was a touch slow last start at Geelong but can bounce back. 

The son of Bella Infrared was very good two starts ago when leading all the way from box 1 over 450m at Shepparton in 25.30 seconds which was just outside the best time of the night. 

He should be near peak fitness now and has the speed to cross from box 7. 

Ballarat: Race 6 8:09pm AEDT
No. 2 Giacomo

Giacomo takes on this course and distance for the first time but has the class to claim the opening heat of the Western Districts Derby.

The Jeff Britton-trained dog finished third in the G1 Silver Chief final four starts back before clocking a best of the night 25.77 seconds over 460m at Geelong.

He arrives here in excellent form having won over 515m at Sandown in 29.40 seconds last start.

He has the speed to jump on the arm and go all the way.

Ballarat: Race 8 8:49pm AEDT
No. 2 Canya All Up

Canya All Up is building a nice record with four wins from his six starts. 

The son of Aston Rupee is undefeated in two races over this course and distance including two starts back when he scorched around the circuit in 24.87 seconds. 

He won his only previous start from box 2 and should be able to cross the red and prove hard to beat.  

Ballarat: Race 11 9:50pm AEDT
No. 2 Tattooed

Tattooed is racing in super form with three wins from his past four starts and looks well placed here. 

The Anthony Azzopardi-trained dog led all the way over 425m at Bendigo last start to win by seven lengths. 

Prior to that he registered best of the night times when winning at Warragul and Warrnambool. 

He looks to have too much speed for his rivals and maps to get the run of the race from box 2. 

Daily Dogs – Tuesday, January 21

Warragul: Race 5 8:07pm AEDT
No. 1 Overland Boy

Overland Boy is a lightly raced dog with an abundance of talent. 

The son of Barcia Bale was brilliant last start over 515m at Sandown Park when leading all the way in 29.39 seconds. 

He drops slightly in distance but that won’t pose a concern given he won over this course and distance five starts back in 25.92 seconds. 

With his electric jump, he can get on the arm from box 1 and prove hard to catch. 

Warragul: Race 7 8:52pm AEDT
No. 2 Emptiness

Emptiness had a slow start to his chasing career but has improved out of sight in his past two races. 

The son of Bernardo broke through for his first win two starts ago when clocking 25.74 seconds over this course and distance. 

He returned here last week and gave his rivals a hiding, dashing clear to win by 9.5 lengths in 25.68 seconds. 

Both wins were best of the night times and a repeat should see him claiming a hattrick of wins. 

Warragul: Race 8 9:16pm AEDT
No. 8 Field Day

Field Day is a talented chaser from the Jason Thompson kennel that can match motors with Australia’s best. 

The son of Hooked On Scotch was slow away last start at Ballarat but motored home from the back to finish second to Inconspicuous. 

He’ll appreciate the return to this course and distance where he won his heat of the Warragul Cup recently in 25.57 seconds before not having a great deal of luck when fourth in the final. 

Box 8 suits and should allow him to build momentum down the outside.  

Warragul: Race 9 9:40pm AEDT
No. 8 Acquisition

Acquistion has won two of his first four races and looks well placed in this field. 

The Jason Thompson-trained dog won in quick time at Sale on debut before placing in his next two starts. 

Last time out he led all the way over 450m at Ballarat, putting his rivals to the sword by 9.5 lengths and clocking 25.28 seconds. 

He has the early speed to spear across from box 8 and lead. 

Daily Dogs – Sunday, January 19

RICHMOND: Race 3 (5:40pm)
No. 7 Canya Sapphire

Canya Sapphire has had two wins from just four starts and she looks to have a a bright future.

The Bernardo youngster looked a bit lost on debut at Bulli but stepping out here at her second start, she put it all together to record a dominant nine length victory.

She struck trouble early at her following outing but was too good again last time.

With a clean path, she should prove too slick for them.

RICHMOND: Race 6 (6:45pm)
No. 4 Zipping Shayna

Zipping Shayna could not have been more impressive when making her debut here nine days ago.

From box two the daughter of Aston Rupee showed good speed to take up the running and the further they went, the further in front she got.

The margin on the line was 10.5 lengths and with natural improvement, she looks to hard to beat again.

RICHMOND: Race 11 (8:20pm)
No. 1 Zipping Novak

Zipping Novak scored a determined win over this track and trip back in October.

Given a break, he then returned earlier in the week but off a slow start over the 340m at Bulli, he was never a hope.

A very capable chaser on his day, he’s got a great record at this track and from the inside draw, he’s recorded four wins and three second placings from eight start.

He looks to have a lot in his favour and with a clean getaway, he can add another win to his tally.

Daily Dogs – Saturday, January 18

THE GARDENS: Race 5 (7:20pm)
No. 4 Macho's Run

Macho’s Run is building an enviable record and will look to make it three on the bounce.

He won well at Maitland two runs back and was ultra impressive last start, where off the wide draw he showed good speed to cross and powered away to score by six lengths.

With a clean getaway, he looks hard to beat again.

THE GARDENS: Race 6 (7:40pm)
No. 3 Canya Brew It

Canya Brew It has won three of his past four starts and looks well placed to win again.

The Fernando Bale youngster just found one better here two starts back but he proved superior last time, as he took up the running and never looked in doubt.

He had box three last start, he gets it again and I think he can repeat that performance.

THE GARDENS: Race 8 (8:20pm)
No. 5 Skinny Marie

Skinny Marie is racing well and comes off a strong win over this track and trip.

From the outside box she showed plenty of pace to cross to the front and held a nice break on them throughout.

She only won by a length but she did it well and I think she can do it again.

THE GARDENS: Race 12 (9:37pm)
No. 5 Casari

Casari is racing in fine form and will look to make it back to back wins.

She ended up closer to the outside rail when cornering at Gosford two back and it was a big effort to claim second but she did everything right last time and proved too slick for them.

With eight wins and five seconds from just seventeen starts, she’s not short of talent and she looks hard to beat here.

Daily Dogs – Friday, January 17

GEELONG: Race 1 (5:47pm)
No. 4 Seek To Plan

Seek To Plan has just had the one start and was very impressive over this course and distance.

Off the inside draw the Aston Rupee youngster showed good speed and found the lead but just had one sneak through on the inside and get the better of him late.

The time was good and with natural improvement, he looks a top chance here.

GEELONG: Race 3 (6:28pm)
No. 5 Gunai Hurricane

Gunai Hurricane has performed very well in all three starts to date, finishing second on debut before scoring back to back wins.

All three runs have been over the 425m at Bendigo so he makes his first appearance here, but he looks very progressive and should prove hard to catch.

GEELONG: Race 5 (7:17pm)
No. 6 Reiko Daquiri

Reiko Daquiri is building a very tidy record and has yet to miss the frame in five race starts.

She was beaten a length into second at her only try over this course and distance and showed plenty of determination to score by a nose last start at Ballarat.

She’ll start from box six for the first time and is sure to be strong late.

GEELONG: Race 8 (8:22pm)
No. 2 Pass The Buck

Pass The Buck is in hot form and will look to make it three on the bounce.

The son of Bernardo was strong three runs back, finishing second at Warrnambool before putting together successive victories over the 460m at Warragul.

He’s got a brilliant record over this distance, with five wins from seven starts and he’ll be hard to beat again off box two.

Daily Dogs – Thursday, January 15

SANDOWN PARK: Race 2 (6:24pm)
No. 1 Nosey Bluey

Nosey Bluey has proven too good in three of his past four outings and his last start win was ultra impressive.

Jumping from the outside box the Bernardo youngster showed good early speed to cross and never looked in doubt as he sped away to score by six lengths.

He’s building a strong record here and looks hard to beat with the inside draw.

SANDOWN PARK: Race 4 (7:04pm)
No. 8 Cashing Out

Cashing Out is racing in red hot form and will look to make it four on the bounce.

The son of Aston Rupee put together back to back wins over the 595m here before stepping out to 715m, and he again proved too good.

He’s yet to win off box eight but benefits from a few scratchings and looks the one to beat.

SANDOWN PARK: Race 7 (8:04pm)
No. 6 Urana Zaxier

Urana Xavier has made a flying start to his career, scoring in three of his four starts.

Only narrowly beaten at his second outing, he’s been dominant at his past two, both over this track and trip.

He continues to improve with each run and if he can cross early, they won’t catch him.

SANDOWN PARK: Race 10 (9:14pm)
No. 1 Reaper

Reaper is building a very tidy record and he looks well placed to get another win on the board.

He was too slick for them here over 515m three runs back and has finished the runner up at his past two, finishing off strongly over the shorter trips.

Up to 595m looks ideal for the Jason Thompson trained son of Bernardo and he gets the advantage of the inside draw.

Daily Dogs – Wednesday, January 15

ALBION PARK: Race 1 (2:34pm)
No. 4 Black On Gold

Black On Gold has just had the two starts and showed nice improvement last time.

He was good on debut over 331m and appreciated the rise to 395 last time as he was strong through the line to finish second.

With a clean getaway, he should prove hard to beat.

ALBION PARK: Race 3 (3:12pm)
No. 5 Raffa

Raffa kicked off his career in fine style, scoring a commanding ten length victory over this track and distance.

Given a let up, he then stepped out to 520m but wasn’t able to cross from the wide draw and just felt the pinch late.

He looks well placed back in trip and with the added fitness, I think he’ll prove too slick for them.

ALBION PARK: Race 7 (4:30pm)
No. 4 Unique

Unique has been racing well and should appreciate stepping out that bit further here.

She holds a great overall record and does perform well over this course and distance.

She’s recorded two wins and two seconds from just five starts out of box four and with even luck, she’ll be right in this.

ALBION PARK: Race 11 (5:44pm)
No. 4 Look For Lionel

Look For Lionel is building an enviable record and will look to make it three on the bounce.

The son of Orson Allen won his first two starts before finishing a narrow runner up at his next two.

He bounced back with a dominant 7.5 length victory on Boxing Day before proving too good again last week.

He’s a smart dog in the rise and he’ll be hard to beat again.

Daily Dogs – Tuesday, January 14

IPSWICH: Race 3 (2:37pm)
No. 4 Affluent

Affluent is racing consistently and looks a top chance to get another win on the board.

The son of Aston Rupee made it back to back successes last month and has been placed in three subsequent runs.

All of those have been at Albion Park and I think he’ll relish getting back to Ipswich.

He’s got a great record over this track and trip and with even luck, should prove too good for them.

IPSWICH: Race 4 (2:52pm)
No. 1 Validate

Validate has won at three of his four starts and is shooting to make it four on the bounce.

He didn’t have the best of luck on debut off a wide draw but has proven too slick for them in three subsequent runs off the inside box.

He lines up here for the first time but with the advantage of the rails draw, he looks very hard to beat.

IPSWICH: Race 6 (3:27pm)
No. 7 Becky Dutton

Becky Dutton comes off a decisive all-the-way win at this course and distance and she looks well placed to go back to back.

The daughter of Superior Panama didn’t have the best of luck at Albion Park two runs back but with a clean break off the inside draw last time, she never looked in doubt.

She’s got a great record here and if she can cross early, she’ll be hard to catch.

IPSWICH: Race 10 (4:46pm)
No. 5 Miss Sara Jane

Miss Sara Jane is another up-and-comer who has made it three wins from four outings and will look to add to her picket fence.

The Tommy Shelby youngster was luckless on debut but she’s been too good in her three runs since, all of which have been over the 431m here.

She’s one from one off box five and she looks hard to beat again.

Daily Dogs – Friday, January 10

THE GARDENS: Race 1 (1:42pm)
No. 1 Overriding

Overriding has been the runner up in two runs to date and looks well placed to get his first win on the board.

The Aston Rupee youngster made his debut over 300m at Taree where he was beaten only 2.5 lengths and the he then stepped out over this track distance and showed good speed to cross into second and chase hard to again go down by only 2.5.

He gets the inside draw here and looks the one to beat.

THE GARDENS: Race 2 (1:57pm)
No. 6 Exemplary

Exemplary has recorded two wins and a second placing from just three starts and the son of Aston Rupee looks promising.

He won his first two here with a break in between and on the back of another spell, he was solid to the line last time after striking a bit of interference early.

He clocked 22.83 when scoring over this track and distance and if he can reproduce that, he’ll be hard to beat.

THE GARDENS: Race 8 (4:04pm)
No. 1 Frisky Felon

Frisky Felon is in red hot form and will look to make it five on the bounce.

She loves it here at The Gardens and with seven wins from her past nine starts over the 400m here, it’s hard to go past her.

She was a dominant winner when scoring at her latest and from the rails draw, she can keep building her picket fence.

THE GARDENS: Race 11 (5:08pm)
No. 2 Sign Action

Sign Action has won two of her three starts since returning from a break and she boasts a handy record at this track and distance.

The daughter of Zipping Garth did well to finish third two runs back after finding plenty of trouble early and she bounced back with a strong win last start at Maitland.

She’s quick out of the boxes and from two, she looks hard to beat.
