The Watchdog has earmarked a speedster with ‘structurally sound’ form – at Warrnambool. And it’s the aptly named Well Built who has been laying down ‘solid foundations’. He’s won two of his past three starts (67%) and loves the ‘red’ alley, from which he’s three from five (60%). “He’s drawn to figure prominently. He’s been taking on, and beating, some high-class types…,” The Watchdog said. But the expert form analyst inferred he’ll need to ‘tame’ Tiger Time who recently contested the Listed Mount Gambier Cup. “He’s the most gifted chaser…

Local star Weblec Jet was ‘jet-propelled’ in tonight’s Group 2 Geelong Gold Cup final (520m). In a race where all eight finalists were from the Geelong region, Weblec Jet, trained at Anakie by Jeff Britton, clocked a near-record 29.54sec. His time was only .02sec off the 29.52sec track record, set by Fernando Express – trained by Britton’s older brother, Rob – on July 27, 2018. Jumping brilliantly from Box 4, Weblec Jet ($3.00F) left his rivals in a ‘jet stream’ defeating ‘country cups king’ Yozo Bale ($4.00) by 4 lengths,…

Trainer Angela Langton believes box eight is Tyler Durden’s greatest hurdle as the three-time Group 1 sprint finalist chases a middle-distance hat-trick at The Meadows in Saturday night’s TAB Venue Mode Grade 5 final (600m) – Race 5 at 8.06pm. Named after the lead character from cult movie Fight Club, Tyler Durden was runner-up in the G1 Silver Chief final in January, beaten less than a length, and also contested the Australian Cup and National Derby finals at G1 level. But his get-back and finish-hard racing pattern always indicated he…

It’s ‘uncle’ versus ‘nephew’ in the Cup Night Match Race (520m) on Friday night’s G2 Geelong Gold Cup program That’s right, it’s the ‘Battle of Britton’ – but far from a ‘family feud’… Yes, they’re a tight-knit crew! Uncle Jeff has Mepunga Warrior (Box 1), while nephew Tim – the son of Jeff’s older brother Rob – has Utah Express (Box 3) in the $10,000 winner-takes-all event. Utah Express recently won a Launching Pad Consolation in a scorching 29.22sec at Sandown Park and Mepunga Warrior was a G3 Launching Pad…

They’re ‘barking’ at the “Kennel”, and Doggies’ fans will be collectively ‘wagging tails’ on tonight’s AFL/Greys offer.

Meanwhile, the Correy Grenfell-trained Yozo Bale is TAB’s $2.90 favourite in the $50,000 to-the-winner Cup. Crowned…
